Hi @PALANITHURAI Nanthagumar (EQUANS UK), 

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

I understand that you are looking for symbols to help you create a High Voltage (HV) safety program isolation and earthing diagram in Visio. To assist you, you can follow the recommendations suggested by the AI above or use the step-by-step instructions below : 

1. Open Microsoft Visio and select New. 
2. In the search bar, type "Electrical" to find relevant templates. 
3. Choose the "Basic Electrical" template. 
4. Click Create. 

Once the template opens, you will be able to view and use electrical symbols such as VCB (Vacuum Circuit Breaker) and other components needed for your diagram. 

If I’ve misunderstood any part of your request, please feel free to clarify so I can better assist you. I appreciate your patience, and I’m here to help further if needed. 

Thank you for your time and understanding. While this response may not resolve the issue immediately, any additional details you share will help me assist you more effectively. I appreciate your patience and look forward to your reply.

Visio does not include a specific “HV safety programme” stencil set, but the required symbols can usually be assembled from the Electrical Engineering and related engineering templates.

To locate suitable symbols (for LV feeder pillars, VCBs, etc.) in Visio Professional or Visio Plan 2:

1. On the File tab, select New and search for Engineering templates.
2. Open one or more of these templates that contain electrical symbols:
   • Basic Electrical
   • Circuits and Logic
   • Industrial Control Systems
   • Systems
3. Choose Metric Units or US Units, then select Create.
4. In the Shapes pane, browse the stencils that load with each template. Drag the closest matching electrical component shapes (switchgear, breakers, control devices, etc.) onto the drawing page and use them to represent LV feeder pillars and VCBs according to the symbol conventions required by the HV safety programme.
5. If needed, customize the symbols:
   • Right‑click a shape and use Data → Define Shape Data (or Shape → Shape Data) to add technical details such as ratings or IDs.
   • Edit the shape’s text label to match the HV/LV device name.

If none of the built‑in shapes match exactly, use a combination of basic shapes and existing electrical symbols to create a custom symbol and reuse it across diagrams.
