ANSI/IEEE Measuring relay form
IEEE-library form of measuring relay: a measuring relay responds to a measured electrical quantity and issues an output according to its configuration.
In plain English
What does ANSI/IEEE Measuring relay form mean?
This reference locates measuring relay in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented relays and contacts family. A measuring relay responds to a measured electrical quantity and issues an output according to its configuration. Measurement inputs, auxiliary supply and output contacts may be separate terminal groups. The public library uses HCR1MSR for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.
A simple example
Trace the measured quantity or initiating control signal separately from the output contacts. The device tag links the sensing or operating element to the controlled circuit; settings, reset behaviour and the actual terminal arrangement belong in the selected equipment documentation.
What the drawings help you do
Identify the measured quantity before tracing the output contact logic. A measuring relay is not simply a coil powered by the same quantity it measures. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.

How to read it
- Identify the measured quantity before tracing the output contact logic.
- 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
- Label measured input
- State auxiliary supply
- Reference threshold or setting record
A distinction that matters
A measuring relay is not simply a coil powered by the same quantity it measures.
