How do you draw an electrical schematic diagram?

Making wiring or electrical diagrams is easy with the proper templates and symbols:

1. Start with a collection of electrical symbols appropriate for your diagram.
2. Draw circuits represented by lines.
3. Drag and drop symbols to the circuits and connect them.
4. Use line hops if any lines need to cross.

What is the difference between a wiring diagram and a schematic?

A schematic shows the plan and function for an electrical circuit, but is not concerned with the physical layout of the wires. Wiring diagrams show how the wires are connected and where they should located in the actual device, as well as the physical connections between all the components.

What is the purpose of an electrical schematic diagram?

The main purpose of a schematic diagram is to emphasize circuit elements and how their functions relate to each other. Schematics are an extremely valuable troubleshooting tool that identify which components are in series or parallel and how they connect to one another.
