What is this electric symbol found on an MCC-related electric single line diagram? It looks like a voltmeter with some sort of resistor but it would make more sense if it was an actuator I think.

On some other places there is only the V symbol which probably is just a voltmeter:

  • \$\begingroup\$ yes, I added a snipshot of a similar symbol without the box this time. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Since there is no capacity (kVA) rating on the transformer, I would suspect it is for metering. Are there any protective relays or other devices that would need a 0-110V voltage input signal? \$\endgroup\$

This symbol enter image description here

  • does not seem to be adopted by modern standards for "Single-Line" Power grid Drawings.
    Rather now it looks a like a voltmeter symbol with an attachment. Delta generators might not be earthed, but Y neutral generators would be earthed. This might give some clue.
