Isometric Wiring Diagram
An isometric wiring diagram shows the outlines of
a ship and the location of equipment, such as panels,
connection boxes, and cable runs.
Wiring Diagram
A wiring diagram shows the individual connections
within a unit and the physical arrangement of the
components.
Schematic Diagram
Figure 1-20.--Standard Equipment Guide List.
A schematic diagram uses graphic symbols to show
how a circuit functions electrically.
