ANSI/IEEE Three-phase AC source form
IEEE-library form of three-phase ac source: a three-phase AC source identifies a documented three-phase supply boundary.
In plain English
What does ANSI/IEEE Three-phase AC source form mean?
This reference locates three-phase ac source in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented miscellaneous family. A three-phase AC source identifies a documented three-phase supply boundary. Its nominal voltage, phase sequence and neutral availability must be stated where the design relies on them. The public library uses HPW1_3PH for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.
A simple example
Use the surrounding circuit labels and the project legend to identify the intended operating condition and connection. Carry the same device reference into the schedule or equipment document so the symbol can be reconciled with its real terminals, function and operating limits.
What the drawings help you do
Locate the source boundary before interpreting upstream ownership or available fault data. Three-phase source designation does not establish an accessible neutral conductor. 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
- Locate the source boundary before interpreting upstream ownership or available fault data.
- 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
- Name supply origin
- State voltage and phase sequence
- Reference neutral/earthing arrangement
A distinction that matters
Three-phase source designation does not establish an accessible neutral conductor.
