Electrical Installation Drawings
Islam Al-Jarrah
 state
the purpose of electrical installation
drawings.
 differentiate
between installation/wiring
diagrams and circuit/schematic diagrams
 identify
the symbols and terminology used in
installation and schematic diagrams.
 implement
electrical installation drawings.

The ability to read and
understand schematics
and drawings is an
absolute must.

Electrical installation
drawings provide an
electrician with the
technical information
needed to install the
wiring system in
apartments or
buildings.

Lab Activity 1 –Page 11 – Module 3
Schematic diagrams show
the electrical systems, and
are used for understanding
the electrical functions of a
wiring system.
The schematic is a
representation of how the
circuit works.
the schematic shows the
logical order of how they are
used together.

In the schematic diagram each
individual connection line is
shown and more detailed
graphical symbols are used to
indicate the electrical details
of a wiring.
