ELECTRICAL DRAWING CONCEPTS
In electrical installation designs and construction work, two types of
electrical drawings are used to represent the design concepts, viz
I. The schematic drawing (or wiring diagram)
II. The layout diagram (also known as shop drawing or construction
drawing)
 Specifications of electrical materials and equipments to be used in the
construction are also included as part of the drawings or on separate
sheet/s.
 For example: MDB/SDB enclosure, cable conductor cross-sectional
area, number of cores, circuit breaker rating and type, lighting
luminary type and quantity, etc are included in the drawing.
1. Electrical schematic diagrams
• The schematic diagrams, also called wiring diagram, indicates the
single line diagram of the electrical circuit mains.
• For this purpose standard electrical symbols are used for socket
outlets, luminaries, lines, appliances etc.
• List of symbols from EBCS, IEC, NEC, DIN etc

• Some rules of schematic diagrams:

• SDB scheduling and associated feeders & CBs
• MDB scheduling and associated feeders & CBs
• Bill and specs of luminaries
• Earthing and lightening arrestor designs
• Riser diagram of feeders, CBs, SDBs, MDB and trafo
• Site plan
• Title block (designer, approver, drawing unit & scale, etc)

2. The layout diagram/shop drawing
The electrical layout diagram (also known as shop
drawing or construction drawing) indicates on each floor
plan of the bldg
 the actual route, number, length, and diameter of
conduits in each floor slab and in wall (and/or in
raceways on walls/ceilings) of the building determined
on the basis of the number and size of cables they carry
 the position, number and sizes of the junction boxes,
concrete ducts, outlets and appliance positions in each
floor slab and walls (and/or on walls/ceilings) of the
building
2. The layout diagram/shop drawing . . .
 The number, type, size and colour of
cables/conductors to be run in each conduit/raceway
and connected in each junction box
 The position of SDBs, MDB and service entrance
 The position of, if any, transformer, backup power
system, switching system etc in a house/control room
 The position of earth and lightening protection
