Introduction
Watch the example video on how to draw schematics.
Instructions
Watch the lab example video, and then perform the lab.
- Follow the guidelines on the Lab Expectations page.
- Print off the drawing template found at the start of this module. (If you cannot print the drawing, draw the template on a piece of paper.)
- Write your initials in the "Drawn By:" section of the template drawing.
- Write the date in the "Date:" section of the template drawing.
- Write the lab number in the "Drawing #" section of the template drawing.
- Write the title of the lab in the title section of the template drawing.
- Legibly draw up the following schematic using the drawing template and drawing legend. (Note: Refer to AMAR-1200-01 - AC Amps Measurement.pdf and AMAR-1200-02 - DC Amps Measurement.pdf found in previous modules for examples on how to properly draw a schematic.)
- Draw AC input to 24 VAC transformer. (Just like you have seen in previous labs. This is where the 120 volt plug comes into the transformer.)
- Draw all circuit breakers in the system.
- Draw a 3-way switch in series with a light bulb on the NC contact.
- Then using the same 3-way switch, draw in a buzzer on the NO contact.
- Label all wires with the appropriate color.
- Wire up the circuit per your drawing.
- Show that the circuit works.
- Measure the voltage into the light circuit.
- Measure the amps into the light circuit.
- Calculate the power in the light circuit.
