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
ANSI CODES FOR PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
The ANSI(American National Standards Institute) has standardized the codes to be used for protection relays. Each protective function is indicated by a specific no. such as 50 for instantaneous
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.

The document outlines standard device numbers for protective relays, such as 50 for instantaneous overcurrent and 51 for time overcurrent, along with multifunction devices like 27/59 for under/over
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.
Protection and Control Device Numbers and Functions
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 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
