What this block does
Separates the assigned metering voltage path from other voltage-transformer secondary circuits.
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 “Metering VT winding” at the input and “Metering voltage circuit” at the output. Metering allocation does not establish accuracy by itself.
What the drawings help you do
Start at the named input: Metering VT winding. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Metering voltage circuit. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

What it represents
Separates the assigned metering voltage path from other voltage-transformer secondary circuits. 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 “Metering VT winding” at the input and “Metering voltage circuit” at the output. Metering allocation does not establish accuracy by itself.
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 metering vt winding.
- Identify the destination and defined state of metering voltage circuit.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: Metering allocation does not establish accuracy by itself.
A distinction that matters
Metering allocation does not establish accuracy by itself. 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.
