Electrical Symbols
• The symbols used to represent industrial electrical and electronic
components can be considered a form of technical shorthand.
• The use of these symbols tend to make circuit diagram less
complicated and easier to read and understand.
• In industrial control systems, symbols and related lines show how the
parts of a circuit are connected to one another.
Electrical Symbols
• Not all electrical and electronics symbols are standardized.
• Different manufacturers use different symbols.
• Symbols used to represent switches consist of node points (places
where circuit devices attach to each other), contact bars, and the
specific symbol that identifies that particular type of switch, as
illustrated in Figure.
