Electrical and Plumbing Drawing

The document discusses electrical and plumbing drawings. Electrical drawings show electrical systems and circuits through visual representations to help electricians install or repair systems. They include site plans, floor plans, wiring diagrams, and schedules. Electrical drawings also provide details on wire interconnections, component connections, incoming power, and equipment. Plumbing drawings include piping layouts, fixture schedules, piping sizes, and diagrams of water and vent lines to instruct plumbers on installation.

Electrical Drawings

• Electrical drawings, sometimes referred to as wiring diagrams, are a type of technical drawing that
provide visual representation describing electrical systems or circuits. They are used to explain
the design to electricians or other workers who will use them to help install or repair electrical systems.

A set of electrical drawings on a project might include:


•A site plan which shows the location of the building and any external wiring.
•Floor plans which show the positions of electrical systems on each floor.
•Wiring diagrams which show the physical connections and layout of electrical circuits.
•Schedules and other information.
• Electrical drawings for buildings tend to
include the following details:​
• How the electrical wires and other parts
of the system are interconnected and
switched.​
• Where fixtures and
other components connect to the system.​
• Incoming power lines and their voltage,
size, capacity and rating.​
• Power transformers and their
winding connection and means of
grounding.​
• The main switches, fused switches and
tie breakers.​
• Equipment such as batteries, air
conditioning, solar panels, generators, and
so on, including their voltage and size.
• Distribution of Electricity

• The Electricity Board / Department provides the electric supply up to the outside the consumer’s
premises (either residential, commercial or industrial). The consumer has to take the connection from
that point to the main distribution board / switchboard at home.
• From the main switchboard / distribution board, various types of electrical loads such as fans, lights,
room coolers, and refrigerators are connected through respective circuits and electrical wiring.

Some common factors to be considered while choosing a particular Electrical Wiring System are:

•Cost of the Wiring System


•Type of Wires / Cables used
•Quality of the Wires
•Type of load (light, HVAC, motors etc.)
•Safety of the Wiring System
•Possibility of future modifications / extensions
•Life of installation
•Construction of the building (wooden, concrete, brick and mortar, etc.)
•Fire safety
• * New houses will show the
water service location and pipe
size on the site /grading plan.

• * Renovations and additions


to existing dwellings may
continue to use the existing
water service.

• * All projects will show


plumbing fixture layouts as
part of the architectural plans.
Plumbing
Drawings
• The following are typically included in a set of plumbing
drawings
• A plan with lines and symbols representing all piping
• Symbol legend, general notes, and specific key notes
• Fixture schedule, specifying the manufacturer and model
for each item
• The sizes for all piping, cold/hot water, sanitary, vent lines,
etc.
• Diagrams, such as water riser and sanitary stack
• Information regarding the water heater
