What it represents

The AC relay operating form belongs to a specified alternating-current control supply. Its coil rating includes the applicable voltage and frequency; contact ratings are a separate specification and may concern a different circuit.

This is a convention-specific lookup based on the publisher's IEEE-labelled preview. The geometry here is independently drawn to explain the connection or operation; it is not a certified reproduction of the standard graphic.

How to read it

  • Identify the AC control source feeding the coil.
  • Read the selected library and the project legend together. A vendor block identifier is meaningful within its named library and is not a universal standard-symbol code.

Information to show or reference

  • State coil voltage/frequency
  • Show terminal pair
  • Link contact references

A distinction that matters

AC coil suitability does not establish a contact's permitted DC switching duty.

About this graphic

This illustration was authored independently by Elora Grid to explain the concept. It is not reproduced from a customer drawing, an official standard graphic or a manufacturer CAD file. Its correspondence to an exact IEC or IEEE symbol identifier has not been certified.

SVG and DXF downloads contain this original artwork. DXF uses unscaled drawing units; a GA envelope supplies no product dimensions, clearances or fabrication information. Original artwork is available under CC BY 4.0. Third-party references retain their own terms.
