Create transfomer symbol consisting of two circles
1
I am drawing a simple power system in a single line diagram and want to define a shape for a transformer, which looks like two partly overlapping circles. I have already defined styles for generators and impedances using tikzset. By doing this I can easily draw generators and impedances using the node command. However, I haven't figured out how to do this for the transformer as it consists of two circles not one. Does anyone know an easy way to define this transformer shape, such that I can easily create one with the the node command?

Welcome to TeX.SE! To draw the above figure, you can use very simple TikZ commanddraw (0,0) circle (1cm); draw (0,1) circle (1cm);but please explain more about the size of the shape, how you use the shape, etc.

It sounds like you should take a look atcircuitikz. Then you can do e.g.draw (0,0) to[ioosource] (0,2);

A for loop is an answer for you here:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
tikzset{
mycirc/.pic={
foreach w in {0,1} {
draw (0,w) circle (1cm);
}
}
}
begin{tikzpicture}
pic at (2,2) {mycirc};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
which will give you:
Even you can change the design choices of your transformers:
documentclass{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
tikzset{
main/.style ={circle, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=0.6cm, dashed},
mycirc/.pic={
foreach w in {0,1} {
draw[main] (0,w) circle (1cm);
}
}
}
begin{tikzpicture}
pic at (2,2) {mycirc};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

Hi, many thanks. Your solution looks exactly, like what I was thinking about. One question. Is it possible to change your code such that I can draw the shape using the following command:node[mycirc] (pos) {};. For the generator shape I get this behavior, when I write.stylewhere you have written.pic.
– Sigurd Hofsmo Jakobsen
Feb 4 at 12:08
@SigurdHofsmoJakobsen It will not work (I think), because, it is not a style instead it is a picture ;) But if you want to draw it withmypicthen you need to define a custommacrofor that purpose (which is out-of-scope of this question here :D). [off-topic] IMHO, it is an over-kill :D

Ok, many thanks. Yes, I don't want to define a custom macro, it does seem a bit overkill ;P. Anyway, your proposal work fine for my purpose :)

Welcome to TeX.SE! To draw the above figure, you can use very simple TikZ command
draw (0,0) circle (1cm); draw (0,1) circle (1cm);but please explain more about the size of the shape, how you use the shape, etc.– JouleV
