Introduction
Electrical Signs and Symbols
Electrical signs are warning icon in a pictures symbol. It helps to identify the hazard and how to avoid it. It also indicatea the precautionary measures against potential hazarduous situation which if not avoide it brings minor or mild injuries to a person ( Anticuando 2017 )
Electrical symbols represents the electrical devices in a diagram or plan(Anticuando 2017 ). Electrical symbols may use in electrical diagrams and plan to indicate the location or the position of a particular device. It is the guide to understand the whole plan and to estimate the needed quantity of devices.
Task
At the end of this lesson, you are able to interpret and analyze electrical signs and symbols wherein you may use it in creating electrical diagram. To obtain this objective, you should know the electrical materials and devices might be use.
Process
ELECTRICAL SIGNS
Electrical signs and stickers alert students, workers, and visitors to electrical hazards in the area. Alerting workers to high voltage areas, electrical hazards, power lines and other electrical equipment in the area, can help prevent fires and injuries. Proper electrical signs can inform workers of the dangers in the area.
ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent various electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit. These symbols are used in sketching schematic diagrams and electrical plans for numerous types of electrical works. Practically any electrical fixture found in a house has a symbol that coincides to said fixture on an electrical wiring diagram. These are very useful guide for an electrician or electrical contractor, thus, making the wiring easier to install as well.
Evaluation
Aswer the following.
Task 1
1. What is the importance of knowing electrical signs?
2. Why yoy need to know the electrical signs?
3. Give atleast 3 that should have safety signs/ electrical signs.
Task 2
1. Why you need to know the electrical symbols?
2. What is the importance of electrical symbols in creating electrical diagrams and plans?
3. Give atleast 5 electrical symbols.
Conclusion
Electrical Signs and Symbols
Electrical signs indicated the they have hazards around. It helps to avoid the possible injuries may cause by danger place. It also helps to reduce the accidents in specific area or workplace. Meanwhile, electrical symbols are so important is reading electrical diagrams and plans. It represents the actual devices may use in a houses or buildings. Electrical symbols may saw in electrical diagrams specifically in schematic diagrams.
