Electrical Layout Plans

Successfully performing electrical work requires the ability to read and interpret many different
types of drawings and diagrams. Understanding circuit symbols and components is another one
of the basic building blocks needed to become an electrician.

If an electrician misinterprets a drawing or diagram when wiring a house, devices could be incorrectly installed or even missed altogether. Knowing how to properly take information from an electrical drawing or diagram and apply it to the real world is essential for electricians.
