American & European Electrical Symbols

American & European Electrical Symbols

American & European Electrical Symbols

(OP)
Has any one seen a chart, download, or website that shows a comparison of American and European Electrical Symbols? (I have looked almost everywhere) I have also searched the AutoCAD site, but it does not have what I'm looking for.

I have taken on a very large control design project and the American customer wants all drawings in a European style, but in English. It would be great if I could find a template to use proportional for this type of numbering scheme and maybe some symbols to download.

Any help greatly appreciated

RE: American & European Electrical Symbols

I've done drawings for UK customers before and they didn't seem to complain at all when I used all JIC symbols. The only thing that I had to do was scale the drawings to a metric scale for them when it was all finished. If you want to download the JIC symbols I used, you can download them here:

Good luck!
