What it represents

A feed-through terminal provides an electrical connection between conductors assigned to the same terminal path. The schematic identifies connectivity; the terminal plan adds physical position and conductor details.

How to read it

  • Check whether wire numbering changes across the terminal under the project's convention.
  • 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

  • State terminal identifier
  • Show both connected conductors
  • Reference terminal-strip position

A distinction that matters

A feed-through path is different from an intentional disconnect point.
