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. The device numbers are enumerated in ANSI/IEEE Standard C37.2 Standard for Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations. Many of these devices protect electrical systems and individual system components from damage whe
