What are the five basic components to any schematic? Correct Answer: 1. A power supply
2. A path for the power
3. A load or component that operates from the power.
4. A switch or component that interrupts the power to the load.
5. A legend or key that explains what the various symbols and abbreviations used in the schematic mean.
What are the three basic types of wiring diagrams used in the HVACR trade? Correct Answer: 1. The ladder diagram
2. The pictorial diagram
3. The installation diagram
Describe the characteristics of a ladder diagram Correct Answer: 1. Provides the most helpful information for electrical troubleshooting
2.The intention of the overall schematic is to show how the circuit functions not how it actually looks.
Describe the characteristics of a pictorial diagram Correct Answer: 1. Usually includes drawings that more closely resemble the components themselves rather than the symbols.
2. Provides the best indication of the actual positions of the components in the equipment or control panel.
Describe the characteristics of an installation diagram Correct Answer: 1. Used primarily By the person installing equipment
2. It normally only shows what the terminal board connections are and may or may not include any internal wiring of the unit
3. Field wiring Generally represented as Dashed lines.
4. Thicker lines represent line voltage wiring(120/240 V)
5. Thin lines represent low-voltage control wiring
What is a switch? Correct Answer: A switch is a device that interrupts power to the load. It may be manually or automatically activated by pressure, temperature or it may be an electrically controlled switch
What is a load? Correct Answer: A load is a device that consumes power and converts it into some other form of energy
Describe the side-by-side arrangement four wire diagrams Correct Answer: Usually arranges motors and other power consuming components on the right side of the diagram called the "load" side. The switches and other controllers are placed on the left side of the diagram called the "line"side.
