Rooftop Solar PV System Designers andInstallers\n\nTraining Curriculum  \nAPEC Secretariat  \nMarch 2015  \n# COMMON ELECTRICALDRAWING SYMBOLS\n\nTraining of PV Designer and Installer  \nAsia-PacificEconomic Cooperation  \nInternational CopperAssociationCopper Alliance  \nTo understand the commonly used electricalsymbols in drawings especially pertaining toinstallation drawings and electrical drawings.  \n## eneral Drafting Practices\n\n·Electrical systems should be drawn separate from otherdrawings such as architectural,structural,mechanical.  \n·Electrical symbols should be drawn darker than thebackground drawing showing other systems and/or buildingstructure  \n·It is preferable that the solar PV electrical system drawing isdone separately from other electrical systems but referencingthem if it helps with clarity  \n·Electrical plans are generally drawn to scale,but graphicsymbols only indicate the approximate locations of electricalequipment  \neneral Drafting Practices  \n·CAD electrical construction drawings should be created at full scale as thiswill help to make the scale and print size uniform when printed with otherdrawings  \n·Use locally accepted standard practices when possible,otherwise a goodstandard to use is CAD Layer Guidelines published by the American Instituteof Architects  \n·A complete set of electrical construction drawings include the following:  \n·Plan for each structure and location/site with electrical installation  \n·Site plan(s)showing incoming utility services and substations,exteriortransformers,feeders,trunk lines,cables between buildings,etc  \n·Symbol list and abbreviation list  \n·Bill of materials for electrical systems  \n·One line diagram for the solar PV system  \n## Electrical Symbols\n\nWhile there are common electrical symbolsused in the industry,it is more importantthat locally accepted symbols are used soother people involved can also understandthe information conveyed in the drawings  \nElectrical Symbols  \nThis is a solar cell and the commonsymbols for it.A solar panel usuallyconsists of many solar cells wired inseries and 2-3 of those in parallel.The upper symbol is normally used todenote a solar panel in a systemdiagram  \nSolar Panel  \nThis is what the solar panels'  \nsimplified internal circuits look like.Inreality,the solar panels have blockingdiodes and usually have more than 1set of cells in series  \n## Electrical Symbols\n\nZ Over voltage protection  \nDiode  \nWh  \nConverter DC/DCConverting DC to DC  \nInverterDC to AC Converter  \nRepresentation
