Wiring Diagrams and Symbols for Home Electrical Wiring
Wiring Diagrams and Symbols for Electrical Wiring commonly used for Blueprints and Drawings
Not only do wiring symbols show us where something
is to be installed, but what the electrical device is that will be
installed.
When performing any electrical wiring, whether it is a
room remodel project or a new home, many things need to be identified
in order to get a full understanding.
The tables below provide access to two categories of the home electrical wiring process.
The first table will produce a listing of wiring diagrams for a typical home electrical wiring project.
The next is the main listing of electrical symbols that will provide access to a full listing of symbols along with a description of each type of symbol represented.
I am so glad I found you on internet. I would be very happy to improve my electrical course if you could add some diagrams for domestic, commercial and industrial electrical wiring.
Thanks, Sam
Dave's Reply:
Thank you Sam. The main focus of this website is residential electrical wiring, however I may add some information about commercial and industrial wiring in the future.
