Understand the difference.

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

ISB

Symbols

Indication-lamp supply branch

Shows the separately identified power path serving local operating indications. Control power supplies the command, protection and indication equipment associated with a switchgear assembly. The drawing must distinguish the source, each distribution branch and the functions lost if that branch fails.

A distinction that matters

Lamp darkness alone does not prove an open breaker. 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.

Coil

Symbols

Relay coil

A relay coil represents an operating element that changes the state of associated contacts when the device operates. Coil and contact representations are often drawn in different locations to make the circuit easier to read. Their shared identifier and cross-references establish the relationship.

A distinction that matters

A relay coil is not a contactor power pole. Similar operating-element marks can represent equipment with different switching duties.
