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.
 Department of Education Roxas National High School

1. 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.

2. 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.

TYPES OF CIRCUIT
 Department of Education Roxas National High School

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 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 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
 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.
