An additional fused-switch pole represents another conductor of a common multipole device.

## What it represents

An additional fused-switch pole represents another conductor of a common multipole device. Each fuse-link and pole needs its terminal and phase identification while the common operating mechanism stays linked.

## How to read it

- A shared device tag should not conceal different fuse ratings on separate conductors.
- 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

- Link parent switch tag
- Identify pole and fuse terminals
- Verify common operation

## Important distinction

A child pole is a CAD representation of a common device, not an extra independently operated fused switch.

## Facts

- Drawing role: Fused circuit
- Representation scope: Functional concept; not an official standard graphic or a product footprint
- Public vendor block reference: HDS21F, VDS21F (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.
