Current Events > What do you call this kind of electrical wiring schematic in English?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Im studying to become a teacher and I want the students to use a software that can produce schematics like this, but I'm having problems finding the name of this kind of circuit. Ive tried to search for electrical schematic, but that seems to be used more for automation and electronics.
We could probably use software like paint or something, but I want them to be able to save templates for switches (if the software don't already have it) and stuff like that. Grids and connections are probably also a great help

Huge bonus if you know of a software like this, and even better if it runs on both MacOS and Windows

Thanks guys!

That looks like a wiring diagram if i remember correctly (its been a few years). I dont think my class really used any software for it, I think we usually just drew them on paper. There might have been software we used for ladder diagrams (or ladder logic) but not these

When I was in school we did the same. Drawings for those schematics and automation, but used a software when programming PLC. Now the main teacher wants the class to use PC, but we can't find a suitable software that's easy to use.

It looks like PC-Schematics is close to what I'm looking for. That or Visio, which seems a little easier to use, but not really for electrical diagrams
