Electrical Prints SKT 131 Test 2 definitions

____________________________________ are essential in troubleshooting because they enable an individual to trace a circuit and its functions without regard to the actual size, shape, or location of the component, device, or part.

Schematic diagrams

Single line or one line diagram is a form of ______________________ graphically depicting the paths for power flow between entities of the system.

block diagram

In a wiring diagram, the location of a _______________________ is generally shown as close to the actual circuit configuration as possible.

component

A _______________________________ is a control device that uses a small control current to energize or de-energize the load connected to it.

contactor

A _______________ is the connection of all exposed noncurrent‑carrying metal parts to the earth.

ground

isolated grounded

A ___________________ diagram may be used to illustrate a manual control circuit of a pushbutton controlling a pilot light.

line or ladder

A _______________________ diagram consists of a series of symbols interconnected by lines that are laid out like rungs on a ladder to indicate the flow of current through the various components of a circuit.

line or ladder

Using a _____________________ diagram when troubleshooting helps to identify the circuit's potential test points for taking circuit measurements.

line or ladder
