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.

Protective Relay Basics

There are many types of protective relay functions, but this presentation will focus on the most common type, basic overcurrent device 50/51 (instantaneous and time overcurrent).

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.

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

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.
