Three-wire ultrasonic sensor

This representation distinguishes a three-wire ultrasonic sensor interface from a simple contact depiction.

Drawing use: Schematic
Application: Metering & protection
Reference family: IEC / Manufacturer
Form evidence: Three-wire ultrasonic sensor. Autodesk IEC-60617 Symbol Preview — Ultrasonic switch forms; vendor family reference, not certified IEC geometry or database identifier.

A distinction that matters

Three wires do not determine whether the output is sourcing, sinking or a particular voltage.

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.

Drawing use: SLD / Schematic
Application: Metering & protection
Reference family: IEC / IEEE / ANSI

A distinction that matters

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