INTERPRET TECHNICAL

DRAWINGS AND PLANS

LO 1 Necessary tools, materials and equipment
are identified according to the plan.
LO 2 Components, assemblies or object are
recognized as per job requirement.
LO 3 Dimensions and specification are identified
according to job requirements.
ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM

→The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be

represented by diagram.
→There are two types of diagram: 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.
→ 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.
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.
→ Example of this is the Christmas lights. It
consists of several bulbs that are connected
side by side to meet the voltage requirement
which is 220 volts for alternating current.
C. Types of Circuit
→ 2. Parallel Circuit is a circuit in which lamps are
connected across the wires. The voltage across
each load on parallel circuit is the same. The
advantage of using parallel circuit is that even if
one of the lamps fails, still the remaining lamps will
function.
ELECTRICAL PLAN
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, doorbells, and others
to be installed.
SHORT QUIZ

→ Directions: Draw the schematic diagram of the following:

→ 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.
