    Schematic Symbols
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around clarifying various schematic symbols for a newbie. Key symbols include "M" for motor, "C" potentially for clock, and "EG" possibly representing an emergency generator. There is also a question about the current rating of a circuit breaker, specifically if 250A refers to that rating. The conversation highlights the importance of context, suggesting that a full schematic would provide better clarity on the symbols used. Understanding these symbols is crucial for interpreting one-line diagrams effectively.

Help a newbie with schematic symbols ^_^"

Hey all!

Im kinda stucked here with these symbols. Does anyone have any idea?

1. I think its a terminal, but I am not that sure, since it is connected to a circuit-breaker (which is connected to a transformator)

2. Just to clarify, is 250A the current rating of the circuit breaker?

3. What does this "M" stand for?

4. What does this "C" stand for?

5. What does this "12 of" stand for?

6. "EG" ?

Thanks a lot for all the help! ;)

Welcome to PF.

These symbols appear to be those used in "one-line/single-line diagrams".

M = motor
C = clock?
EG = emergency generator?

I would want to see the full schematic to know for sure.

I haven't seen a lot of these, but I'm not that experienced either. The * i have seen as some type of off-page connectors before though.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
