House electrical symbols

If you are looking for a simple list of house electrical symbols, below is one.

If you are surprised at how short the list it, then please know that this list of electrical symbols has been used in this country for thirty or maybe forty years.

As I said, I am breaking up the original article, Home electrical wiring, symbols and checking, into a number of small posts for the benefit of beginners so they can easily find what they are looking for.

You may notice that the original list contains a QUANTITY column on the right. (Click in the image to see the full size.)

This is the actual quantity of the materials in the original electrical layout, which you can see at this post, Simple house electrical schematic (Coming soon... ).

That is all I wish to say in this post. I will see you again in the next small post.
