"electrical" symbol libraries?

autodeskguest

Is anyone aware of any libraries of JIC (or similar) symbols for doing

electrical drawings like contactors, motors, circuit breakers, panel

switches, transformers and the like? I realize that Eagle is a PCB package

and that these things are not really PCB elements, but I can't be the only

one who also uses Eagle for drawing general schematics of things that will

not be made into PCB's.

 

I more often than not find that my PC layout is only part of the overall

system I an working on, and being able to do the entire schematic, including

panel and cabinet wiring in the same format is most convienent.

 

I looked in the downloads section, but did not see anything like that,

perhaps I overlooked something. I am using v4.08.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

    I see what you mean. In my earlier days I erected powerplants and

    substations and afaik eagle is quite far away from "knowing" (lbr´s)all

    that stuff like protection equippment etc.

    This would mean you have to start creating libs with that kind of devices.

    The new eagle V5 contains some elektro libs but is far away from what

    one needs. But you could download the free version and "sniff" through

    those libs to get some suggestions.

    I just see that Asko Rupponen has a god suggestion. Maybe that helps.

     

     

    Thanks again, Joern. We are doing nothing near the size of power plants

    and the like. I will take a look. As I said, we may have outgrown that

    method, it may be time to find some new tools.

     

    Thanks,
