 READING AND
INTERPRETATION PLANS

Interpreting electrical plans can be complex,

but here are some general guidelines to help:

Understand the symbols:

-Electrical plans use a variety of symbols to represent different components
and devices. Some common symbols include switches, receptacles, light
fixtures, and circuit breakers. Make sure you familiarize yourself with these
symbols and what they represent before you begin.
 Identify the circuits:
-Electrical plans typically show the layout of circuits, which are the pathways
that electricity will flow through the building. Each circuit will have a unique
color or number to help identify it. Look for the legend or key on the plan to
determine which colors or numbers correspond to which circuits.

Pay attention to wiring and conduit:

-Electrical plans will show the wiring and conduit that will be used to
connect the various components and devices. Make sure you
understand the type of wiring and conduit being used and how it is
routed throughout the building.
 Consider safety:
-Always keep safety in mind when interpreting electrical plans. Look
for safety features such as circuit breakers, grounding systems, and
emergency shut-off switches. Make sure the electrical plan complies
with local codes and regulations.

Overall, interpreting electrical plans requires attention to

detail and a good understanding of electrical systems and
components. If you are unsure about any aspect of the plan,
it is always best to consult with a licensed electrician or
engineer.
Electrical safety
basics.
 Safety and basic procedure in electrical

Electrical safety is of paramount importance as even

small electrical shocks can be fatal. To ensure
electrical safety, it's important to follow some basic
procedures when working with electrical equipment or
around electrical systems. Here are some important
electrical safety procedures to follow:
Turn off power before
starting work: Always make
sure that the power is
turned off before you
begin any work on
electrical equipment or
systems. This can be done
by switching off the circuit
breaker or unplugging the
equipment.
Wear protective gear:
Wear appropriate
protective gear such as
insulated gloves, goggles,
and boots when working
with electrical equipment.
This will protect you from
electrical shock and other
potential hazards.
Use appropriate tools:
Use only tools that are
specifically designed for
electrical work, and
ensure they are in good
condition.
Avoid water: Keep
electrical equipment and
wiring away from water,
and never work on
electrical equipment with
wet hands or in damp
environments.
Stay away from overhead power lines: Never touch
overhead power lines, and keep equipment and
materials at least 10 feet away from them.
Do not overload circuits: Make sure that circuits are not
overloaded by plugging in too many electrical devices
or appliances.
Do not touch a victim of electrical shock: If someone is experiencing
electrical shock, do not touch them directly as this may put you in
danger. Instead, turn off the power source, and then call emergency
services.
Following these basic procedures
will help prevent accidents and
keep you safe when working with
electrical equipment and
systems.
