Course Overview

AutoCAD Electrical is the industry-standard software for electrical control system design and documentation. Used by electrical engineers, designers, and drafters worldwide in manufacturing plants, automation companies, power distribution systems, and industrial facilities. Our comprehensive AutoCAD Electrical course teaches you to create professional electrical schematics, circuit diagrams, panel layouts, ladder logic diagrams, PLC I/O drawings, and generate automated reports including bill of materials (BOM), wire lists, and component catalogs.

This course emphasizes practical, project-based learning covering electrical symbols and standards (IEC, NFPA, JIC, IEEE), schematic design for motors, controls, transformers, and switchgear, intelligent wire numbering and cross-referencing, panel layout design with 3D visualization, terminal strip and DIN rail design, PLC module and I/O configuration, automatic report generation, project management for large electrical systems, and integration with AutoCAD for combining electrical and mechanical drawings. You'll master industry best practices for electrical documentation.

Taught by professional electrical engineers and AutoCAD certified instructors with extensive experience in industrial automation, power systems, and electrical design consultancy, you'll learn real-world workflows used in manufacturing, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, and infrastructure projects. The hands-on approach ensures you complete 15+ industrial electrical projects - motor control circuits, power distribution systems, lighting layouts, instrumentation diagrams, and complete electrical panel designs - making you job-ready for electrical design engineer, CAD drafter, and automation engineer roles.
