Electrical Schematic Diagrams - Guide

Product Data A Global Reference Guide for Reading Schematic Diagrams
General. With the increasing emphasis on globalization, many industries are now looking to all parts of the world to produce, market and sell their products. Electrical manufacturers are no exception. Since the electrical standards adopted by various nations may vary, the markings and symbols used to describe electrical control products can also vary. Whether it is a complex control system on a machine tool or a simple across-the-line motor starter, the need to recognize and understand these symbols becomes more important. It is possible that products from all parts of the world are being used in any one facility. The purpose of this document is to provide a simple cross-reference of common schematic/wiring diagram symbols used throughout various parts of the world. The graphical symbols were taken from the following standards: BS 3939. CENELEC EN 50 013. DIN 40700 to 40717. EEMAC E14-3. IEC 617-1 to 617-8. NEMA ICS 1.
The following tables describe the device and show the symbol by area of usage.
