The objective of this course is to deliver the knowledge of streamlining the design process using modelling tools. Students learn about building wiring design, electronics circuit design, advanced rendering techniques, phasing and design options, and creating families of custom components.
Electrical Drafting Sketches and Drawings:
CAD designers who focus on electrical diagrams create:
Master sketches
Working diagrams
Wiring diagrams – automotive electrical systems and development of wiring diagrams for skyscrapers
ESTING:
Electrical drafters are tasked with testing the specifications they create to make sure they work and are in compliance with government regulations and safety requirements.
Primary Duties of an Electrical CAD Drafter
Electrical drafters have a diverse workload ranging from preparing the technical drawings of electrical wiring and electric systems to testing those designs. Designers also create specifications and instructions for installation of electrical equipment like transformers, power lines and any equipment used to relay power from high voltage lines to homes and businesses. Drafters are even needed in the automotive industry. Today’s cars are more electronic than ever with sophisticated on-board computers used to record driving conditions, how the vehicle is operated and report mechanical issues.
Why is Electrical Diagrams Important?
Electrical diagrams can be used for numerous applications.
For example:
An electrician will use the wiring diagram of a house to connect outlets to the proper switch, install overhead lighting to the proper circuits and ensure that the proper sized electrical panel box is installed to handle the output needed.
Car mechanics need vehicle wiring diagrams to properly install audio equipment, testing fuses and sensors and to perform electrical diagnostics for vehicle repair.
Even emergency service personnel use electrical drafting diagrams to assess safety before entering buildings.
As technology advances and buildings continue to be built, electrical CAD drafters will be required to develop intricate electrical systems to meet those demands. Having such a wide range of applications, an innovative electrical designer must be creative and analytical.
