It is a requirement of the standard for electrical installations in buildings that a diagram
chart or schedule is provided, giving details of the installation. Thus such a diagram

If no electrical diagram is available, however, create one. The following symbols are often
used to denote various electrical devices and connections. Symbols may differ according
to the country of local code where the Powerline MU is being installed. For example,
“Ground” is called “Earth” in some countries. The symbols used in various countries can
be found on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) website (www.iec.ch).
