You will notice that the circuit home run symbol is pointing towards the power panel,
to represent that these circuits are connected to this power panel and each circuit is
individually protected by a circuit protection device.
. Circuit 1 is composed of two fluorescent lamps and four incandescent lamps. This
means that circuit 1 interconnects these lamps up to the power panel board.
The fluorescent lamp in the kitchen is controlled by two three-way switches in two
different locations.
These lighting outlets are individually controlled by one-ganged switch. You will
notice that the switches are located near the door for convenient access.
Every small appliance load circuit in this plan is composed of four duplex
convenience outlets interconnected with each other and guarded by a pair of circuit
protection.
The power panel, KWHr meter service entrance is also included in the electrical plan
to show their actual locations.
This is one-line diagram of this plan. It
indicates single line diagram of lighting and
receptacles panel boards showing mains and
branch circuit rating; size of conductors for
feeders, rated voltage and current of each
circuit.
This is the schedule of load of this plan. It shows the description of each circuit,
current, voltage, size and type of wire, circuit breaker and conduit.
10. How many circuits are there in this power circuit layout?
11. How many duplex convenience outlets are there in CIRCUIT 9?
12. How many duplex convenience outlets are there in OFFICE 1?
13. How many duplex convenience outlets are there in the pathway?
14. How many duplex convenience outlets are there in OFFICE 2?

3. The lamp, the switch and the electrical supply are interconnected in a junction
box.
6. This is the schematic wiring diagram of the above wiring diagram. It is also
shown with the switch in ON and OFF position.
3. To be able to switch this lamp ON and OFF from each point of entry to the
room, two three-way switches are used in this room.
S3W
5. Toggling the three-way switch on the left will lit the lamp.
6. Turning OFF the switch on the right will turn the lamp OFF.
10. The lamps may be connected the other way as shown, depending on the
situation. In this situation additional jnction boxes are provided.
2. To be able to switch this lamp ON and OFF from each point of entry to the room,
two three-way and one four-way switches are used this room. The symbols for
four-way switch are shown on the figure, (three-way switch were already
discussed in the previous information sheet)
S4W
4. Toggling the two-way switch on the left will lit the lamp.
6. This is the schematic diagram of the above wiring diagram. It is also shown with
the switches in their different operating positions.
7. Pressing the three-way switch to the left changes the state of lamp from OFF to
ON.
10. Pressing again the left two-way switch turns OFF the lamp.
11. Just add another intermediate switch between two-way switches to control the
lamp in four or more locations as shown in the figure.

8. . Circuit 1 is composed of two fluorescent lamps and four incandescent lamps.
This means that circuit 1 interconnects these lamps up to the power panel board.
10. These two incandescent lamps and 1 fluorescent lamp are controlled by 3-
ganged switch. This means each lamp is controlled by a single pole switches in
one switch plate.
12. These two lamps are controlled by two-ganged switch. This means that each
lamp is controlled individually by a single pole switches in one switch plate.
14. This is the power layout of the same electrical plan. There are six circuits in this
power layout. Three circuits for small appliance load or sometimes called
convenience outlets and four special purpose outlet.
19. This is the schedule of load of this plan. It shows the description of each circuit,
current, voltage, size and type of wire, circuit breaker and conduit.
Explain the difference among installation layout diagram, schematic diagram and
Wiring diagram.
