Study Unit Understanding and Using Electronic Diagrams

Study UnitUnderstanding andUsing ElectronicDiagramsByThomas GregoryIn your studies so far, you ve learned the basic principles ofhow electrical circuits provide power for useful work. Basiccircuits consist of a power source, components that regulatethe flow of current, and loads such as motors, lights, heat-ers, and more complex devices like computers or and Electronic technicians may work installing,servicing, maintaining, and troubleshooting hundreds of dif-ferent electrical and electromechanical devices from manydifferent manufacturers, on a regular basis. Over the years astandard visual language has evolved that allows designers,engineers, and technicians to effectively describe these elec-trical devices functions. In this unit you ll learn how circuits are described by draw-ings called schematics.

In the case of the transformer, the voltage listed refers to the secondary voltage. The primary side is connected to line voltage of 120 volts, so the step-down transformer in Figure 1 has a turns ratio of 120 V/18 V = 6.67:1. Since the second-ary voltage is 18 volts and the maximum current is 2 amps,
