Electrical Drawings
1. Introduction
This section contains the electrical drawings for the practical installations completed in Module 1.
The drawings illustrate the layout, routing, and connections for Conduit Systems, Trunking Systems, and PVC Sheathed Cable Systems. They serve as evidence of planning, understanding of wiring circuits, and compliance with electrical standards.
2. Purpose of the Drawings
To provide a visual representation of the wiring systems installed.
To show the correct routing of cables, trunking, or conduit.
To indicate the positions of switches, sockets, lights, junction boxes, and distribution boards.
To demonstrate understanding of electrical principles and installation standards.
To assist in testing, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
3. Types of Drawings Included
A. Layout Drawings
Floor plans indicating routes for cables, trunking, and conduits
Positioning of accessories such as switches, sockets, and light fittings
Junction boxes and termination points
B. Schematic / Single-Line Diagrams
Representation of the electrical circuit connections
Shows the relationship between live (L), neutral (N), and earth (E) conductors
Indicates connections between switches, sockets, lights, and the distribution board
C. Installation / Step-by-Step Diagrams
Visual illustrations of conduit bends, trunking connections, and cable routes
Labels materials, tools, and correct fixing methods
Demonstrates neat and safe installation practices
4. Evidence Provided
The following documents are included as part of this portfolio:
