SYMBOLS FOR DIAGRAMS

Part 7: Switchgear, controlgear and protective devices

CHAPTER

I: GENERAL

NOTES

I.1

Chapters iI and 111 of this part give preferred symbols for contact units
and switchgear. Each symbol depicts the function of a contact or a
switching device, without necessarily being related to the construction
of the device it represents.

1.2

A small circle, open or filled in, representing

the hinge-point
may be
added to most of the symbols for contacts, switches and controlgear, see
for example

07-02-02.

For clarity this symbol

example 07-02-05.
