GRAPHICAL SYMBOLS FOR

DIAGRAMS IN THE FIELD OF ELEt?I’ROTECHNOLOGY
PART 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

(, IEC Title : Graphical Symbols for Diagrams - Part 1 : General Information,

General Index. Cross-Reference Tables )

National Foreword
8.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 1 ) which is identical with IEC Pub 617-l ( 1985 ) ‘Graphical
symbols for diagrams - Part 1: General information, general index. Cross-reference tables’, issued
by the International Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC ), was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards on the recommendation of the Basic Electrotechnical Standards Sectional Committee
and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.
9.2 It is common in electrical engineering practice -to employ graphical symbols to denote the
tarious means and devicgs used when making diagrams of connections. With the object of making
:hese diagrams easily understandable and universal in meaning, it has become necessary to
uandardize the basic symbols for various devices commonly come across in the field of electrical
:ngineering. Consequently, work on standardization of graphical symbols for diagrams in the
seld electrotechnology began around the year 1960 and since then several standards have been
orought out covering symbols applicable to specific areas in the field. Over the years, some of these
lave also undergone significant updating to keep pace with addition4 needs and developments at
:he international level.

) 3 In selecting and devising these symbols, the objective has been to ensure that symbols, as far as
possible are self explanatory and easy to draw in general use. It may be necessary in detailed
liagrams to indicate the physical structure of apparatus, the actual position of the terminals and so
or calling for modification to the symbols proposed in Indian Standard, but nevertheless it was by
ar recommended that the basic principle of the standard symbols be followed for uniformity and
;larity and for better understanding.

Iquipment, installation and related areas:

0.5 Even though the symbols contained in the above standards are suitable for use in a wide variety
of electrotechnical diagrams, there had been certain lacuna in coordination between symbols
standardized at different points of time for different applications. Moreover, the distinction pre-
viously drawn between light and heavy current application is no longer considered to be valid.
The apparent demarcation of application areas as outlined by the part titles has also often been
misunderstood as distinct areas which are not themselves interrelated, It should be noted that these
are mere categorisation for the sake of convenience and many of the symbols in the single part
( mentioned in 0.3 ) have application elsewhere.
0.6 However, over the years a strong need has emerged to present standardized graphical symbols
in as precise and condensed form as possible, and at the same time not loosing sight of the technical
advancement in the field. New symbols had to be introduced and almost all the examples had to be
revised to demonstrate the possible combinations of basic symbols and qualifying symbols.
0.7 This standard, therefore, attampts an overall revision of the standards mentioned in 0.4. The
significant feature of the current version is that with the help of general symbol elements, qualify-
ing symbols and others of general application, it is now possible to create a large number of symbols
by starting with basic ones of all kinds and adding qualifying ones to them. If the symbol of a
particular device or design cannot be found in this standard it should be possible to produce it by
an appropriate combination of the published symbols.
0.8 New technology in the form of computer aided design techniques for preparing diagrams and
the setting up of data banks for graphical symbols had also been considered.
0.9 Subsequent to the publication of this standard, the corresponding parts of IS : 2032 ( series )
would be withdrawn.
0.10The cross-reference tables given as Appendix B in IEC Pub 617-1 to establish correlation
between symbols in IEC Pub 117 and IEC Pub 617 have not been included in this Indian Standard
as the same are not relevant in the Indian context.

1.3 Related I E C publications

More detailed guidance on the use of graphical symbols and the preparation of various types of
diagrams will be found in several parts of IEC Publication 113: Diagrams, Charts, Tables, and in IEC
Publication 750: Item Designation in Electrotechnology.

1.4 Terminology

Whenever possible the names of the devices and concepts symbolized in this standard correspond
with those used in the most recent edition of IEC Publication 50: International Electrotechnical
Vocabulary (IEV) .

As an aid to the understanding of the publication, terms for the various types of graphical symbols
are defined below.

,1.4.1 Graphical symbol

A figure, mark or character conventionally used on a diagram or other document to represent an

item or a concept.

6
 IS: 12032 (Part 1 ) -1987
EC Pub 617-l ( 1985 )
1.4.2 Symbol element

A simple figure with a defined meaning which must be combined with other figures’to form the
complete symbol for a device or a concept.

For example, the symbol for an electronic tube is assembled from symbol elements representing the
heater, grid, anode. envelope, etc. When symbol elements are combined in this way their arrangement
is not necessarilv related to the physical structure of the device symbolized.

1.4.3 General symbol

A symdol, usually simple. common to a whole family of items, and characteristic of that family.

1.4.4 Qualifying symbol

A symbol added to another to provide additional information.

Notes 1. - Qualifying symbols cannot normally be used on their own but a general symbol may sometimes be used for
qualifying purposes. Thus the general symbol for a capacitor may be added to that for a microphone to produce
the symbol for a capacitor microphone.
2. - The term “supplementary symbol” has been used in the past with the same meaning as qualifying symbol.

1.4.5 Block symbol

A simple graphical symbol, representing an assembly of items and intended to indicate the function
of the assembly, neither giving details about the items nor taking account of all connections.

Note. - Block symbols are generally used in diagrams where single-line representation is applied. They may also be used in
diagrams with all input and output connections shown.

1.5 Presentation of symbols

The symbols in this standard have been drawn to a size convenient for comprehension, but efforts
have also been made to give them suitable sizes relative to each other. The symbols are laid out in such
a way that the distance between connecting lines is a multiple of a certain modulus. The multiple of the
modulus has been chosen to provide enough space for the usual terminal designations.

In most cases the symbols are directly applicable on a diagram and they can be put on a grid in a
computer-aided draughting system, see Clause 1.8. For the symbols in Part 11, intended to be used on
diagrams based on layout drawings or maps. it may be necessary to adapt the scale to that used on the
drawings and maps.

Although the symbols are presented without a background grid, a grid was used in their preparation.
A transparent overlay with a grla is included in this part of the standard.

Numbering of symbols

Each symbol has a serial number. This number is composed of three groups:

- the first.ani (two digits) is the number of the Dart of the 1EC Publication 617;

- the seeond one (-digits gr one letter and one digit) is the number of the section in the part;

7
fS : 12032 ( Part ? ) - 1987
IEC Pub 617-l (1985 )
- the third one (two digits) is the number of the symbol in the section

Each one of these groups is separated from the next by a hyphen.

In each part the sections are numbered from 01 to 99 or. in the annexes from Al to A9

In each section the symbols are numbered from 01 to 99 consecutively.

Example.

Symbol 5

1.7 Use of symbols

The list of symbol elements, qualifiying symbols and general symbols has been made as complete as
possible, but only a limited number of examples of combined symbols are given. If the symbol for a
particular device or design cannot be found in the standard it should be possible to produce it by an
appropriate combination of the published symbols.

The sizes of symbols relative to one another may be changed to suit the circumstances of a given
diagram or application, for example different symbol sizes are often used for power transformers and
measuring transformers. Also, if a symbol is used to qualify another its size is often reduced. The
relative proportions of the symbols should be retained when they are reduced or enlarged.

Symbols may be turned or mirror-imaged if their meaning will not be changed thereby. The orienta-
tion shown in this standard is not mandatory.

Different line thickness may be used for conductor symbols.

For clarity, symbols are usually shown with connecting lines. Unless otherwise stated the arrange-
ment shown is only one example of the ways in which connecting lines may be drawn.

Supplementary information can be added to most symbols. This standard gives examples of the
practice only in the cases where there is a recommended method for the presentation of such informa-
tion.

1.8 Adaption of symbols to computer-aided draughting systems

In order to facilitate the use of the symbols in this standard with a computer-aided system:

- the symbols have been designed so that they can be used on a grid system with a modulus M. The
modulus used in this standard, 2.5 mm, is not mandatory;

- connecting lines to a symbol coincide with the grid lines and end at grid line intersections;

_ the sides of rectangles and the diameter of circles have been made multiples of 2 M. For smaller
symbols also dimensions equal to 1.5 M, 1 M and 0.5 M have been used;

8
 IS : 12032 ( Part 1 ) - 1987
IEC Pub 617-1 ( 1985 )

- a distance of at least 2 M has been provided between connecting lines to meet the requirements of
ISO-Standard 3098/l-1974: Technical Drawings - Lettering - Part 1: Currently Used Characters, for
a minimum character height of 2.5 mm.

It is an additional requirement of computer-aided systems that each symbol snould have a reference
point located at a grid intersection. Although there is no general rule stating exactly where such a
reference point should be located, the transparent overlay facilitates the selection of a suitable point.

SECTION 2 - GENERAL INDEX

The letter codes for kind of item in the third column of the general index conform with Table I of I EC
Publication 750. However, Clause 2.5 of that publicatibn permits the use of alternative codes depending on
the item’s use. The codes shown in the index are those most commonly used.

APPENDIX A

GRID FOR COMPUTER-AIDED DRAUGHTING SYSTEMS

/ \
Grid lines’preferred for Alternative lines used, for example:
alignment with connecting
lines - if the distance between the connecting
lines is 3 M. 5 M. etc.
_ for reduced size symbols

Reference points are not shown with the symbols in this standard. However, the connecting lines to the
symbols have been drawn to coincide with the grid lines.

To establish a reference point:

- align the cbnnecting lines of the syr@ol with the overlay grid lines, placing grid intersections at the outer
ends of connecting lines;

- select a suitable grid intersection as the reference point.

Examples :

Symbol 04-01-07 Symbol 05-05-02

General symbols and qualifying symbols normally are not shown with connecting lines. The applictition
examples of such symbols may be of assistance in establishing reference points.

Note. - The grid can be found on the inside of the back cover.
