Purpose of Seminar:
The purpose of this information packed seminar is to provide the attendee with the ability to read and
understand their ladder drawings and schematics. Being able to use electrical prints as a tool in
troubleshooting is one of the hardest things for technicians learn. This seminar will take the mystery
out of electrical drawings and help the attendee read them like a book. This is done by teaching the
attendee what all the symbols represent as well as how the ladder drawing should be approached and read
when troubleshooting or installing new equipment. Attend this seminar and leave with the confidence and
knowledge of how to read and use electrical ladder drawings.
