Electrical Symbols — Qualifying

There are several national and international standards for graphical symbols in circuit diagrams, in particular:

• IEC 60617 (also known as British Standard BS 3939)
• IEEE Std 91/91a
• ANSI standard Y32 (also known as IEEE Std 315)
• Australian Standard AS 1102

Pic. 3. Electrical Symbols — Qualifying

Most of the electrical symbols can be changed in their appearance, styles and colors according to users' requirements. Electrical symbols are used to represent various electrical and electronic devices in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit.

The following table lists some qualifying electrical symbols in our electrical diagram software.

A qualifying symbol is graphics or text added to the basic outline of a device’s logic symbol to describe the physical or logical characteristics of the device.

How to Create an Electrical Diagram Using Qualifying Library

• Open ConceptDraw DIAGRAM v12 new document page.
• Select libraries from Electrical Engineering section.

  

• There are a few different ways to place an object into your drawing:

  • Click on an object and then click on the document, at the place you want the object to be inserted.
  • Perform a drag-and-drop from the library to your document.
  • Double click on an object’s icon in the library to place an object in the center of your document.
• Select the Smart Connector tool . To connect elements using this tool, drag the connector from one connect dot to another.You can use Layers to place connections on different layers.
• Result: Electrical Diagram.
