Foreword
GB/T 4728 "Electrical sketch diagram with graphic symbols" is divided into 13 parts.
--- Part 1. General requirements;
--- Part 2. symbolic elements, qualified symbols and other commonly used symbols;
--- Part 3. Conductors and connectors;
--- Part 4. Basic passive components;
--- Part 5. Semiconductor tubes and tubes;
--- Part 6. Generation and conversion of electrical energy;
--- Part 7. Switching, control and protection devices;
--- Part 8. Measuring instruments, lamps and signal devices;
--- Part 9. Telecommunications. switching and peripheral equipment;
--- Part 10. Telecommunications. Transmission;
--- Part 11. Floor plan of building installation;

This part is the first part of GB/T 4728.
This part is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This part replaces GB/T 4728.1-2005 "Graphical Symbols for Electrical Sketches Part 1. General Requirements", and GB/T 4728.1-
The main technical changes in.2005 are as follows.
--- Added normative references (see Chapter 2);
--- Deleted links, symbol queries, snapshots, consultations, how to deal with "new symbol requests" and other content (see.2005 version 1.3,
1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 2.8).
This section uses the redrafting method to modify the use of IEC 60617database "graphic symbols for diagrams" (September 1,.2016)
Print the English version).
This section has more structural adjustments than IEC 60617database. Appendix A lists this section and IEC 60617data-
The main structural differences of base.
The main technical differences between this part and IEC 60617database and their reasons are as follows.
---About the normative reference documents, this part has made technical adjustments to adapt to China's technical conditions, adjustments
The situation is reflected in Chapter 2, "Regulatory References", and the specific adjustments are as follows.
* Add reference to IEC 61346-2;
* IEC 60027 (all parts), IEC 61286, ISO 31, ISO 10646 have been removed.
--- In order to meet the needs of standard use, delete the description of the database standard, namely. link, symbol query, snapshot printing, consultation, such as
How to handle the content of the "new symbol request".
This section has made the following editorial changes.
--- Modified the standard name.
This part is proposed and managed by the National Electrical Information Structure, Documentation and Graphic Symbol Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC27).
