How to Draw Wiring Diagrams for a Home Electrical Project
- This question has me very curious: How can you be wiring a house if you do not already have a wiring diagram?
- I ask this because the electrical layout diagram or set of blueprints are usually drawn up and should have been approved before you begin to wire a home.
- If is a school project then you may be starting with a empty home layout where you are required to add the electrical devices and circuits.
