Learning Objectives
A. Content Standard: Demonstrate understanding of/on electrical wiring diagram,
pictorial diagram, schematic diagram , types of circuit such as series circuit and
parallel circuit, electrical plan, and quantity of electrical fixtures. Draw Schematic Diagram and
Symbols.
B. Performance Standard: Necessary tools, materials and equipment are identified according to
the plan. Components, assemblies or object are recognized as per job requirement. Dimensions and
specification are identified according to job requirements.
C. Learning Competencies: Interpret technical drawings and plans.
D. Learning Objectives: Draw schematic diagrams (electrical plan).
Learning Competencies (Essential Competencies)

1. Read blueprints of electrical plan, diagram and circuit (TLE_IAEI7/8ID0e-2)

2. Identify necessary tools, materials and equipment according to blueprints of electrical plans,
diagrams and circuits
Let’s Recall (Review)
Directions: Below is a drawing of an electrical plan. Enumerate the number of outlets,
bulbs, one-gang switch, two-gang switch and three-gang switch.

Quantity Electrical Fixtures
Lamp Outlets
Duplex Convenience Outlets
Single Gang Switches
Two-Gang Switches
Three-Gang Switches

Let’s Understand (Study the Concept)

ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM
The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented by diagram.
There are two types of diagram: pictorial diagram and schematic diagram.
A. Pictorial diagram is a sketch of
electrical circuit that shows the
external appearance of each
component. It is much like a
photograph of the circuit and uses
simple images of parts.

Sample diagram of one bulb controlled by single pole switch using 9 volt battery source.
B. Schematic diagram is a
sketch showing the components
of the circuit using standard
electrical symbols. It shows the
actual number of components
and how the wiring is routed but
not the actual location.
Sample schematic diagrams of
one bulb controlled by single
pole switch using direct current (Diagram A) and alternating current (Diagram B) source.
C. Types of Circuits
1. Series Circuit is a circuit in which
lamps are arranged in a chain, so that the
current has only one path to take. The
current is the same through each load.
Example of this is the Christmas lights.
It consists of a number of bulbs that are
connected side by side to meet the
voltage requirement which is 220 volts
for alternating current.

2
2. Parallel Circuit is a circuit in which lamps
are connected across the wires. The voltage
across each load on parallel circuit is the same.
The advantage of using parallel circuit is that
even if one of the lamps fails, still the
remaining lamps will function.

ELECTRICAL PLAN
Electrical plan is a graphical
presentation of electrical
wiring connections to install in
a particular house or building.
It indicates the position of
electrical fixtures such as
convenience outlets, switches,
lightings, door bells, and
others to be installed.

Sample electrical plan of Single family dwelling

Number of electrical fixtures found in the electrical plan
Quantity Electrical Fixtures
8 pieces Lamp Outlets
8 pieces Duplex Convenience Outlets
4 pieces Single Gang Switches
1 piece Two Gang Switch
1 piece Three Gang Switch

Let’s Apply
Directions: Draw the schematic diagram of the following:
1. Two bulbs connected in series controlled by a single pole switch using direct current.
2. Four bulbs connected in parallel controlled by a single pole switch using alternating current.

3
Let’s Analyze
Directions: Based on the electrical plan below count the number of electrical fixtures
and then write it in the table provided after the drawing.

Let’s Create (Enrichment Activity)

Goal: Draw the schematic diagram of the following on Oslo paper.
Role: As a grade eight student, you are tasked to draw 2 schematic diagrams.
Situation: In a TLE 8 class, Mister Saladas asks his students to draw 2 schematic diagrams on
Oslo paper.
1. Put border on each side of the paper with ½ size.
2. At the bottom, draw four boxes and write your name, grade and section, title of the lesson and
name of teacher inside.
3. Draw the following on two Oslo paper. One diagram on each paper.
a. Two bulbs connected in series controlled by a single pole switch using direct current.
b. Four bulbs connected in parallel controlled by a single pole switch using alternating current.
5. Make it presentable and colorful by using coloring materials. Use the rubric as your guide in
making your output.
