IEC Pack — Electrical Wiring Devices 1.7

General description

As general standards, International Standards used in European and many other countries are applied.

• Names of Wiring Devices and their graphic representations (Symbols) based on IEC 60617¹. General view of the configurable symbol set: switches, dimmers, changeover switches, certain types of power and telecommunication sockets
  ,
  indication of the number of poles , text , other equipment and devices , indicator (lamp) , symbols rotated by 180° (Type C) , reduced symbols and rotated reduced symbols ^{IEC symbol group, G (GOST) group}

• Enclosure classification according to the IP rating based on IEC 60529²

• By default, the following settings are used: a modular frame with a 71 mm cell pitch; for flush mounting — standard mounting boxes ⌀68×45 mm; for surface mounting — a single box following the enclosure contour.

• The set includes the following standard types of power socket connectors permitted for use in various European and other countries depending on national standards:^{Types of Two-Pole Power Sockets}

  C , A/C , E ^FR , F ^DE , H ^IL , J ^CH ,
  K ^DK , L ^IT,CL , L 10/16A ^IT , N ^BR,ZA

  ^{The IEC pack also includes the entire GOST pack, which pays special attention to the standards of the CIS countries that use regional SNIP and GOST standards.}

By default, the names listed in the table on the “Mechanism Names” tab are used. If it is necessary to switch the names to standard electrical terminology, household (commercial) terminology, more detailed names, or names in another language, the Wiring Devices object provides a feature for batch renaming of all mechanisms using a list file.

Electrical Symbols

Symbols in the context of the GDLfragments Wiring Devices 1.7 library are a group of .gsm files that the user assigns to each mechanism or device as a general symbol. Depending on the selected mechanism, the “Electrical Wiring Device” object places the corresponding symbols on the plan. Mechanisms can use two symbols: for surface-mounted, and for flush-mounted installations. The switching occurs automatically based on the selected installation type. For convenience, the Symbol Sets by kit and the symbol file index matching tables are provided below, which should be considered when configuring your own symbol sets.
