Understand the difference.

Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.

IEEE / ANSI

ANSI/IEEE three-winding transformer symbol

The three-winding transformer form represents three coupled winding circuits with separately documented ratings. Each circuit must remain identifiable where one winding supplies a tertiary load, auxiliary circuit or another specified duty.

Form evidence

Autodesk IEEE-oriented Transformers functional form. Autodesk explicitly publishes this block under IEEE Symbol Preview. The counterpart is the matching functional concept; no equivalence of every detailed standard graphic is asserted.

A distinction that matters

Three windings are different from three phase conductors belonging to one winding set.

Symbols

Three-winding transformer

A three-winding transformer couples three windings through its magnetic system. Each winding has its own voltage, connection and loading information, so a third winding must remain visible in the drawing and equipment schedule.

A distinction that matters

A third winding is different from a tap on a single winding.
