Preface
SolidWorks Electrical 2021 is a uniquely designed electrical CAD package from Dassault System. Easy-to-use CAD-embedded electrical schematic and panel designing enable all designers and engineers to design most complex electrical schematics and panels. You can quickly and easily employ engineering techniques to optimize performance while you design, to cut down on costly prototypes, eliminate rework and delays, and save you time and development costs. SolidWorks Electrical provides thousands of symbols and over 500,000 manufactured parts for use in your design hence saving lots of user time for designing rather than drafting.
The SolidWorks Electrical 2021 Black Book is, 7th edition of SolidWorks Electrical Black Book, written to help professionals as well as learners in performing various tedious jobs in Electrical control designing. The book follows the best proven step by step methodology. This book is more concentrated on making you able to use tools at right places.

Chapter 1
Basics of
Electrical Drawings
The major topics covered in this chapter are:
•Need of Drawings
•Electrical Drawings
•Common Symbols in Electrical Drawings
•Wire and its Types
•Labeling
Need of Drawings
In this book, we will learn about electrical wiring and schematics created by using tools in SolidWorks Electrical. Most of the readers of this book will be having prior experience with electrical drawings but there are a few topics that should be revised before we move on to practical on software.
When we work in an electrical industry, we need to have a lot of information ready like the wire type, location of switches, load of every machine, and so on. It is very difficult to remember all these details if you are working on electrical system of a big plant because there might be thousands of wires connecting hundreds of switches and machines. To maintain accuracy in wiring of such big systems, we need electrical drawings. Earlier, electrical drawings were handmade but now, we use printed documentation for these informations. Figure-1 shows an electrical drawing (electronic).
Electrical Drawings
Electrical drawings are the representation of electrical components connected with wiring to perform specific tasks. An electrical drawing can be of a house, industry, or an electrical panel. Electrical drawings can be divided into following categories:
•Circuit diagram
•Wiring diagram
•Wiring schedule
•Block diagram
•Parts list
Circuit Diagram
A circuit diagram shows how the electrical components are connected together. A circuit diagram consists:
•Symbols to represent the components;
•Lines to represent the functional conductors or wires which connect the components together.
A circuit diagram is derived from a block or functional diagram (see Figure-2). It does not generally bear any relationship to the physical shape, size or layout of the parts. Although, you could wire up an assembly from the information given in it, they are usually intended to show the detail of how an electrical circuit works.
Wiring Diagram
A wiring diagram is the drawing which shows complete wiring between the components. We use wiring diagrams when we need to represent:
•Control or signal functions;
•Power supplies and earth connections;
•Termination of unused leads, contacts;
•Interconnection via terminal posts, blocks, plugs, sockets, and lead-throughs.
The wiring diagrams have details, such as the terminal identification numbers which enable us to wire the unit together. Note that internal wiring of components is generally not displayed in the wiring diagrams. Figure-3 shows a wiring diagram.
Wiring Schedule
A wiring schedule defines the wire reference number, type (size and number of conductors), length, and the amount of insulation stripping required for soldering.
In complex equipment, you may also find a table of interconnections which will give the starting and finishing reference points of each connection as well as other important information such as wire color, identification marking, and so on. Refer to Figure-4.
