Reading Electrical Plans

This Electrical Plan Reading Class, taught by Chad Constance (Rosedin), teaches how to interpret drawings that show the building’s power distribution, lighting systems, communications, and fire alarm systems. Attendees learn how to follow circuits, identify equipment and components, and coordinate with other trades.

• Communicate the design of power, lighting, and low-voltage systems
• Ensure code compliance (NEC), system capacity, and installation accuracy
• Coordinate electrical routing with structural and architectural plans
