ELECTRICAL PLAN

WHAT IS AN ELECTRICAL
PLAN?
An electrical plan is
a visual representation of
the physical connections
and physical layout of an
electrical system or circuit.
It shows how the electrical
wires are interconnected
and can also show where
fixtures and components
may be connected to the
system.
 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ELECTRICAL PLAN
AND ELECTRICAL LAYOUT?
 ELECTRICAL PLAN

Shows the
entire
electrical
connections
ELECTRICAL
LAYOUT

Shows only a single

electrical room or
panels within the
room.
MASTER ELECTRICIAN
-often work for local
governments or own
their own company
-responsible for wired
installations and
connections, as well as
specific reparations
ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
-typically work for an
engineering firm or
other company
-handle all the
equipment&ap
os;s, systems and units
that transfer, stock and
distribute the actual
electricity
GENERAL
NOTES/SPECIFICATION
1. The electrical installation shown on the plans
shall conform with the latest edition of the PEC, rules
and regulations of the local electric company and the
local government where the project will be
constructed.
2. All electric materials and equipment to be
used in this project shall be brand new and approved
quality and brand .
 PERMITS AND INSPECTION
CERTIFICATES
A permit is required before undertaking
any electrical installation. An inspection is also
required after which certificate of electrical
inspection (CEI) is issued by the authority
HOW TO • The application forms for a Electrical Wiring Permit must
be properly accomplished, signed and dry-sealed by the
APPLY FOR professional electrical engineer or master electrician who
AN prepared the plans showing the location of the project, its
ELECTRICAL lighting and power layouts, single line diagram, load

materials quality and electrical work standards for
the safe use of electricity for light, heat, power,
communications, signaling and for other purposes.
• b) Adequacy - Strict compliance with the provisions
of this Code will ensure safety in electrical
installation and construction, but not necessarily
efficient, convenient, or adequate for good service
or future expansion of electrical use.
