What this block does
Represents the defined delay or support circuit associated with an undervoltage release.
A simple example
In a medium-voltage switchgear drawing, the operating reference helps the reader distinguish the interrupting device from its isolation, earthing and auxiliary-control interfaces. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Supply disturbance and support circuit” at the input and “Documented delayed release” at the output. Permitted delay must follow the selected release unit.
What the drawings help you do
Start at the named input: Supply disturbance and support circuit. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Documented delayed release. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

What it represents
Represents the defined delay or support circuit associated with an undervoltage release. A switching-device operating reference adds the specific mechanism or duty context needed to interpret its place in a power circuit. The same basic switching outline can serve different equipment constructions, so the added description must remain attached to its device tag.

For this reference, the drawing identifies “Supply disturbance and support circuit” at the input and “Documented delayed release” at the output. Permitted delay must follow the selected release unit.
Use the device schedule for its actual construction, operating duty and ratings. These original functional illustrations describe the named role and do not certify a standard glyph or product footprint. The functional block is an independent explanation of this named application. Equipment-specific ratings, terminal connections and operating conditions must be established in the project documentation.
How to read it
- Start at the named input: Supply disturbance and support circuit. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
- Follow the named output: Documented delayed release. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.
- Permitted delay must follow the selected release unit.
- Use the device schedule for its actual construction, operating duty and ratings. These original functional illustrations describe the named role and do not certify a standard glyph or product footprint.
Information to show or reference
- Label the source and connection reference for supply disturbance and support circuit.
- Identify the destination and defined state of documented delayed release.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: Permitted delay must follow the selected release unit.
A distinction that matters
Permitted delay must follow the selected release unit. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.
