IEEE-library form of phase-to-phase voltmeter selector: this representation identifies selection among phase-to-phase voltage measurement connections.

## In plain English

### What does ANSI/IEEE Phase-to-phase voltmeter selector form mean?

This reference locates phase-to-phase voltmeter selector in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented miscellaneous switches family. This representation identifies selection among phase-to-phase voltage measurement connections. The selector connects the meter to the documented line-to-line measurement pairs at its operating positions. It is a measurement interface, not the power switching device of the three-phase circuit. The public library uses HSW1S90 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

### A simple example

Read the operating mechanism and the contact reference state together. Cross-reference every associated contact to the same device and show which movement, signal or reset changes its condition; the symbol alone does not establish the complete switching sequence.

### What the drawings help you do

Provide the actual contact programme and measurement position labels. Identify any instrument-transformer secondary circuits that feed the selector. Document the selector position table and the meter connection. A measurement selector must not be mistaken for a three-phase power isolator. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.
