Our 6-Hour Live Online How to Read Electrical Schematics course provides comprehensive training on understanding and interpreting essential documentation such as electrical drawings, blueprints and schematics used in industrial, commercial, and institutional settings. This course covers three critical types of documents: drawings, which offer general visual representations of power systems; electrical blueprints, which focus on the physical layout and installation of components in facilities; and electrical schematics, which use symbols to depict the functional operation of circuits.
Participants will learn how to navigate and interpret each type of document, from architectural electrical blueprints to complex schematics and single-line diagrams. The course will also cover troubleshooting techniques, the use of symbols, and understanding common components. Attendees will leave equipped to make revisions and markups, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in both the design and implementation phases of power systems.
DRAWINGS, BLUEPRINTS, AND SCHEMATICS
- Electrical Drawings: A broad term that refers to any diagram or visual representation of a system. It can include blueprints, schematics, and other types of diagrams that represent the physical layout, function, or wiring of a system.
- Electrical Blueprints: Focus on the physical layout of components within a building or facility, showing the locations of outlets, switches, and wiring. These are primarily used in the construction and installation phases.
- Electrical Schematics: Provide a functional representation of an electrical circuit, using symbols to depict components and connection points. Schematics show how a system operates but do not focus on physical layout or scale.
