ANSI/IEEE Minimum-voltage measuring relay form

IEEE-library form of minimum-voltage measuring relay: measuring relay that operates when voltage falls below a set level while some voltage is still present.

In plain English

What does ANSI/IEEE Minimum-voltage measuring relay form mean?

This reference locates minimum-voltage measuring relay in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented voltage protection relays family. The minimum-voltage relay form operates when the measured voltage falls below its setting. It is used for motor undervoltage tripping, load shedding and transfer schemes, where a sustained voltage dip indicates a supply problem rather than a momentary disturbance. The public library uses HCR1F35 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

The symbol shows the voltage quantity and the less-than threshold but not the time delay, which phases are monitored or whether operation is blocked on VT fuse failure. Without a blocking input a blown VT fuse can cause an unwanted trip, so the supervision arrangement should be cross-referenced. Check which phase voltages are monitored. A minimum-voltage relay responds to a reduced voltage; a loss-of-voltage relay responds to absence of voltage. 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

  • Check which phase voltages are monitored.
  • Look for VT supervision or fuse-failure blocking.

Information to show or reference

  • State threshold and delay
  • Show VT source
  • Reference blocking input

A distinction that matters

A minimum-voltage relay responds to a reduced voltage; a loss-of-voltage relay responds to absence of voltage.
