Unconnected conductor crossing
An unconnected crossing shows conductors passing across each other in the drawing without an electrical junction.

What it represents
An unconnected crossing shows conductors passing across each other in the drawing without an electrical junction. The wires overlap in the two-dimensional page layout but remain distinct circuits. A gap or bridge/loop makes that distinction visible where the selected drawing convention uses one.
Check both the displayed graphic and the CAD network topology. A crossing must not acquire an unintended junction when drawing segments are moved or edited.
How to read it
- Apply the selected gap or loop convention consistently and check that no connection node is created.
- A gap or bridge is a drafting convention, not a physical cable crossover dimension.
Information to show or reference
- Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
- Apply the selected gap or loop convention consistently and check that no connection node is created.
- Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.
A distinction that matters
A gap or bridge is a drafting convention, not a physical cable crossover dimension.
