Introduction
Below is the video from Module 11 on how to draw a schematic. You can view it if you need a refresher on drawing schematics.
Instructions
Watch the example video, and then perform the lab.
- Follow the guidelines on the Lab Expectations page.
- Print off the drawing template found at the start of Module 11. (If you cannot print the drawing, draw the template on a piece of paper.)
- Write your initials in the "Drawn By:" section of the template drawing.
- Write the date in the "Date:" section of the template drawing.
- Write the lab number in the "Drawing #" section of the template drawing.
- Write the title of the lab in the "title" section of the template drawing.
- Legibly draw up the following schematic using the drawing template and drawing legend. (Note: Refer to AMAR-1200-01 - AC Amps Measurement.pdf and AMAR-1200-02 - DC Amps Measurement.pdf found in previous modules for examples on how to properly draw a schematic.)
- Draw AC input to 24 VAC transformer.
- Draw all circuit breakers in the system.
- Draw two 3-way switches that turn on a single light bulb. You can add it to your schematic as shown.

- From a different breaker, wire 2 parallel receptacles.
- Label all wires with the appropriate color.
- Wire up the circuit per your drawing.
- Show that the circuit works.
- Measure the voltage at the light bulb and at the receptacles.
- Answer: Is the light bulb in parallel or series with the receptacles?
