Understand the difference.

Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.

HVR1R8

IEEE / ANSI

ANSI/IEEE Carbon-disc variable resistor form

This reference locates carbon-disc variable resistor in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented resistive components family. This representation identifies the publisher's carbon-disc variable-resistance form. The publisher identifies a variable resistive form using carbon discs as part of its operating construction. That identifies a component principle without assigning a resistance law or power rating. The public library uses HVR1R8 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

Variable Resistor with Carbon Disks. Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Resistive Components, block HVR1R8. Matching functional counterpart linked separately. Independently drawn educational geometry; not a certified IEEE glyph or database identifier.

A distinction that matters

The material/mechanism indication is distinct from a generic electronic potentiometer.
