Symbols have been designed in accordance with
requirements given in the future ISO 11714-11). The
module size M = 2,5 mm has been used. For better
readability smaller symbols in this standard have
been enlarged to double size and are
marked “200 %” in the symbol column. To save
space larger symbols have been reduced to half size
and are marked “50 %” in the symbol column. In
accordance with the future ISO 11714-1, clause 7,
symbol dimensions (for instance height) may be
modified in order to make space for a greater
number of terminals or for other layout
requirements. In all cases, whether the size is
enlarged or reduced, or dimensions modified, the
thickness of the original line should be maintained
without scaling.

8.1 The general symbol for a machine (06-04-01) should be used to represent an
asynchronous machine, if no external connections to the rotor exist, for
example in a squirrel cage motor. An inner circle, representing the rotor,
should be shown in those cases where external connections to the rotor
exist, see for example symbol 06-08-03.

Chapitre III: Transformateurs et inductances
1 Deux formes de symboles sont données pour un même type de transformateur:
— En forme 1: Chaque enroulement est représenté par un cercle. Cette
utilisation est de préférence limitée à la représentation unifilaire. Les
symboles des noyaux de transformateurs ne sont pas utilisés dans cette
forme.
— En forme 2: Chaque enroulement est représenté par le symbole 04-03-01.
On peut différencier entre certains enroulements par le nombre de
demi-cercles.
2 La note 2 du symboles 04-03-01 est applicable à la représentation du noyau
d’un transformateur.
3 Dans les symboles de transformateurs de courant ou d’impulsion, des traits
droits peuvent être utilisés pour représenter des enroulements primaires. Voir
section 13.
4 La CEI 375 donne une méthode permettant d’indiquer la correspondance entre
les polarités instantanées des tensions de circuits électriques couplés. Comme
exemple d’application, voir symbole 06-09-03.

Chapter III: Transformers and reactors
1 Two forms of symbols are shown for the same type of transformer:
— Form 1 uses a circle to represent each winding. Its use is preferably
restricted to single-line representation. Symbols for transformer cores are
not used with this form.
— Form 2 uses symbol 04-03-01 to represent each winding. The number of
half-circles may be varied to differentiate between certain windings.
2 For the representation of transformer cores, see Note 2 with symbol 04-03-01.
3 In the case of symbols for current and pulse transformers, straight lines,
representing primary windings may be used with either form.
See Section 13.
4 IEC 375 gives a method of indicating the instantaneous voltage polarities of
coupled electric circuits. For an example of application, see symbol 06-09-03.

| Revisions
|
|
| British Standards are updated by amendment or revision. Users of British Standards
|
| should make sure that they possess the latest amendments or editions.
|
|
| It is the constant aim of BSI to improve the quality of our products and services. We
