Where are the area prints located?

• A. Single line & EDS
• B. Control room monitor
• C. In the file cabinet in the lobby
• D. On the project board outside

Answer: (A)

Area prints belong with the main electrical drawing package, specifically with the single-line diagram and the EDS. The single-line diagram gives the overall layout of power distribution in the system, showing how feeders and major equipment connect, while the EDS (engineering drawing set) contains the detailed information and layouts for the area. Keeping area prints alongside these documents ensures you have the area layout and the essential design data in one place for planning, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Publicly posted locations like a lobby file cabinet or a project board, or a monitor that shows live status, aren’t where the official drawings are stored, so the best and most practical location is with the single line diagram and EDS.
