ANSI codes and IEC Relay Symbols – Electrical Engineering

To assist the Protection Engineer in converting from one system to the other, a select list of ANSI device numbers and their IEC equivalents are given in the following figure.

Intro to Relays #2

Protective relays are designed by using standard device numbers to describe its functionality. Instead of verbal descriptions, we use numbers to describe the functions of a relay.

ANSI device numbers

In electric power systems and industrial automation, ANSI Device Numbers can be used to identify equipment and devices in a system such as relays, circuit breakers, or instruments.

ANSI (IEEE) Protective Device Numbering

Protective relays are commonly referred to by standard device numbers. For example, a time overcurrent relay is designated a 51 device, while an instantaneous overcurrent is a 50 device.

What Are ANSI Relay Numbers? The Complete C37.2 Code List

Understanding ANSI standard relay numbers is crucial for anyone involved in electrical protection and control systems. These numbers, defined by the ANSI/IEEE C37.2 standard, provide a standardized

Protection Relay

In the design of electrical power systems, the ANSI Standard Device Numbers denote what features a protective device supports (such as a relay or circuit breaker). These types of

Understanding the ANSI/IEEE Device Numbering System | Delgado

For protection engineers, a thorough understanding of this numbering system is essential for effective communication, proper relay configuration, and coordinated protection design.

Table of ANSI IEEE Standard Device Numbers

In North America protective relays are generally referred to by standard device numbers. Letters are sometimes added to specify the application (IEEE Standard C37.2-2008).

Table of ANSI IEEE Standard Device Numbers

The protection and control devices in electrical equipment can be referred to by numbers, with appropriate suffix letters when necessary, according to the functions they perform.

Protection and Control Device Numbers and Functions
