Electrical Symbols

Lighting Outlet
 Junction Box - One or more wiring connections are housed in an electrical enclosure
called a junction box. The box guards against environmental factors and unintentional
contact for the connections, which typically have weak points like wire splices.
 Fluorescent fixture- a fluorescent lamp-powered lighting fixture.
 Recessed exit lamp- - an illuminated sign that designates an exit from a building from
which a person may depart.
 Incandescent fixture- creates light when a tungsten filament wire is heated to the point
where it glows or incandesces.

Receptacle outlet
 Double receptacle outlet- gives you room to plug in two devices because it has two
electrical receptacles. The design of a duplex outlet, one of the outlets most frequently
found in homes and businesses, will shield you from risks of electrical shock.
 Fan hanger- taking part in autoerotic asphyxiation by mounting someone who is already
hanging from a ceiling fan.
 Range outlet- is a specific kind of high power electrical outlet set up for an electric range
or oven.
 Airconditioner outlet- These outlets are typically very different from the "usual,"
conventional outlets, and they are used to connect your air conditioner to the power
source. Since the air conditioner requires a higher (or lower) current than usual, they
typically have different current ratings.

Switch outlet
 Single pole- refers to how many different circuits the switch is capable of controlling. A
double pole switch can control two circuits, whereas single pole switches only control
one. To control two single pole switches, a double pole switch functions almost exactly
like one single pole switch.
 3-way switch- a three-terminal electric switch used to control a circuit from two
different locations
 Door switch- when no external forces are exerting any force on it, the door switch is
closed. When this application is being used, the switch is open when the door is closed
and closed when the door is opened, turning on the controller and turning on the light.
 Circuit breaker switch- is a type of electrical switch used to prevent short circuits,
overloads, and overcurrents from damaging electrical circuits.
Signaling system outlet residential occupancies
 Push button- pushing a button to activate an electrical device.
 Buzzer- any listed bell, buzzer, visual, or audible device that emits a fire alarm signal is
referred to as a "alarm indicating device."
 Annuciator- is any listed equipment that provides information regarding the location of
an alarm actuating device, the operation state of the alarm circuits, or the system, as
well as the zone or area of the building from which an alarm has been initiated.
 Bell- any of the aforementioned bells, buzzers, visual, or audible devices that emits a fire
alarm signal is referred to as a "alarm indicating device."
 Television outlet- is the broadcasting channel that disseminates news, information, and
feature stories to the public via print media, magazines, online communities, social
media, television, and radio.

Graphic Symbols
 Electric motor- in contrast to an electric generator, an electric motor is a device that
transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy.
 Electric generator- a device known as a "electric generator" produces electrical energy
from mechanical energy that has been obtained from an external source.
 Power Transformer- electrical devices called "power transformers" are used to transmit
electrical power from one circuit to another without changing the frequency. They
function according to the electromagnetic induction theory. They are employed in the
electrical power transmission process between primary distribution circuits and
generators.
 Electric watchout meter- electric watchout meters: Only a qualified electrician should
remove an electric meter or open the meter base. A defined amount of energy
(kWh/Wh) passing through the meter corresponds to a pulse output.
 Circuit breaker- Circuit breakers are automatic devices that, as a safety measure,
interrupt the flow of current in an electric circuit.
 Ground- by transferring electrical charges from a short circuit between this object and a
larger object, the process of "grounding" removes extra charge from an object. The
phrase "grounded" originates from this.
Panel Circuit
 Lighting panel- electrical cabinets known as lighting panels are used to manage the
electric lighting systems in every space. Switches and controls are present on this
device. specialized in operating street lighting systems, lighting in public spaces, and
lighting in supermarkets.
 Power panel- you can change the items you see in your current view in Pipeliner's
"power panel."
 Wiring concealed in floor- wiring that is hidden in the floor is done inside the walls or
floors and is further hidden by plastering the wall. In other words, secret concealed
conduit wiring refers to the use of electrical or plastic wiring inside of a wall, ceiling, or
floor with metallic or plastic piping.
 Feeders- are the circuit conductors that connect the final branch-circuit overcurrent
device to the service equipment, the source of a separately derived system, or another
power source.
 Pullbox- is a metal box with a blank cover that is installed in a run of conduit in a
convenient location to make it easier to pull in wires or cables.
 Home run to panel board- the electrical cable that distributes power from the main
circuit breaker panel to the circuit's initial electrical box, plug, or switch is known as the
"home run to panel board."

Bus Duct and Wire Ways


 Trolley duct- is a transport feeder system that was created with the wiring of the
electrical equipment used when transporting items like an electric hoist, a mobile crane,
an automated warehouse system, and a conveyor.
 Wireway- are used to hide electrical wires within a structure while still making them
permanently accessible.
 Cable through ladder or channel- for supporting high volume or heavy cabling,
especially when there are long spans between supports, cable ladders are preferred
over channels.

Underground Electrical Distribution or Lighting


 Manhole- an underground installation manhole is being unloaded from a transport
truck. Describes how underground electric transmission lines work instead of being
installed on poles or towers overhead.
 Handle- transferring electrical energy from one electric substation to another electric
substation is part of the process of handling distribution of electricity.
 Transformer pad- the term "transformer pad" typically refers to a particular design of
enclosure for larger transformers that can be installed in public areas.
 Underground duct line- the term "underground duct line" describes the protective
pipework through which underground utility cables and pipes that supply power, water,
and other services to buildings are run.

Arial Electrical Distribution or Lighting System


 Pole- is a long, slender, rounded piece of wood or metal that is typically used as a
support for something, with one end buried in the ground.
 Transformer- an apparatus for changing the voltage of an alternating current is a
transformer.
 Primary circuit- the input portion of an isolated power supply that is connected to the
AC mains is referred to as the "primary circuit."
 Secondary circuit- are those that receive power from a transformer's output windings
even though the input windings are electrically isolated from them. An electrical device
known as a transformer can be used to step up or down the input ac voltage signal.
