Electronic symbol. Help identify a standard

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on identifying the standards for an electric symbol used in various graphical representations, specifically referencing IEC 60617 and IEEE 315. The user seeks clarification on the standard for a particular symbol (d) that has been encountered frequently, particularly in Germany and China since the 1980s. The conversation highlights the evolution of this symbol from ASCII artwork to modern vector graphics, emphasizing the need for specific normative documents to accurately identify the symbol's origin.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of IEC 60617 standards for graphical symbols.
  • Familiarity with IEEE 315 standards for electrical symbols.
  • Knowledge of CAD software and its role in symbol representation.
  • Awareness of international standards for electrical symbols, including ANSI.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the IEC 60617 standard for graphical symbols in electrical engineering.
  • Explore IEEE 315 to understand its application in electrical symbol representation.
  • Investigate the historical context of electrical symbols used in CAD software.
  • Examine ANSI standards for electrical symbols to compare with IEC and IEEE standards.
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, CAD designers, and professionals involved in creating or interpreting electrical schematics will benefit from this discussion, particularly those seeking to understand international standards for electrical symbols.

Sorry for my English.
I write with the help of a translator from google.
Please help determine what standards of a graphic symbol electric (number of the standard paragraph, the part number)?

In one book in Russia were given 4 image transformer (for drawing in the U.S. and Europe).

Аnd did not specify what kind of where taken.
Simply written: IEC (DIN) and IEEE (ANSI)
After learning standards, I thought:
(a) and (b) - IEC 60617
(c) - IEEE 315

Question: Which standards use (d) picture?
In general, I met this image more than once
Here is an example I only found today
site http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/splan.html
program SPLAN 7 demo
screenshot of the program
01_3AEF62CC-5056-8D7B-057570C523D1A765.jpg

as we see again used this image

in general it is a matter of principle to figure out how this symbol electric :)
I was told that in 1980 ~ such drawing employed in Germany and now in China.
Admittedly this was associated with the use of ASCII artwork "graphics"
Well, when CAD ​​has evolved and it symbol "crossed over" into a modern look
(ASCII artwork "graphics" --> vector graphics)

Help me find a figure emerged from the character and what the normative document is written?

Unfortunately there is numerous symbology standards depending on which country you live in. I can provide you with a pdf of the IEC standard. may help google ansi symbols or IEC 60617. However Ansi symbols may also pull up links
