Side-by-side reference

Understand the difference.

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

PH LOSS

Symbols

Phase-loss monitoring relay

A phase-loss relay supervises the presence of the specified phases in a three-phase system. The drawing identifies the monitored source and output used by control or protection logic.

Drawing use: SLD / Schematic
Application: Metering & protection
Reference family: Manufacturer

A distinction that matters

Phase loss is different from phase reversal or current unbalance.

Symbols

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.
