About Course

This course covers low-voltage electrical systems, and it’s particularly designed to introduce you, help you, and train you in electrical drafting using AutoCAD. It will enhance your career and make you a skilled professional design engineer in the field of electrical drafting.

Electrical drafting is a key role in the Electrical design field. This is a fast-paced program designed to present all major topics related to the design of Electrical Building Services. Learners will learn the concept theory of drafting, system design, AutoCAD software, and Electrical services drafting.

Course Sections

To make learning easy and interesting, the completed course is divided into three sections:

  1. Basics of Electrical Drafting
  2. AutoCAD Software
  3. Electrical Services Drafting

In the first section ‘Basics of Electrical Drafting‘, we’ll discuss some basic means of drafting, why the drafting of plans is needed and important and how these drawings are helpful for the world. We’ll also discuss some essential steps that every designer should follow in drafting the plans in AutoCAD or any other software.

In the ‘AutoCAD Software‘ section, we will discuss how to work with AutoCAD, how to make changes in AutoCAD settings, project settings, etc., how to draw figures and edit them, modify the existing figures and much more.

Finally, in the third section ‘Electrical Services Drafting ‘ you will be introduced to the electrical services layouts. Starting with the Electrical Legends where you will learn how to draw electrical symbols in AutoCAD, we will move to the Single Line Diagram (SLD) of the low voltage system.

SLD is the heart of the electrical system not only in the execution phase but also during execution, operation and maintenance.

 

Special attention is paid to the lighting layouts, how to draw lighting fixtures layout, how to create normal and power sockets layouts. You will learn electrical wiring layouts, how to develop a Lighting Control Wiring layout, conduits layouts, and cable tray layouts. At the final of this section, you will learn CCTV system layouts, how to draw CCTV legends, where to provide CCTV cameras and where not, how to interconnect them, etc.

This certificate training course introduces the basic range of Electrical Building Services including the topics: electrical legends, lighting layouts, raw power layouts, wiring layouts, conduit layouts, cable trays, CCTV systems, etc.

We are sure that you will be confident to use the software AutoCAD and draw the electrical plans after you finished this course.

2. Basics of Drafting
In this section, you will be introduced to the basics of electrical drafting by explaining what is drafting, what are the benefits of electrical drafting, and pointing to essential guidelines for drafting.

3. Introduction to AutoCAD
In this section, you will be introduced to the AutoCAD software, initial settings of AutoCAD and Projects as well as Function keys.

4. AutoCAD Drawing, Editing, and Modifying Commands
In this section, you will be introduced to the basic AutoCAD drawing commands which will help you to draw different figures and edits and modifies the existing figures.

5. AutoCAD Dimensions, Blocks, Layers, and Helping Commands
This section relates the learner to the fundamental and essential commands of AutoCAD, dimension commands by which users can measure the linear, angular, aligned dimensions, radii, diameters of the circles, arcs, area of any figure (regular shapes or irregular shapes) and distance. Block commands will help you to learn blocks of the figure and block edits.By understanding layer commands, you will be able to create new layers, edit and modifies the existed layers. Helping commands will help you in drafting the layouts by reducing the working time and increasing efficiency.

6. Electrical Legends
In this section you will be introduced to the basics of electrical legends and how to create legends in AutoCAD.

7. Single Line Diagram (SLD)
In this section, you will learn the essentials of Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) of the low voltage systems.

8. Lighting Layouts
In this section you will be introduced to the lighting basics, types of lights, the most important terminologies, as well as to drafting of the electrical lighting and power sockets layouts.

9. Electrical Wiring Layouts
In this section you will be introduced to the electrical wiring basics, colour codes, types of the wiring system, methods of wiring installations, wiring consideration factors, wire letterings, drafting of the electrical lighting and power wiring layouts, conduits and cable trays layouts.

10. Drafting CCTV Systems
In this section, you will be introduced to drafting the CCTV system for a commercial building. We’ll cover the basics of CCTV systems, components, camera types, video recorders, display units, and types of cables.
