IEEE-library form of relay coil with capacitor suppression: a relay with a capacitor suppression element includes a documented capacitive network associated with the coil.

## In plain English

### What does ANSI/IEEE Relay coil with capacitor suppression form mean?

This reference locates relay coil with capacitor suppression in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented relays with suppression family. A relay with a capacitor suppression element includes a documented capacitive network associated with the coil. Its connection and effect on switching are product-dependent. The public library uses HCR1K37 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

### A simple example

Trace the measured quantity or initiating control signal separately from the output contacts. The device tag links the sensing or operating element to the controlled circuit; settings, reset behaviour and the actual terminal arrangement belong in the selected equipment documentation.

### What the drawings help you do

Check the coil voltage type and suppression configuration before substituting a relay assembly. Capacitor suppression is different from the coil's operating function and from a motor run capacitor. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.

### This particular reference

IEEE-library form of relay coil with capacitor suppression: a relay with a capacitor suppression element includes a documented capacitive network associated with the coil. Capacitor suppression is different from the coil's operating function and from a motor run capacitor.

### Terms

- Normally open / normally closed: The contact state in the normal condition defined for the drawing.
- Coil: A wound conductor that can produce a magnetic field when energised.
- Terminal: An identified point where a conductor connects.
