The document discusses what an electrical plan is and how to draft one. An electrical plan is a type of technical drawing that shows the layout of an electrical system using symbols and lines. It details the positioning of all electrical equipment and components, including wiring, connections, fixtures, appliances, and power sources. When drafting an electrical plan, one should first know the room layout, plan wiring in advance before construction, and use the interior layout as a starting point to place switches, outlets, and appliances strategically.

2. • A plan is drawn at a
specific scale, and
it is a diagram or
listings of several
steps. It shows all
the details of
resources and timings
to accomplish an
objective. So, what
is an electrical
plan? Let's discuss
this briefly with its
purpose and a bunch
of examples. If it is

• The electrical plan is sometimes called as electrical
drawing or wiring diagram. It is a type of technical
drawing that delivers visual representation and
describes circuits and electrical systems. It consists
of electrical symbols and lines that showcase the
engineer's electrical design to its clients. In short, an
electrical plan describes the position of all the
electrical apparatus.

• Interconnection of electrical wires and other parts of the system
• Connection of different components and fixtures to the system
• Power lines with details such as size, voltage, rating, and capacity
• Power transformers and also their winding connections
• The main switches, tiebreaker, and fused switches
• Other essential equipment such as solar panels, batteries, generators, air conditioning,
and so on.

• An excellent electric plan significantly adds aesthetics
and comfort in a building. Your drawing must include
types of fixtures, locations, cables, switches, and
hardwired appliances. However, an electrical plan may
look scary and complicated, but they are not. These
are pointers you should remember while drafting an
electric plan.

• Either use a software or a
graph paper and make a
scale drawing of the
different rooms. Make sure
to include features such as
cabinets, counters, stoves,
beds, and other various
symbols.

•After finalizing your layout,
focus on your electrical
plan. The wirings go through
the ceilings, walls, and
floor before they are
plastered, laid out, and

• Around your exits and entries, place your fan, AC switches, and light. Now, place
your electrical outlets near the counters and tables. Then, decide where to put
your big appliances like TV, computer, washing machine, printer, etc.
• When making an electrical plan, ask yourself some questions:
• Do I place switches at a convenient location?
• Is the electrical load on all the circuit alright?
• Do I place enough easy-to-reach receptacles?
