    Electrical Symbols Standard Electrical Symbols For Electrical Schematic Diagrams

    Edraw Max includes one set of the standard electrical symbols, which are smart, industrial standard and vector-based for electrical schematic diagrams. Most of electrical symbols can change their appearance, style and color according to the requirement. Electrical symbols are used to represent various electrical and electronic devices in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. The following table lists some basic electrical symbols in our electrical drawing software. Name Electrical Symbol Alternate Symbol Function Description A connection to earth. Used for zero potential reference and electrical shock protection. Equipotentiality is a symbol to identify parts that have the same voltage (ie same electrical potential ie equipotential). Since equipotential surfaces all have the same voltage, you won't get shocked if you touch two such surfaces (unless

    ground

    equipotentiality

    of course you are also touching some OTHER part that has a different potential from the first two). Connected to the chassis of the circuit. Supplies electrical energy. A battery is more than one cell. Generates constant voltage. Represents a battery in an equipment package. A resistor restricts the flow of current, for example to limit the current passing through an LED. A resistor is used with a capacitor in a timing circuit. A box with input and control logic on one side, and output on the other.

    resister

    attenuator

    capacitor

    A capacitor stores electric charge. A capacitor is used with a resistor in a timing circuit. It can also be used as a filter, to block DC signals but pass AC signals. Accumulators are designed to increase or relieve pressure in the system. A antenna is a radio antenna that can be made of a simple wire, with a centerfed driven element. A loop antenna is a radio antenna consisting of a loop (or loops) of wire, tubing, or other electrical conductor with its ends connected to a balanced transmission line. A crystal oscillator uses

    crystal

    the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a very precise frequency. A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. A type of sacrificial overcurrent protection device. Represents low voltage and power fuses.

    transducer

    inductor

    A coil of wire which creates a magnetic field when current passes through it. It may have an iron core inside the coil. It can be used as a transducer converting electrical energy to mechanical energy by pulling on something. It is a passive twoterminal electrical component used to store energy in a magnetic field.

For example, a voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electrical potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. The wattmeter is an instrument for measuring the electric power in watts of any given circuit.

    The electrical symbols for most major basic electrical components can be found in this above table. However, each electrical component may have numerous possible representations. The electrical symbols can vary from country to country, but are today to a large extent internationally standardized. Some electrical symbols became virtually extinct with the development of new technologies. In cases where there is more than one common electrical symbol we have tried to give an alternate representation.
