Quarter 2 – Module 1A:
Interpret Electrical Wiring Plan
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Electrical Installation and Maintenance Grade (9/10)

Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on (Interpret Electrical Wiring
Plan)!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the
teacher or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore,
this also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the
module.

developing this module.

The following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any
part of the module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the
exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other
activities included in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your
answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through
with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do
not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind
that you are not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful

learning and gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You
can do it!

 What I Need to Know

This module covers the knowledge, skills and proper attitude in installing
wiring devices such as Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI) outlets and other
special wiring devices. Specifically, this module covers Interpret Electrical Wiring
Plan.

This module consists of one (1) learning competency. The learning

competency will be achieved through the learning activities supported by
instruction sheets. Before you read the information sheet or the lesson and What Is
It, answer the pre-test or What I Know, assessment and do the activities provided to
assess yourself and for your teacher to determine that you have acquired the
knowledge necessary to perform the skill require in this learning competency.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Identify the different common electrical symbols;

2. Draw the different electrical symbols; and

3. Appreciate and value the importance of the different electrical symbols in the
Electrical Wiring Plan.

 What I Know

Let us determine how much you already know about common electrical
symbols by answering the questions below. Use your activity notebook for your
answers.

Lesson

1 Common Electrical Symbols

Basic electrical symbols represent earth the electrode, cell, ideal source,
battery, source, resister, etc. These symbols help create accurate diagrams and
documentation.
Electric circuits, whether simple or complex, can be the described in a
variety of ways. An electric circuit can be described with mere words; however, a
simple and visual way to describe an electrical circuit should be diagramming it
using basic electrical symbols.

What’s In

In preparation for the wiring plan interpretation, you must have a good
background on the common electrical symbols. Before going through in this
module, try to examine the following questions:

Why is it important to familiarize electrical symbols?

What are the things to be considered when interpreting an electrical wiring

plan?

Notes to the Teacher

Let the learners to read and understand the learning objectives.
Before going through this module, answer the questions in What I
Know and refer to the answer key for corrections. Do the different
tasks: What’s New, What’s More, What I have Learned, What I can DO,
and the additional activities. Finally, answer the assessment and refer
to the answer key for correction. After doing all the tasks, the teacher
will inform the learner for his/her progress.

 What’s New

Description Symbol Meaning

Connects components and passes
Conductor or Wire current easily from one part of a circuit
to another.
A 'blob' should be drawn where wires
Wires Joined are connected (joined), but it is
sometimes omitted. Wires connected at
'crossroads' should be staggered
slightly to form two T-junctions, as
shown on the right.
In complex diagrams it is often
Wires not joined necessary to draw wires crossing even
though they are not connected. The
simple crossing on the left is correct
but may be misread as a join where the
'blob' has been forgotten.
Supplies electrical energy. A battery is
Cell / Battery more than one cell. The larger line is
positive (+). The smaller is negative ( - ).
A connection to earth. For some
Earth (Ground) electronic circuits this symbol is used
for the 0V (zero volts) of the power
supply, but for mains electricity and
some radio circuits it really means the
earth. It is also known as ground.
A transducer which converts electrical
energy to light. This symbol is used for
Lamp (Indicator) a lamp which is an indicator, for
example a warning light on a car
dashboard.

A transducer which converts electrical

Motor energy to kinetic energy (motion).

Allows current to flow only when the

Switch button is pressed.

A transducer which converts electrical

Bell energy to sound.

 What is It

Common Electrical Symbols

This is not a definitive list of all symbols used in electrical identification, but
merely a guide to some of the more commonly used symbols. Due to the number of
variants used, there may have several symbols in this reference chart for the same
type of equipment - these can vary dependent upon drawing package used. It is
important to note that exact reference should always be sought from drawing
producer to avoid errors.
