What this block does
Applies the documented high-voltage supervision to the station DC bus.
A simple example
In a substation control building, the battery can support breaker trip circuits while the charger AC supply is unavailable. Supervision must identify whether the charger, battery or a downstream feeder is affected. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Battery-bus voltage” at the input and “High-voltage alarm state” at the output. Connected load limits influence the selected threshold.
What the drawings help you do
Start at the named input: Battery-bus voltage. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: High-voltage alarm state. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

What it represents
Applies the documented high-voltage supervision to the station DC bus. A station battery system supplies protection, control and other assigned DC loads through a documented charger and distribution arrangement. Charger output, battery contribution and load distribution are related but separately monitored paths.
In a substation control building, the battery can support breaker trip circuits while the charger AC supply is unavailable. Supervision must identify whether the charger, battery or a downstream feeder is affected. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Battery-bus voltage” at the input and “High-voltage alarm state” at the output. Connected load limits influence the selected threshold.
Identify every source, protective device, isolation boundary and return. Battery capacity, DC fault duty, charging settings and ventilation require the selected battery-system design; illustrative circuits do not establish autonomy. 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: Battery-bus voltage. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
- Follow the named output: High-voltage alarm state. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.
- Connected load limits influence the selected threshold.
- Identify every source, protective device, isolation boundary and return. Battery capacity, DC fault duty, charging settings and ventilation require the selected battery-system design; illustrative circuits do not establish autonomy.
Information to show or reference
- Label the source and connection reference for battery-bus voltage.
- Identify the destination and defined state of high-voltage alarm state.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: Connected load limits influence the selected threshold.
A distinction that matters
Connected load limits influence the selected threshold. 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.
