Electrical Cable, Conductor, Line, Wire Symbol

Hey, in this article we are going to see the symbols of different types of electrical cables, electric conductors, electric lines, and electric wires. You can see these symbols in electrical wiring diagrams, circuit diagrams, and connection diagrams. When you properly know about these symbols, you can easily understand any wiring and circuit diagrams. House wiring diagrams, machine installation, power transmission, distribution, and new electrical projects, in everywhere these symbols are used. These are very important symbols in electrical as well as electronics engineering.

Electric Wire or Conductor Symbol

Here, you can see the generic symbol of the electrical conductor or wire, or electric line. It is symbolized by a straight line.

Different Types of Electric Line Symbols

Here, you can see the symbol of a single-wire, double-wire, three-wire, or multiple-wire electric line.

A line with a single wire can be drawn by a straight line or a straight line crossed by a single line. The electric line with double or two conductors can be drawn by a straight line crossed by two lines. The electric line with three wires can be drawn by a straight line crossed by three lines or a single line marked by 3.

Shielded Cable or Shielded Wire Symbol

A shielded cable is also known as a screened cable. These types of cables are one or more insulated around a common conductor. The shield is made of either braided strands of copper or aluminum metal mesh. Here, you can see the symbol of Shielded Cable.

Protective Wire Symbol

Here, you can see the symbol of Protective Wire.

Neutral Wire Symbol

Here, you can see the symbol of the neutral wire. It is used in single-phase and three-phase four-wire wiring and circuit diagrams.

Two Conductor Cable Symbol

Here, you can see the symbol of cable having two conductors.

Coaxial Cable Symbol

The main feature of the coaxial cable is, it can transmit signals without any interference. The inner conductor of the coaxial cable is shielded by metallic mesh. And this metal shield is connected to both ends of the line. Here, you can see the symbol of coaxial cable.
