ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM

The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented in a diagram. There are two types
of diagrams: pictorial diagram and schematic diagram.

A. Pictorial diagram is a sketch of electrical circuit that shows the external appearance of each
component. It is much like a photograph of the circuit and uses simple images of parts.

Sample pictorial diagram of one bulb controlled by single pole switch using 9- volt battery source.

B. Schematic diagram is a sketch showing the components of the circuit using standard electrical
symbols. It shows the actual number of components and how the wiring is routed but not the actual
location.

Sample schematic diagrams of one bulb controlled by single pole switch using direct current
(Diagram A) and alternating current (Diagram B) source

C. Types of Circuit

1. Series Circuit is a circuit in which lamps are arranged in a chain, so that the current has only one path to take.
The current is the same through each load. An example of this is Christmas light/bulbs. It consists of a number
of bulbs that are connected side by side to meet the voltage requirement which is 220 volts for alternating
current.

2. Parallel Circuit is a circuit in which lamps are connected across the wires. The voltage across each load on a
parallel circuit is the same. The advantage of using parallel circuit is that even if one of the lamps fails, the
remaining lamps will still function.

ELECTRICAL PLAN
Electrical plan is a graphical presentation of electrical wiring connections to install in a particular house or
building. It indicates the position of electrical fixtures such as convenience outlets, switches, lightings, door
bells, and others to be installed.

Sample electrical plan of single family dwelling

Number of electrical fixtures found in the electrical plan:

QUANTITY ELECTRICAL FIXTURES
8 pieces
Lamp outlets
8 pieces
Duplex convenience outlets
4 pieces Single gang switches S1
1 piece Two gang switches S2
1 piece Three gang switches S3

Learning Task 1
Directions: Based on the electrical plan below, count the number of electrical fixtures and then write it
on your answer sheet.

1. Lamp outlets = __________

2. Duplex convenience outlets = __________
3. Single gang switches = __________
4. Two gang switches = __________
5. Three gang switches = __________

Learning Task 2
Directions: Draw the schematic diagrams of the following in your answer sheets. For every
missing/incorrect electrical symbol is a deduction of 1 point from the total of 5 points per diagram.

1. Two bulbs connected in series controlled by a single pole switch using direct current.
2. Four bulbs connected in parallel controlled by a single pole switch using alternating current.
