In the development of this standard the InternationalElectrotechnical Commission Publication 27, Letter Symbols to be Used in Electrical Technology, has been followed

20、closely.In this revision the following changes and additions have been made:1) A new section, Scope, has been added.2) A new section, References has been added.3) Section 3.2 on typography has been expanded and claried.4) Text concerning unit symbols has been expanded and text on the SI system of un

21、its added; these now parallelthe statements in ANSI/IEEE 268-1982 , American National Standard Metric Practice. All units (for example,temperature, pressure, conductance) have been revised to agree with current SI practice.Celsius temperaturereplaces the former terms temperatureand customary tempera

ScopeThis standard covers letter symbols used to represent physical quantitie

30、s in the eld of electrical science and electricalengineering. These symbols are independent of the units (see ANSI/IEEE Std 260-1978 21) employed or specialvalues assigned. Also included are selected symbols for mathematics and for physical constants.2. ReferencesWhen the following American National

31、 Standards referred to in this standard are superseded by a revision approved bythe American National Standards Institute, the latest vision shall be used.1 ANSI Y10.17-1961 (R1973), American National Standard Guide for Selecting Greek Letters Used as LetterSymbols for Engineering Mathematics.2 ANSI

General Principles of Letter Symbol Standardization3.1 Letter SymbolsLetter symbols2include symbols for physical quantities (quantity symbols) and symbols

33、 for the units in which thesequantities are measured (unit symbols).A quantity symbol is, in general, a single letter3(for example, Ifor electric current) specied as to general form oftype, and modied when appropriate by one or more subscripts or superscripts. In a given work the same letter symbol1

34、The numbers in brackets correspond to those of the references in Section 22Letter symbolas a technical term does not have the same meaning as either name or abbreviation. An abbreviation is a letter or a combination ofletters (plus sometimes an apostrophe or a full stop) which by convention represen

35、ts a wordor a namein a particular language; hence anabbreviation may be different in a different language. A symbol represents a quantityor a unitand is, therefore, independent of language.EXAMPLE: For electromotive force, the symbol is E, whereas the abbreviation is emf in English, fern in French,

36、and EMK in German. The wordampereis sometimes abbreviated amp; the symbol for this unit is A.3Symbols comprising two letters are sometimes used for numerical transport parameters such as Reynolds number Re.2Copyright 1984 IEEE All Rights ReservedIEEE Std 280-1985 IEEE STANDARD LETTER SYMBOLS FOR QUA

37、NTITIES USEDshould appear throughout for the same physical quantity, regardless of the units employed or of special valuesassigned.A unit symbol4is a letter or group of letters (for example, mm for millimeter), or in a few cases a special sign, that maybe used in place of the name of a unit.3.2 Alph

38、abets and TypographyLetter symbols are mainly restricted to the English and Greek alphabets.5The type families that are used for text inmodern book and journal publishing all include italic (sloping) type faces and related roman (upright) type faces. Theformer are used for quantity symbols, and the

39、latter, for unit symbolsthe distinctions are discussed more fully in thefollowing paragraphs. (In the context of this standard, the term romanis used simply to mean upright in contrast withsloping and carries no connotation regarding serifs, line widths, or the like.) In situations where roman and i

40、talic arenot both available, care shall be taken to avoid confusion between quantities and units. For example, an underline isfrequently used to indicate italic type, and where an underline can be provided, as in manual typewriting, this practiceis often helpful.Unconventional type faces should gene

41、rally not be used for letter symbols. Script and Old English faces, for example,are not appropriate for unit symbols. Such special faces have seen limited use for quantity symbols, but good modernpractice avoids them (see 3.3, last paragraph).Symbols for physical quantities, mathematical variables,

42、indices, and general functions6are printed in italic (sloping)type. For example,A, Aareaecharge of an electronx, y, zCartesian coordinatesi, j, k, nindicesf(x)function of xSymbols for physical units, mathematical constants, specic mathematical functions, operators, and numbers used asindices are pri

43、nted in roman type. For example,cm centimetere base of natural logarithmssin xsine of xJ2(z), Jn(z) Bessel functionsdxdifferential of xSubscripts and superscripts are governed by the above principles. Those that are letter symbols for quantities or forindices are printed in italic type, while all ot

44、hers are printed in roman type, for example,Cpheat capacity at constant pressure paij, a45matrix elementsIi, Ioinput current, output currentxavaverage value of xFor indicating the vector character of a quantity, boldface italic type is used. For example,4Formerly it was common to treat unit symbols

45、in the same manner as general abbreviations, but the current recommendations of the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO), and of many other international and national bodies concerned with standardization, emphasize thesymbolic character of these designations and rigidly prescribe the

46、 manner in which they shall be treated. The concept of the unit symbol is thereforeadopted in this standard.5Greek letters that are easily confused with English letters are avoided. See ANSI Y10.17-1961 (1973), 1.6The term general functionsis used here to contrast with specific mathematical function

47、s, for which roman type is to be used.Copyright 1984 IEEE All Rights Reserved3IN ELECTRICAL SCIENCE AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IEEE Std 280-1985FforceHmagnetic eld strengthOrdinary italic type is used to represent the magnitude of a vector quantity. It is also commonly used for a vectorquantity when

48、 there is no need to draw attention to the vector character of the quantity.When tensor quantities of second or higher order are to be represented by a single letter, sans-serif type should be used(for example, A, B).3.3 Quantity SymbolsQuantity symbols may be used in mathematical expressions in any

49、 way consistent with good mathematical usage. Theproduct of two quantities a, b, is indicated by writing ab. The quotient may be indicated by writing.If more than one solidus (/) is used in any algebraic term, parentheses shall be inserted to remove any ambiguity. Thusone may write (a/b)/c, or a/(b/c), but not a/b/c.Subscripts and superscripts are widely used with quantity symbols. Several subscripts or superscripts, sometimesseparated by commas, may be attached to a single letter. But, so far as logical clarity permits, subscripts andsuper
