Chapter 6. Electrical Drawing and Diagram >>1. Purpose
Why do we need an electric drawing?
• The drawing is the most effective way of communicating one’s ideas.
• An engineer uses a drawing to convey the ideas and plans necessary for execution
and completion of a project.
• The drawing acts as a communication tool between designers and manufacturers.
• The drawing acts as an analysis tool to help the designer identify the unknown
parameters.
• The drawing is used to clarify the requirements to complete a project.

Chapter 6. Electrical Drawing and Diagram >>3. Standards and their necessity
• Standards ensure that a drawing can be understood by anyone who uses it by

adopting a common set of symbols and terminology.
• Standards are necessary to make a drawing presentable and easy to read by

adopting proper arrangement of information.
• There are several common standard organizations:
Institution of Electronic and Electrical Engineers (IEEE)
E.g. IEEE/ANSI 315-1975 - IEEE Standard for Graphic Symbols for Electrical and
Electronics Diagrams (Including Reference Designation Letters)

National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)
E.g. NEMA Standards Publication ICS 19-2002 (R2007)

Diagrams, Device Designations, and Symbols for Industrial
Control and Systems.
Association of German Electrical Engineers (VDE)
E.g. DIN VDE 0100-520-1 VDE 0100-520-1:2019-11 Low-

voltage electrical installations - Part 5-52: Selection and
erection of electrical equipment - Wiring systems
International Standards Organisation (ISO)
E.g. ISO 14617-3:2002 Graphical symbols for diagrams.
ANSI: American National Standards Institute
E.g. ANSI/NETA ECS-2020 Standard for Electrical

Commissioning Specifications for Electrical Power Equipment
and Systems.
TCVN
E.g. Vietnamese standard TCVN 185:1974 on Electrical symbols

on premises.
JIS: Japanese Industrial Standards
E.g. JIS C 0617-2:2011 Graphical symbols for diagrams

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
E.g. NFPA 170 Standard for Fire Safety and Emergency Symbols
Joint Industrial Council (JIC)
E.g. JIC Standard Symbols for Electrical Ladder Diagrams
International electro-technical Commission (IEC)
E.g. IEC 60617-7:1996 Graphical symbols for diagrams.

In this lecture, we will adopt the IEC standards to make the electrical drawing.
Why uses IEC?
Many companies in Vietnam use the IEC standard of electrical drawings.
Most Vietnamese standards for electrical drawings are developed from the IEC
standards.

Page Layout
a)
A page is divided into:
- One or more identification c)
areas.
- One or more content areas.

b)

Module
All graphical entities shall be related to the module M as a unit.
The unit M should be defined for paper presentations or equivalent take one of the
following values in millimeters:
1,8 (2,0) mm; 2,5 mm; 3,5 mm; 5 mm; 7 mm; 10 mm; 14 mm; 20 mm.

Title Block (IEC 82045-2)
• The title block is the border and text of the drawing located at the bottom of or lower
right-hand corner of the sheet.
• Title block commonly represents the information such as: Project name, company
name, company logo, date, job title, title of drawing, sheet number, creator,
approvals, revision, and page scale.

Title Block (IEC 82045-2)
Example of the arrangement of information in a title block on a page of the size A3.

Reference grid
• It is quite difficult to find a point or system in large and complex drawing.
• This is especially true when one wire is continued on a second drawing.
• The grid system consist of letters, numbers, or both that run horizontally and vertically
around the drawing.
• The rows of the grid shall be identified by capital Latin letters A, B, C, … excluding I
and O.
• The columns of the grid shall be sequentially numbered starting from 0 or 1

Reference grid
The content areas should have a

reference grid of 16M or 20M
For example, if M is chosen to 2,5 mm, the
reference grid will be 40 mm or 50 mm.

• When a wire is continued from one drawing to another, it is shown not only on the
first drawing but also on the second drawing.
This wire is continued from page 2 to page 3.

Line Width
𝑛
The possible line widths are: 0.1 ∗ 2 ∗ 𝑀, with n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
Note: For example, if M is chosen to 2,5 mm the line width would be 0,25 mm, 0,35
mm, etc.
Text Font
Both tabular and proportional lettering according to ISO 3098-5 may be used.
Text Height
𝑛
The text height shall comply to: 2 ∗ 𝑀, with n = 0, 1, 2, 3,...
Note: For example if M is chosen to 2,5 mm, the text height would be 2,5 mm, 3,5 mm,
etc.

Text orientation
A text within a document shall be readable when viewing a document from the
bottom edge or from the right-hand edge

Chapter 6. Electrical Drawing and Diagram >>6. Conventions
Connection and Junction
If a connection is shown by using a connecting line, the connecting line shall be in
accordance with symbol S00001 in IEC 60617.
When two or more connecting lines are joined at a specific point, the junction shall be
in accordance with symbols S00019, S00020, S01414 or S01415 in IEC 60617.
The symbol S01414 indicates that there are two physical electrical connections being
presented by one connecting line.
The symbol S01415 is used for graphical bundling indicating the direction of the bundle
that enters.
Representation
• Avoid crossed lines. • Use source-destination arrow

• Make the drawing clear.

Representation
• Avoid crossed lines. • Separate the power circuit and the control circuit.
• Make the drawing clear. • Make the drawing in a structure.

Representation
• Avoid crossed lines.

Flag label
Flag labels are folded around the wire with the ends of the label stuck together to form
a "flag“ which can be easy to recognize among dozens of others.
Usually, flag labels can only make for one important wire.

Wire wraps
Wire wraps provide the approach for permanent cable marking.
Wire wrap consists a top part of the printed material and a transparent tail.
The transparent tail goes around the wire completely and overlap the top part.
Transparent tail
