Wiring Diagrams
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Electrical Technology Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)

Module on Wiring Diagrams.

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the
teacher or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore,
this also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the
module.

developing this module.

The following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any
part of the module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the
exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other
activities included in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your
answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through
with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do
not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind
that you are not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning
and gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

Wiring Diagrams

A wiring diagram is a visual representation of components and wires related

to an electrical connection. This pictorial diagram shows us the physical
links that are far easy to understand an electrical circuit or system.
One wiring diagram can signify all the interconnections, thereby signaling
the relative locations. The use of a wiring diagram is positively recognizable
in manufacturing or electrical troubleshooting projects. It can prevent lots of
damage that even derail an electrical plan.
Why do we use wiring diagrams?
Wiring diagrams are highly in use in circuit manufacturing or other
electronic devices projects. The layout facilitates communication between
electrical engineers designing electrical circuits and implementing them. The
pictures are also helpful in making repairs. It shows whether the installation
has been appropriately designed and implemented while confirming the
safety regulators.
A wiring diagram can also be useful in auto repair and home building
projects. For example, the proper location of light fixtures and electrical
outlets can be easily by a home builder to avoid costly defaults or building
any code violations.
Benefits of Wiring Diagrams:
Drawing a wiring diagram offers several advantages, as given below:
 The diagram is easy to share even electronically.
 The process of creating a diagram is fast and allows for conventional
construction.
 Access to hundreds and thousands of wiring symbols makes the
diagram more efficient to be understood.
 The diagram is simple to edit as per the different conditions.
 The proper tool provides precise placement of symbols, which is an
impossible task to be done by hand or other means.

Type of wiring diagram

A. Schematic Diagram
Schematic diagrams show the circuit flow with its impression rather
than a genuine representation. They only provide general information
and cannot be used to repair or examine a circuit. The functions of
different equipment used within the circuit get presented with the

4
 help of a schematic diagram whose symbols generally include vertical
and horizontal lines. However, these lines are known to show the flow
of the system rather than its wires.

B. Pictorial Diagram
It is the least efficient diagram among the electrical wiring diagram.
They are often photos attached with highly-detailed drawings or labels
of the physical components. A pictorial doesn’t even make an effort to
be shown clearly or effectively. A person with a strong knowledge of
electrical wiring diagrams can only understand a pictorial.

5
C. Line Diagram
It is a presentation of electrical connections of wiring devices using single
line and with slashes indicating the number of the conductors in a line.

D. Actual Connection Diagram

It is a sketch of the actual connections of the electrical devices in a circuit
or wiring installations. Like a schematic diagram it is also uses electrical
symbols but this is more detailed because it shows the wiring terminations
and connections.
