What this block does

Identifies the winding connection used to provide the assigned residual-voltage 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 “Residual winding connections” at the input and “Residual-voltage output” at the output. Residual measurement depends on the winding arrangement.

What the drawings help you do

Start at the named input: Residual winding connections. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Residual-voltage output. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

What it represents

Identifies the winding connection used to provide the assigned residual-voltage 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 “Residual winding connections” at the input and “Residual-voltage output” at the output. Residual measurement depends on the winding arrangement.

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.

How to read it

  • Start at the named input: Residual winding connections. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
  • Follow the named output: Residual-voltage output. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.
  • Residual measurement depends on the winding arrangement.
  • 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.

Information to show or reference

  • Label the source and connection reference for residual winding connections.
  • Identify the destination and defined state of residual-voltage output.
  • Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
  • Check this application limit in the project design: Residual measurement depends on the winding arrangement.

A distinction that matters

Residual measurement depends on the winding arrangement. 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.
