Electrical Schematics and Control Circuits

Introduction:

This course on Electrical Schematics and Control Circuits commences with presenting fundamental drawings and symbols that assist in representing the appliances vital in the electrical installation process to facilitate smooth functioning and reliability. Any electrical system cannot be installed, operated, or repaired without the use of such critical documents, along with the ladder diagrams concept known as electrical drawings.

Wiring graphic symbols, drawing circuits, and graphics involving wiring are instruments that nourish the components of electrical installation equipment workability. This program has been made available to all the participants of the course who are going to tackle the reading of electrical blueprints and the tracing of circuits.

The students will be oriented towards enrichment in the industry standards and practices, knowing the flow of power, as well as the types of installed equipment. Frank diagrams and ladder diagrams will be used in support of the discussed components system wiring diagrams in electrical systems. Wiring diagrams may also be evident to warrant a stepwise understanding of troubleshooting skills.
