What are the three basic types of wiring diagrams used in the HVACR trade? - Answer: 1. The ladder
diagram
2. The pictorial diagram
3. The installation diagram
Describe the characteristics of a ladder diagram - Answer: 1. Provides the most helpful information for
electrical troubleshooting

Describe the characteristics of a pictorial diagram - Answer: 1. Usually includes drawings that more
closely resemble the components themselves rather than the symbols.
2. Provides the best indication of the actual positions of the components in the equipment or control
panel.
Describe the characteristics of an installation diagram - Answer: 1. Used primarily By the person
installing equipment
2. It normally only shows what the terminal board connections are and may or may not include any
internal wiring of the unit
3. Field wiring Generally represented as Dashed lines.
4. Thicker lines represent line voltage wiring(120/240 V)
5. Thin lines represent low-voltage control wiring
What is a switch? - Answer: A switch is a device that interrupts power to the load. It may be manually or

other controllers are placed on the left side of the diagram called the "line"side.
Describe the up and down schematic arrangement - Answer: This type of arrangement divides the
schematic in to high-voltage and low-voltage sections. Normally the high voltage section is placed on the

What are the two basic configurations used in schematics? - Answer: Side by side arrangement and up
and down arrangement
A particular right triangle that has two equal sides. This is a? - Answer: 45°- 45°-90°right triangle
Which of the following is typically represented by the two lines on the sides of a diagram? - Answer:

two of the motor leads
The overload protection of a 10a and ma inputs of a digital used in HVAC work are? - Answer: Always
the same
As a general rule, a continuity check using an ohmmeter shows continuity by a reading of? - Answer: At
zero or a specific resistance
How is a voltmeter connected for taking a reading? - Answer: In parallel with the voltage to be
measured
