Switchgear Electrical Diagrams

The bulletin provides a description of the standards used in the preparation of the electrical diagrams furnished with each switchgear assembly. These standards are essential to those who must interpret and apply these diagrams. Its scope is to define and explain the following types of electrical diagrams, one or more of which are furnished for each switchgear assembly. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Single Line Diagram Elementary Diagram Schematic Diagram Connection Diagram Interconnection Diagram (d) Letters that describe distinguishing characteristics appear below the device function number. Each device function designation, in individual equipment, shall have only one meaning. Furthermore, the meaning shall be clearly defined in the legend applying to the equipment. 3. Ratings of auxiliary devices, such as fuses and resistors, appear adjacent to the symbol for the device (see Fig. C). 4. Numbers are assigned to the terminals of a device and ordinarily appear to the left of or below the graphic symbol for the device (see Fig. D). These numbers conform to those on the device internal diagram, where furnished. 5. Connections to remote equipment are indicated by a small circle and a designation (see Fig. E). The designation is derived from the connection diagram code as explained under "Connection Diagram." 6. Terminals available for external connections are depicted separately and indicate the physical relationship of the terminals, the phase or polarity of leads, and other pertinent information (see Fig. F).

SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM (See Fig. 1, Page 3) A single line diagram is one that indicates, by means of single lines and simplified symbols, the route and component devices or parts of an electric circuit or system of circuits. Physical relationships are usually disregarded. Single line diagrams for switchgear are usually prepared in conjunction with the Front View Drawings. They are useful in showing the overall relationship between component devices and circuits, and between circuits. Where applicable, devices are designated by the "American Standard Device Function Numbers," or standard abbreviations. ELEMENTARY AND SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS (See Figs. 2 & 3, Page 3) An elementary diagram shows the main power circuits and their component device elements. A schematic diagram shows the control circuits. These diagrams emphasize the electrical relationship and sequence of the circuits, therefore, the physical location of devices may be disregarded. The individual elements of a device, such as coils and contacts, are shown without regard to their physical relationship. Circuits are generally drawn in the most direct possible line between opposite polarities of voltage sources, and circuits that function inherently in a definite sequence are arranged to indicate that sequence. The standards used in the preparation of elementary and schematic diagrams are as follows: 1. Graphic symbols, a few of which are illustrated in Fig. A, are used to represent devices, auxiliary devices, and device elements including contacts. All contacts are shown in the deenergized or non-operated position of the main device. Contacts of devices that operate in response to other than electrical quantities (level, flow, speed, etc.) are shown in the position they assume when the quantities to which they respond are at their lowest value. Contacts of devices that have no de-energized or non-operated position are shown with sufficient information on the diagram to describe the conditions under which the contacts close. 2. Device function designations, which appear adjacent to the graphic symbols (see Fig. B), are assigned to each device, auxiliary device, and device element, as follows: (a) "American Standard Device Function Numbers" are assigned to devices and device elements, where applicable. (See Page 2) (b) Standard abbreviations are assigned to devices not covered under (a). (See page 4) (c) Device function numbers with appropriate suffix letters are assigned to auxiliary devices and their elements.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM (See Figs. 4 & 5) A connection diagram shows the connections of an installation or its component devices and equipment. It contains such detail as is required to make the connections that are involved. It shows the general physical arrangement of devices and accessory items, such as terminal blocks, resistors, etc. The connection diagram is useful where the general physical relationship of connections, devices and accessory items is the principal consideration. Where the tracing of circuits through the various device elements is the principal consideration, the elementary or schematic diagram should be used. The standards used in the preparation of a connection diagram are as follows: 1. Devices are indicated by designations which are derived from the following: Each unit of a switchgear assembly is sub-divided into general areas. Each general area is assigned a specific letter. These specific letter assignments are described in the "Connection Diagram Code." This letter appears as the first letter in each device designation. Special switchgear assemblies may require additional general area designations. In these cases, the letters assigned will be described under "Notes" on the connection diagram for the specific switchgear assembly involved. Each device within a general area is assigned a second letter. This letter is assigned alphabetically in an arbitrary sequence determined by the peculiarities of each general area. A few letters may remain unassigned to permit the addition of future equipment. After all the letters in the alphabet are assigned, a third letter, X, Y or Z is added as a suffix, AX, BX, etc. Referring to Fig. 4 as an example, the devices mounted on the panel are designated PA, PB, etc.; the row of terminal blocks mounted on the left side sheet of the instrument compartment is designated LA. 2. The terminals or studs on a device are assigned numbers that conform with the numbers on the device internal diagram, which are furnished. 3. Connections are indicated by designations derived from the device designation followed by the terminal or stud number. Refer to Fig. 4 as an example; the wire connecting terminal #1 on terminal block "LA," to terminal #6 on device "PE", is designated on the terminal block as connecting to "PE6," and on device "PE" (in the terminal number assignment) as connecting to "LA1." Connections between terminals on the same device are usually shown in full; designations are not required for these connections. 4. A device function number or abbreviation shall always appear above or to the left of the device. A device designation shall always appear below or to the right of the device. 5. Bill of material piece numbers for devices mounted inside the unit shall be shown encircled on the connection diagram (see piece 14, Fig. 4). Bill of material piece numbers for devices mounted on the instrument panel, however, shall be shown on the Front View Drawing. 6. Interconnections between equipment units are indicated by designations that are derived from the connection designation prefixed by the unit number and the use of an interconnection symbol. Refer to Fig. 4 as an example; the wire connecting from terminal #8 on the terminal block "LA" in unit No. 2, to terminal #6 on the terminal block "AA" in unit No. 3, is designated "3AA6" in unit No. 2, and "2LA8" in unit No. 3. Where the above method does not lend itself to manufacturing procedures, a separate interconnection diagram as defined below, may be furnished. INTERCONNECTION DIAGRAM An interconnection diagram shows the complete internal connections between equipment units. The internal connections of the individual units may be omitted. Interconnections between equipment units are indicated by designations that are derived from the connection designation, prefixed by the unit number as described under "Connection Diagram," paragraph 6, with the exception that the interconnection symbol is not shown on the interconnection diagram. The interconnection symbol will appear, however, on the connection diagram as an indication that there is a continuation of the circuit on the interconnection diagram.

These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation, or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchasers purpose the matter should be referred to the nearest District Office.
