# IEC protective circuit-breaker form: 1 pole auto switch with magneto Canonical URL: https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/iec-protective-circuit-breaker-form-1-pole-auto-switch-with-magneto Publisher: Elora Grid Updated: 2026-10-28 Lookup label: CB Drawing use: Schematic Reference families: IEC, Manufacturer ## Symbol convention Convention: IEC Form: 1 Pole Auto Switch with Magneto Autodesk IEC-60617 Symbol Preview: 1 Pole Circuit Breakers, HCB11Q146 / VCB11Q146. This identifies the publisher's library context; exact IEC graphics and database identities are not asserted. Protective circuit-breaker form form: 1 Pole Auto Switch with Magneto. ## In plain English ### What does IEC protective circuit-breaker form: 1 pole auto switch with magneto mean? The breaker form combines a switching element with named automatic release functions. Thermal, magnetic, residual-current and undervoltage indications describe different operating causes; their presence must be read individually rather than treating every breaker as having the same protection. This entry identifies the 1 pole auto switch with magneto form in the publisher's IEC-context family. ### A simple example On a feeder schematic, use the release indications to explain which measured condition can open the device. Put the selected trip settings, pole arrangement and supply dependencies in the equipment schedule and protection study, with the same breaker tag on both documents. ### What the drawings help you do The illustration does not specify an interrupting rating, trip curve, selectivity or isolation certification. An undervoltage release is also different from a shunt-trip coil: the condition that causes release must remain explicit. ### This particular reference Protective circuit-breaker form form: 1 Pole Auto Switch with Magneto. This entry adds the 1 pole auto switch with magneto detail to the broader protective circuit-breaker form family. The illustration does not specify an interrupting rating, trip curve, selectivity or isolation certification. An undervoltage release is also different from a shunt-trip coil: the condition that causes release must remain explicit. ### Terms - Coil: A wound conductor that can produce a magnetic field when energised. - Rating: A value stating the conditions for which equipment is specified. - Schematic: A drawing showing function and connections rather than physical appearance. Concept diagram: Identify the device and form → Read the connections and state → Check the equipment reference A guide to reading this reference. The original symbol illustration and its drawing notes appear below; these boxes are not a wiring diagram. - [Circuit-breaker symbol variants](https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/AutoCAD-Electrical/files/GUID-DB1548A3-A4D3-47E5-86AC-37000DC57D80.htm) ## What it represents The breaker form combines a switching element with named automatic release functions.

The illustration does not specify an interrupting rating, trip curve, selectivity or isolation certification. An undervoltage release is also different from a shunt-trip coil: the condition that causes release must remain explicit. ## Facts - Drawing form: 1 Pole Auto Switch with Magneto - Public vendor block names: HCB11Q146 / VCB11Q146.
