symbol drawn incorrectly

Postby eprpic » Tue May 22, 2018 2:32 pm

I've just noticed that there's a "logical" error in the schematic of a default library symbol F3_GFCI+F (and possibly some other).

It is a combined 4-pole (3 phase + neutral) RCD switch and miniature circuit breaker with over-current protection.
If you look closely, the test button is connected between first (i.e. leftmost) and second (from the left) pole, which would imply that the first (i.e. leftmost) pole is neutral, just like on F3_GFCI symbol (pure 4-pole RCD switch). However, symbols indicating overcurrent protection are drawn on the first three poles, implying that the first three poles should break live leads, and fourth should break a neutral lead.
Now, I can modify (correct) the symbol, but then I'd like to upload it here for everyone else to use it and to be distributed in the database with the following updates. Otherwise, I might have a different idea about how to correct it, update my schematics accordingly and then have it all messed up after some update. :)

You are right! Thanks for noticing this drawing fault.

The line going from test button to pin 4 should go to neutral pin 8.
