Lesson 2 EIM: COMMON ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS

Working electrical installations and maintenance one must have the knowledge
relative to electrical tools and material such as the wires, cables and its application
and classification. Understanding different electrical symbols are important in
drawing plans and designs flexible. “Safety First” should be observe. Application of
electrical symbols will provide a clear guide for work implementation as
prescribed by the National Electrical Code/ Philippine Electrical Code Standards.

Let’s Elaborate

COMMON ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS

Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent


various electrical devices in 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 ha s 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.
ELECTRICAL SIGNS

Your power tool with its manual may contain “WARNING ICONS” (a picture
symbol 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.
