What this block does
Identifies the line-side voltage supplied to the assigned synchronising measurement.
A simple example
In a substation bay, one voltage circuit can feed protection while a separately identified winding supplies metering. A voltage-selection circuit must make clear which bus or line measurement is being used. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Line-side VT signal” at the input and “Synchronising voltage input” at the output. Both sides require identified references.
What the drawings help you do
Start at the named input: Line-side VT signal. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Synchronising voltage input. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

What it represents
Identifies the line-side voltage supplied to the assigned synchronising measurement. A voltage-transformer secondary arrangement connects a defined primary voltage measurement to protection, metering or control inputs. Winding identity, fuse protection and the voltage reference must remain visible across the drawing.
In a substation bay, one voltage circuit can feed protection while a separately identified winding supplies metering. A voltage-selection circuit must make clear which bus or line measurement is being used. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Line-side VT signal” at the input and “Synchronising voltage input” at the output. Both sides require identified references.
Show the primary measurement point, secondary connection, protective devices and relay reference. A missing measurement can resemble a real system disturbance unless the voltage-circuit health is supervised appropriately. 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.

Information to show or reference
- Label the source and connection reference for line-side vt signal.
- Identify the destination and defined state of synchronising voltage input.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: Both sides require identified references.
A distinction that matters
Both sides require identified references. 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.
