CWatters Super Member Offline "Daddy fick it" says James Posts: 5150 Total Thanks: 58 For This Post: 0 Gender:	Electrical Symbols Feb 18^th, 2005, 10:02am I'll soon need to mark up a set of floor plans to show where we want power points in our new house. I assuming there is a standard set of symbols for this sort of thing but could only really find this one using Google. http://www.elec-toolbox.com/usefulinfo/elecsym1.htm Are these correct for the UK?

Yep ding, OSG is the best guide, probably better than some DIY electrical guides, problem is it's not as easy to understand, the DIY manuals are made really easy.

Would have scanned in the symbols, but some one nicked my OSG sooo Roll Eyes

Btw that list above is ok, some are slightly different though, always seems to be some variation, and that list was made in 1985 Roll Eyes
