Needs some diagrams[edit]

It would be much easier to talk about wiring diagrams if we had a diagram to talk about. I will dig up something and place it here and I look forward to the usual storm of tags saying it doesn't reflect a world-wide view, etc. --Wtshymanski (talk) 02:59, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?[edit]

There's a duplicate here: Circuit_diagram A merge should be considered. --24.114.96.14 (talk) 13:34, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - A wiring diagram and a schematic serve slightly different purposes. A wiring diagram is usually a more physical representation of the terminals and interconnecting wires and cables of a system, whereas a schematic emphasizes function and signal/power flow. A construction electrician wiring up a motor starter in a motor control center wants to know that cable number 1037 has cores 2,3, and 4 landing on TB-2 terminals 4, 7, and 9. A maintenance electrician wanting to know why the darn thing won't run will likely look at a schematic and notice an E-stop button, then refer to the wiring diagram that might tell her which of 17 cables in the starter belongs to that e-stop button. Good schematics will include terminal block ID and terminal ID on the schematic, but they are not organized to be convenient during cable termination. --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:23, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
