Electrical Symbols

Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent

various electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit. These symbols
are used in sketching schematic diagrams and electrical plans for numerous types
of electrical works. Practically any electrical fixture found in a house has a symbol
that coincides to said fixture on an electrical wiring diagram. These are very useful
guide for an electrician or electrical contractor, thus, making the wiring easier to
install as well.

The following are common electrical symbols used in sketching wiring plan
and diagram.

 LESSON 5.2

Electrical Signs

The manual of a power tool may contain "WARNING ICONS" (picture

symbols intended to alert you to, and/or to instruct you how to avoid a potentially
hazardous condition). Knowing and understanding these symbols will help you
operate your tool better and more safely.

Electrical signs and stickers alert students, workers, and visitors to

electrical hazards in the area. Alerting workers to high voltage areas, electrical
hazards, power lines and other electrical equipment in the area, can help prevent
fires and injuries. Proper electrical signs can inform workers of the dangers in the
area.

Remember these safety color codes to better understand the importance of

each safety sign. So that, next time that you encounter safety sign at any place with
possible harm, you can identify whether the hazardous situations pose a threat to
your health and well-being.

 RECAP

Directions: Identify the electrical symbols present in the schematic diagram below.

LESSON 6.1

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 actual

appearance of each component. It is much like a photograph of the circuit and
uses simple images of parts.

11
 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.

Types of Circuit

An electrical circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current

source flow. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the
"source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is
called the "return" or "earth ground".

A. 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.

12
 The eight light bulbs are connected in series. If one bulb goes out, then the entire
string goes out.

B. 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.

There are also Christmas lights that are arranged in parallel circuit. Such
as this picture below.

13
 Flow of Electric Current in Circuits

Study the how the electric current flows in each circuit.

In a series circuit, current flows to each bulb in turn. When one of the bulbs
failed, the circuit will be open causing the other bulbs not to function.

While in parallel circuit, the circuit divides and flows directly to the bulbs at
the same time. When one of the bulbs failed, the electric current of the other bulbs
will continue to flow that’s why they will still function.
