Single Line Diagram (SLD) Generator

Drag symbols onto the canvas, connect them, label them, then export as PNG or PDF — free, no login required.

What Is a Single Line Diagram?

A single line diagram (SLD), also called a one-line diagram, represents a three-phase power system using a single line and standardized symbols instead of drawing every phase conductor. Engineers use SLDs to show how power flows from a utility or generator source, through transformers, buses, circuit breakers and protection devices, down to individual loads — without the clutter of a full multi-line schematic.

How to Use This SLD Generator

  1. Drag a symbol from the left palette (generator, transformer, breaker, bus, load, etc.) onto the canvas to place it — or tap it to drop it into the visible area.
  2. Drag any placed component to reposition it. Tap it without dragging to rename its label in the properties panel.
  3. Click a small connector dot on one component, then a connector dot on another, to draw a wire between them.
  4. When your diagram is ready, export it instantly as a PNG image or a print-ready PDF.
  5. Use "Save & Share" to generate a link you can send to colleagues or come back to later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this SLD generator free? Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up required.

Can I edit a saved diagram later? Yes — open your shareable link and continue editing; saving again updates the same diagram.

What symbols are supported? Utility source, generator, transformer, bus bar, circuit breaker, fuse, isolator, protection relay, motor, load, capacitor bank, energy meter, earth/ground and switch.
