  2. Wiring diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiring_diagram

    An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...

  3. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  4. Electronic symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol

    Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...

    Shown here will be fastened to this recessed, non-metallic box, then a cover plate is installed. This "double gang" (two unit) installation uses non-metallic-sheathed cable and twist-on wire connectors. In electrical wiring, a light switch is a switch most commonly used to operate electric lights, permanently connected equipment, or electrical ...

  6. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

    Electrical panels, cables and firestops in an electrical service room at a paper mill in Ontario, Canada. Electrical panels are easily accessible junction boxes used to reroute and switch electrical services. The term is often used to refer to circuit breaker panels or fuseboxes. Local codes can specify physical clearance around the panels.

  7. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

    In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location.A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.

  8. Transfer switch - Wikipedia
