Draft electrical plans

Electrical diagrams and symbols
INTRODUCTION

 The use of graphic symbols on electrical and electronic

diagrams to show the components and workings in a
circuit is very important. Graphic symbols are shorthand
ways of showing how a circuit works or how the parts of
the circuit are connected. Electrical symbols are used to
represent actual electrical components on drawings.
Graphic symbols are usually drawn on single-line (one-
line) diagrams, on schematic diagrams, or on connection
or wiring diagrams. By marking the symbols, you can
relate with parts, list, descriptions, or instructions of
electrical plans and layouts.
