Electrical Symbols — Inductors

An inductor, also called a coil or reactor, is a passive two-terminal electrical component which resists changes in electric current passing through it. It consists of a conductor such as a wire, usually wound into a coil. Energy is stored in a magnetic field in the coil as long as current flows. When the current flowing through an inductor changes, the time-varying magnetic field induces a voltage in the conductor, according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.

Inductors are widely used in alternating current (AC) electronic equipment, particularly in radio equipment. They are used to block AC while allowing DC to pass; inductors designed for this purpose are called chokes. They are also used in electronic filters to separate signals of different frequencies, and in combination with capacitors to make tuned circuits, used to tune radio and TV receivers.


How to Create an Electrical Diagram Using Inductors Library

  • Open ConceptDraw DIAGRAM new document page.
  • Select libraries from Electrical Engineering section.

    Libraries from Electrical Engineering section

  • There are a few different ways to place an object into your drawing:

    • Click on an object and then click on the document, at the place you want the object to be inserted.
    • Perform a drag-and-drop from the library to your document.
    • Double click on an object’s icon in the library to place an object in the center of your document.
  • Select the Smart Connector tool Smart Connector. To connect elements using this tool, drag the connector from one connect dot to another.You can use Layers to place connections on different layers.
  • Result: Electrical Diagram.

Every interior design project starts from a deep understanding of all the utilities used in the building. In the first place, plumbing projection stage is crucial for the future design because it is very important to fit all the elements in their places correctly. Kitchen interior, for instance, will depend on the plumbing very much. Planning the layout of bathroom facilities, plumbing and sanitary equipment is a critical stage of the interior design of the entire house. Suppose, you do not need to see grill in your bathroom and the toilet in your kitchen, you need to give the proper consideration to the plumbing and piping planning. The ConceptDraw Plumbing and Piping Plans solution delivers the kit of 4 vector libraries containing more than 120 elements as pumps, tanks, pipes, boilers and other bathroom equipment for depicting Plumbing & Piping Plans. Using the Plumbing library, enables designing plumbing and piping interior designs, schemes and blueprints of water supply and sewerage systems.Plumbing — Design Elements
