Website for standard symbols used on power single line diagrams

Website for standard symbols used on power single line diagrams

(OP)
Can anyone provide a link to a webpage that shows the standard symbols used on a power single line diagram? I'm thinking of one that would be used on transmission and distribution lines - that has the symbols for such as items as voltage regulators, capacitors, oil circuit breakers etc...

I used to have a book entitled "Industrial Power Systems" by Donald Beeman that had 10 pages in the back with every symbol you would ever use. Something like that is what I'm trying to find.

Also, the place I work firewalls Wikipedia, so anything other than that would work. Thanks.

nelstomlinson,

I appreciate what you've linked to here, but from what I can tell this is symbols for motor control elementary 3-line diagrams. And I'll keep it too looks like some good info.

But what I'm looking for is a link for a symbol library to do a power single line diagram: power reactors, rectifiers, voltage regulating transformers, etc...The type of symbols you would show on a power study.

RE: Website for standard symbols used on power single line diagrams

A university level text book should do?  Most symbols are common across the industry, but some are may be used in house as well.

If you have an IEEE subscription:

IEEE Std 315-1975 (Reaffirmed 1993) - Graphic Symbols for Electrical and Electronics Diagrams (Including Reference Designation Letters)

See it's hard to find a free website with those symbols. Unfortunately I've let my IEEE membership lapse...

Go here and download 1724-D  Design Guide for Rural Substations.  Symbols start around page 65.
