 3. Riser diagram. It is a single line diagram arrangement of the complete electrical circuit from the 4
service entrance up to the smallest circuit branch. It shows the following:
 Type of service whether single phase, 2-wire, or 3-wire
 Size of service entrance conductor and the type of conduit used
6. Location map. This shows the following details:
 Type and size of wire for each branch
 Bordering areas showing well-known streets
 Size of protective device for main circuit breaker and each branch
 Location of the utility company pole which supplies electric energy

7. Circuiting guidelines. The Philippine Electrical Code requirements for circuiting are as follows:
a. The code requires sufficient circuitry to supply residential load of 30 watts per square meter.
b. The requirement for 20-A circuit (2400 W) is 30 W/m2 up to 80 m2 and 60 m2 for 15-A circuit
(1800 W).
c. The code requires a minimum of 20 A for appliance branch to feed all small appliances outlet in
the kitchen, dining and living room.

Lesson 2

Electrical Wiring Diagram. It is a sketch of a lighting circuit or a combination of lighting and power
circuits using electrical symbols. This diagram does not indicate the actual position of electrical fixtures
but it point out the real wiring connections. This diagram can be a simple circuit or a complicated one.
The following are examples of electrical wiring diagrams and their corresponding interpretations:
