The one-line diagram has its largest application in power flow studies. Electrical elements such as circuit breakers, transformers, capacitors, bus bars, and conductors are shown by standardized schematic symbols. [2] Instead of representing each of three phases with a separate line or terminal, only one conductor is represented.
Transformer. In electrical engineering, a transformer is a passive component that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit, or multiple circuits. A varying current in any coil of the transformer produces a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core, which induces a varying electromotive force (EMF) across ...
Electronic symbol. An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit. These symbols are largely standardized internationally today, but may vary from country to country ...
An autotransformer has a single winding with two end terminals and one or more terminals at intermediate tap points. It is a transformer in which the primary and secondary coils have part of their turns in common. The portion of the winding shared by both the primary and secondary is the common section. The portion of the winding not shared by ...
A "transformer bank", widely used in North America: three single-phase transformers connected to make a 3-phase transformer. The low-voltage secondary windings are attached to three or four terminals on the transformer's side. In North American residences and small businesses, the secondary is often the split-phase 120/240-volt system. The 240 ...
Transformer types. Transformer with two windings and iron core. Transformer with three windings. The dots show the relative configuration of the windings. Transformer with electrostatic screen preventing capacitive coupling between the windings. In an electric arc furnace, the transformer has a heavy copper bus for the low voltage winding ...
The symbol used to represent a gyrator in one-line diagrams (where a waveguide or transmission line is shown as a single line rather than as a pair of conductors), reflects this one-way phase shift. As with a quarter-wave transformer , if one port of a gyrator is terminated with a linear load, then the other port presents an impedance inversely ...
Vector group. In electrical engineering, a vector group, officially called a connection symbol, is the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) method of categorizing the high voltage (HV) windings and low voltage (LV) winding configurations of three-phase transformers. The vector group designation indicates the windings configurations ...
