Schematics will be fed to manual connections and for documentation purposes. As it is a schemtic gschem feels like a suitable choice.

If I draw new symbols me myself as I did a couple of hours ago, 3-phase relay and ordinary 3-phase motor I could equally weel draw them according to standard, tried to look how others have done, searched for IEC on internet.
