Quarter 1 – Module 6:
INTERPRET TECHNICAL
DRAWINGS & PLANS
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE-IA-EIM (7 & 8) Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module

on Interpret Technical Drawings & Plans!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher
or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this
also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking
into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing
them to manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

In this portion, the new lesson will be

What’s New introduced to you in various ways; a story, a
song, a poem, a problem opener, an activity
or a situation.
This section provides a brief discussion of the
What is It lesson. This aims to help you discover and
understand new concepts and skills.

This comprises activities for independent

practice to solidify your understanding and
What’s More
skills of the topic. You may check the
answers to the exercises using the Answer
Key at the end of the module.
This includes questions or blank
What I Have Learned sentence/paragraph to be filled in to process

lesson learned.

Answer Key This contains answers to all activities in the

module.

At the end of this module you will also find:

References This is a list of all sources used in

developing this module.

The following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part
of the module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other
activities included in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your
answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through
with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do
not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that
you are not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful

learning and gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You
can do it!

iv
What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
understand Electrical Installation and Maintenance.

In this module, you will be learning about reading and interpreting specifications of
simple technical drawings and plans.

You, as a learner, will be given the understanding of the concepts and underlying
principles in analyzing signs, electrical symbols and data.

The module is talking about the following lesson:

Lesson 1 - Read blueprints of electrical plans, diagrams and circuits & Identify
necessary tools, materials and equipment according to blueprints of electrical plans,
diagrams and circuits

The module covers the Introduction/Learning Objectives, Pre-assessment, Lesson

Proper, Generalization, Application, Post Assessment, Additional Activity (optional).

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

1. Read blueprints of electrical plans, diagrams, and circuits.

2. Identify necessary tools, materials, and equipment according to blueprints of
electrical plans, diagrams and circuits.
3. Appreciate the importance of reading blueprints of electrical plans, diagrams,
and circuits.

READ AND INTERPRET ELECTRICAL
Lesson SIGNS, SYMBOLS AND DATA &
ANALYZE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT
1 AND MATERIALS BASED ON
ELECTRICAL SIGNS, SYMBOLS AND
DATA

EIM involves different signs, symbols, and data. As an EIM student, it is necessary
for you to read and analyze these things. In this module, let us dig deeper on these
signs, symbols, and data.

This module contains useful information. Focus on doing the tasks for you to learn
the topic effectively.

What’s In

LET’S REVIEW!

COMMON ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS

Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent various

electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit. These symbols are used
in sketching schematic diagrams and electrical plans for numerous types of electrical
works.

Practically any electrical fixture found in a house has a symbol that coincides
to said fixture on an electrical wiring diagram. These are very useful guide for an
electrician or electrical contractor, thus, making the wiring easier to install as well.

What is It

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.

5
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.

C. Types of Circuit

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.

6
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.
