Symbols Explanation
< Less than:
Used to indicate an “under” threshold, such as undercurrent (current dropout).
> Greater than:
Used to indicate an “over” threshold, such as overcurrent (current overload)
& Logical “AND”:
Used in logic diagrams to show an AND-gate function.
1 Logical “OR”:
Used in logic diagrams to show an OR-gate function.
o
A small circle on the input or output of a logic gate:
Indicates a NOT (invert) function.
52a A circuit breaker closed auxiliary contact:
The contact is in the same state as the breaker primary contacts.
52b A circuit breaker open auxiliary contact:
The contact is in the opposite state to the breaker primary contacts.
“Sigma”:
Used to indicate a summation, such as cumulative current interrupted.
“Tau”:
Used to indicate a time constant, often associated with thermal characteristics.
