What this block does
Scales the secondary measurement to the assigned primary-voltage basis.
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 “Measured voltage and ratio” at the input and “Primary-basis voltage quantity” at the output. Scaling does not correct a wiring error.
What the drawings help you do
Start at the named input: Measured voltage and ratio. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Primary-basis voltage quantity. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

What it represents
Scales the secondary measurement to the assigned primary-voltage basis. 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 “Measured voltage and ratio” at the input and “Primary-basis voltage quantity” at the output. Scaling does not correct a wiring error.
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 measured voltage and ratio.
- Identify the destination and defined state of primary-basis voltage quantity.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: Scaling does not correct a wiring error.
A distinction that matters
Scaling does not correct a wiring error. 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.
