WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM?

 is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit.

shows the actual electrical connections
are used for the design (circuit design), construction,
and maintenance of electrical and electronic
equipment.
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF ELECTRIC CIRCUIT?

1. Schematic Diagram
2. Single Line Diagram
3. Pictorial Diagram
4. Ladder Diagram
5. Wiring Diagram
WHAT IS SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM?
Is the representation of a power system using the simple
symbol for each component.
The electrical distribution system is usually depicted by a
graphic representation called a single line diagram (SLD).
can show all or part of a system.
WHAT IS SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM?
• single line diagram of a power system is the network
which shows the main connections and arrangement of the
system components along with their data (such as output
rating, voltage, resistance and reactance, etc.).
• very versatile and comprehensive because it can depict a
very complicated three-phase system.
WHAT IS A PICTORIAL DIAGRAM?

• simplest of all diagrams

• a diagram that represents the elements of a system using abstract, graphic
drawings or realistic pictures.
• identifies components, even if you are not familiar with their appearance.
• does not show physical locations of components or the manner in which the
wiring is marked or routed, though it shows you the sequence in which the
components are connected.
WHAT IS A LADDER DIAGRAM?

• are specialized schematics commonly used to document industrial control logic

systems.
• called “ladder” diagrams because they resemble a ladder, with two vertical
rails (supply power) and as many “rungs” (horizontal lines) as there are control
circuits to represent.
• It is mainly used for creating programs or software for Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs), used for industrial applications.
LADDER LOGIC:
• For creating and representation a program a Ladder logic programming
language is used via ladder diagrams that relies on circuit diagrams. Initially
the language evolved with being a technique for documenting the construction
and design of relay racks in producing and processing control with each relay
rack given with a symbol on the ladder diagram that is device connected
under them with vertical rails. You will find a rung in a ladder look alike
called as relay symbols.
WHAT IS A WIRING DIAGRAM?
• is a simple visual representation of the physical connections and layout of
an electrical system or circuit.
• shows how the electrical wires are interconnected and show where fixtures
and components may be connected to the system.
• shows more detail of the physical appearance, whereas a wiring diagram
uses a more symbolic notation to emphasize interconnections over physical
appearance.
• It is use to assist in building or manufacturing the circuit or electronic
device.
