Phase-to-neutral voltmeter selector

This representation identifies selection among phase-to-neutral voltage measurement connections. The meter is connected to the selected phase relative to the documented neutral or reference point. That connection differs from measuring between two phase conductors.

A distinction that matters

Phase-to-neutral and phase-to-phase measurements have different connection paths.

Current transformer

A current transformer produces a secondary current related to the current in its primary conductor. A drawing uses the CT representation to show where current is measured and which metering or protection circuit receives that measurement. It does not, by itself, specify the CT ratio, accuracy class, burden or secondary connection.

A distinction that matters

A CT measures current. A VT measures voltage. Their secondary circuits and isolation/testing arrangements are different.
