BS EN IEC 60027‑2 is the second part of the multi-series European Standard that focuses on letter symbols to be used in electrical technology. BS EN IEC 60027‑2 is applicable to telecommunications and electronics.
BS EN IEC 60027‑2 gives names and symbols for quantities and their units.
BS EN IEC 60027‑2 on letter symbols to be used in electrical technology is useful for:
Electrical symbols are required to do the electrical drawing and without the help of electrical symbols, we won't be able to do the electrical drawing. Electrical circuits are represented by electrical drawings. Symbols and number combinations are used to represent electrical circuits.
BS EN IEC 60027‑2 can be used to convey information about a wide range of details such as Electrical wiring, pneumatic or hydraulic layouts, location of the equipment, and details of the equipment. By using electrical drawings, we would be able to locate the equipment.
BS EN IEC 60027‑2 is also 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, or engineering discipline, based on traditional conventions.
