An AC relay coil is intended for a specified alternating-current control supply.

## What it represents

An AC relay coil is intended for a specified alternating-current control supply. Voltage and frequency form part of its coil rating and cannot be inferred from the relay tag.

## How to read it

- Identify the actual control-supply frequency and voltage.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

## Information to show or reference

- State coil voltage and frequency
- Label coil terminals
- Link contact references

## Important distinction

AC coil suitability does not mean its contacts can switch every AC or DC load.

## Facts

- Drawing role: Relay operation
- Representation scope: Functional concept; not an official standard graphic or a product footprint
- Public vendor block reference: HCR1AC, VCR1AC (Autodesk identifiers; not IEC symbol numbers)
- Identifier status: The short label is a functional lookup label, not an assigned IEC or IEEE symbol number. Any separately listed Autodesk code is a verified vendor block name.
