Protection functions

AC circuit breaker

Device function number 52 identifies an AC circuit breaker in the power-system device-function convention. It can appear in equipment identification, control references or a protection drawing, but it remains distinct from the graphical symbol and product specification.

Drawing use: SLD / Schematic
Application: Power distribution
Reference family: IEEE / ANSI

A distinction that matters

The number 52 identifies a device function. It is not an IEC graphical-symbol identifier, breaker current rating or manufacturer model.
