Overview
EN 60027-1:2006 (identical to IEC 60027-1:1995 + A1:1997) is the European standard that defines the letter symbols to be used in electrical technology - Part 1: General. Published by CENELEC and incorporating the April 1993 corrigendum, this document harmonizes symbols, quantity names and associated SI units for use in technical documents, drawings, specifications and standards across Europe.
Key topics
- Standardized letter symbols for electrical quantities (e.g., form factor F, phase ϑ, initial phase).
- Quantities and SI units: tables mapping quantities to SI units and other commonly used unit designations.
- Amendments and table updates (Amendment 1) introducing and clarifying items such as:
- Lineic (electric) charge (τλ, Q/s)
- Displacement current and total current (I, ID, Itot)
- Current density and total current density (J, JD, Jtot)
- Magnetic field strength H, scalar magnetic induction ϕm (B-related), scalar magnetic potential Vm
- Coercivity-related quantities (cB, cM, cJ)
- Notation rules and remarks, for example the use (and removal in some items) of subscripts such as “N” for rated values and a note on subscript usage in rotating machinery.
- Scope and harmonization: confirms the European adoption without modification and the obligation for CENELEC members to implement the standard nationally.
Practical applications
EN 60027-1 provides a consistent reference for:
- Creating clear technical documentation, schematics, datasheets and engineering reports.
- Ensuring uniform symbol usage in standards, test procedures, academic publications and regulatory documents.
- Assisting measurement, simulation and design workflows where consistent naming of electrical quantities and units is critical.
- Supporting interdisciplinary communication among electrical engineers, metrologists, technical writers and standards committees.
