What this block does

Shows the auxiliary AC circuit allocated to protection-panel service functions.

A simple example

In a switchroom, the lighting, service sockets, charger input and room cooling may be fed from different auxiliary branches. A source change must preserve the identities of loads that require continuity. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Auxiliary AC board” at the input and “Panel service AC” at the output. Service power differs from protective-relay operating power.

What it represents

Shows the auxiliary AC circuit allocated to protection-panel service functions. An auxiliary AC distribution diagram identifies the supplies serving room services and control-support equipment. Essential, backed-up and ordinary circuits can have different source paths and operating priorities.

Label source, branch protection and load purpose. The arrangement does not establish conductor sizes, protection settings or installation compliance; it links the operating role to the selected equipment schedule. 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: Auxiliary AC board. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
  • Follow the named output: Panel service AC. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.
  • Service power differs from protective-relay operating power.
  • Label source, branch protection and load purpose. The arrangement does not establish conductor sizes, protection settings or installation compliance; it links the operating role to the selected equipment schedule.

Information to show or reference

  • Label the source and connection reference for auxiliary ac board.
  • Identify the destination and defined state of panel service ac.
  • Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
  • Check this application limit in the project design: Service power differs from protective-relay operating power.

A distinction that matters

Service power differs from protective-relay operating power. 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.
