Phase-to-phase voltmeter selector

This representation identifies selection among phase-to-phase voltage measurement connections. The selector connects the meter to the documented line-to-line measurement pairs at its operating positions. It is a measurement interface, not the power switching device of the three-phase circuit.

A distinction that matters

A measurement selector must not be mistaken for a three-phase power isolator.

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.
