INFORMATION 1.3
SKETCHING AN ELECTRICAL WIRING PLAN
Sketching an Electrical Wiring Plan Before starting to sketch an electrical
wiring plan, the minimum requirements for each area or room in the building should
be considered.
BEDROOM: A bedroom is a private room where people normally sleep for the night or
relax during the day. A general illumination should be provided in this area.
Convenience outlets should also be installed on each side and within 1.5 to 2 meters of
the centerline of each bed location.
128
DINING AREA: A dining area is a part of the house for consuming food. In modern
times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving. This area should
be well lighted and provided with convenience outlets.
129
KITCHEN: A kitchen is a part of a house used for cooking and food preparation. This
area should be well lighted and should be provided with convenience outlets. A special
purpose outlets should be installed for cooking range and other kitchen appliances.
130
131
GARDEN: A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display,
cultivation of plants and other forms of nature. Lighting and convenience outlets
should be provided in the area.
132
READING ELECTRICAL PLAN To read electrical plans, start with the floor
plans where you can get an idea of the layout and intent of the space. Carefully study
and understand the wiring diagrams, which show the paths that wires will take from
each piece of equipment back to the panel. Electrical components are represented by
various symbols and their corresponding meaning.
