Version 6.5 of the Electrical Symbol Library contains over 1400 symbols, all of which comply with the ANSI Y32.2, or IEC 617 standards.
The Electrical ANSI Y32.2 library includes bells, buzzers, horns, signal lights, capacitors, resistors, disconnects, fuses and circuit breakers along with pressure, limit, float and pull cord switches. Relay coils, contacts, timers, and a wide range of 1, 2, & 3 pole combination starters are included. Induction and commutator motor symbols, transformers, logic elements and a small selection of solid state devices and a wide range of selector switches, complete with optional cam tables, are provided. Brief descriptions have been assigned to the symbols in the sidebar menu, wherever possible.
The Electrical IEC 617 library includes the majority of symbols contained in the following parts:
Part 2 (Symbol Elements)
Part 3 (Conductors and connecting devices)
Part 4 (Passive components{resistors, capacitors, inductors etc})
Part 5 (Semiconductors)
Part 6 (Production and conversion of electrical energy)
Part 7 (Switchgear, control gear and protective devices)
Part 8 (Measuring instruments, lamps and signaling devices
Since the IEC 617 Standard is metric, all symbols have been drawn to fit on ISO sized drawings. If required, the symbols can be inserted into ANSI sized drawings and then scaled down. Brief descriptions have been assigned to the symbols.
The symbols are accurately drawn on Layer 0 with a snap value of 0.2 (2.0) and a grid setting of 0.4 (8.0), depending upon the choice of Imperial or (Metric) sized drawing sheets.
Alternate partial menus are provided for use with more recent releases of AutoCAD, starting with AutoCAD R13.c4 and AutoCAD LT95. These menus are preferred, since they do not interfere with any prior menu customization and toolbar settings. They can also be used with other Autodesk products, such as Mechanical Desktop.
