A junction indication marks a documented electrical connection between conductor branches.

## What it represents

A junction indication marks a documented electrical connection between conductor branches. The junction is a drawing connectivity statement: the branches belong to one connected electrical network at that point. It is different from a hardware splice which may have its own material and installation record.
Apply the drawing legend’s junction convention consistently and check the CAD connection data. Visual line overlap is not sufficient evidence that an automatic wire report will treat the lines as connected.

## How to read it

- Check the connection mark and CAD connectivity at every branch rather than inferring connection from line proximity.
- A crossing line is not necessarily a connected conductor.

## Information to show or reference

- Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
- Check the connection mark and CAD connectivity at every branch rather than inferring connection from line proximity.
- Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.

## Important distinction

A crossing line is not necessarily a connected conductor.

## Facts
