Introduction

Electricians are often required to install or repair electrical systems. This will usually involve accessing and interpreting information from a range of sources including drawings, diagrams, schedules and manuals.

The information you may be required to access includes:

• what electrical components and outlets are required
• where the components and outlets are to be located
• how the circuits are to be connected.

Work through the topics to learn and gain experience in the use of drawings, diagrams, schedules and manuals. Start by choosing a topic from the left side menu.
