types of electrical drawing

• BLOCK diagram represents the principle components of a complex system in form of block and lines
• BLOCK diagram emphasizes each component's function
• BLOCK diagram shows the system's process flow
• BLOCK diagrams are not used by electricians
• BLOCK diagram shows the major parts
• WIRING diagram depicts visual representation of the components and mimics their electrical connection/location/arrangement
• WIRING diagram represents components in their aprox physical location using their specific symbols
• WIRING diagram shows a pictorial view
• WIRING diagram is mostly used for wiring installation in home and industries
• SCHEMATIC diagram shows the complete electrical connections between components using their symbols and lines. Do not specify the locations
• SCHEMATIC diagram is what engineering students rely on
• PICTORIAL diagram shows only the drawing
• PICTORIAL diagram shows the visual appearance of the circuit real time
• PICTORIAL diagram cant be used to understand/troubleshoot the actual circuit
• SINGLE LINE / ONE LINE diagram is the representation of circuit using a single line
• SINGLE LINE diagram does not show the electrical connections
• SINGLE LINE is used for determining and isolating any faulty equipment in any power system during troubleshoot
• LADDER / LINE DIAGRAM is to illustrate control logic systems
• LOGIC diagram represents a logic circuit by showing complex circuits and processes using various blocks or symbols
• RISER diagram depict the actual arrangement of power distribution in a multi-story building with a single line
• RISER diagram indicates the size of conduits, wire size, circuit breaker rating, etc.
• RISER diagram's arrangement is similar to an alarm system
• RISER diagram depicts the transfer of electricity from one level to the next
• RISER diagram focuses on providing electrical power to the various appliances on each floor
• RISER diagram is what electrical professionals depend on to prevent risks
• IC LAYOUT diagram refers to the internal design of a semiconductor component
• IC LAYOUT diagram is made up of multiple layers of metal, oxide, & semiconductor materials
• IC LAYOUT diagram represents the geometry & size of different semiconductor layers & connection
• IC LAYOUT diagram describes the internal structure and are used in manufacturing and designing integrated circuits
• ELECTRICAL FLOOR PLAN is a vertical representation of various appliances
• ELECTRICAL FLOOR PLAN specifies their exact location with their size and distance from each wall & ceiling
• ELECTRICAL FLOOR PLAN shows a scaled version of each room from above
