Relay Protection Equipment Information Table

Relay protection equipment is classified by standard ANSI/IEEE device numbers, each representing a specific protective function for power system components.ANSI/IEEE Standard Device Numbers and FunctionsDevice NumberFunctionTypical ApplicationNotes50Instantaneous OvercurrentLines, TransformersTrips immediately when current exceeds set value 50NInstantaneous Ground OvercurrentGround Fault ProtectionDetects earth faults 51Time OvercurrentLines, TransformersOperates with time delay based on current magnitude 51NTime Ground OvercurrentGround Fault ProtectionTime-delayed earth fault protection 27UndervoltageBusbars, TransformersTrips when voltage drops below set value 59OvervoltageBusbars, TransformersTrips when voltage exceeds set value 59BBus OvervoltageBusbarsSpecific to bus protection 67Directional OvercurrentLines, FeedersTrips only if fault occurs in set direction 67NDirectional Ground OvercurrentGround FaultsCombines directionality with earth fault detection 87DifferentialTransformers, GeneratorsDetects internal faults by comparing currents 87TTransformer DifferentialTransformersSpecialized differential relay for transformer protection 86Lockout RelayCircuit Breakers, TransformersProvides lockout function after fault trip 79Reclosing RelayLinesAutomatically recloses breakers after temporary faults Key Notes on Relay ProtectionDirectional Overcurrent Relays (67/67N) require both current and voltage inputs to determine fault direction, ensuring the breaker trips only for faults in the set direction .Differential Relays (87/87T) compare currents at different points to detect internal faults in transformers or generators .Lockout Relays (86/86T) prevent repeated operation after a fault until manual reset .Time and Instantaneous Overcurrent Relays (50/51) provide selective tripping to isolate faults while minimizing system disruption .Voltage Relays (27/59) protect against abnormal voltage conditions that could damage equipment .Practical ConsiderationsRelay selection depends on system configuration, fault levels, and protection coordination .Testing and commissioning of relays involve verifying trip settings, timing, and coordination with circuit breakers and other protective devices .Multifunction relays may combine several device numbers (e.g., 27/59 for under/overvoltage) to optimize protection and reduce panel space .This table provides a comprehensive reference for engineers and technicians to identify, select, and apply relay protection equipment in substations, transmission lines, and power generation systems.

Feeder protection and control

Feeder protection, or more exactly protection for overhead lines and cables, is the most commonly used type of protection. The protection has to ensure that the power grid continues to supply energy. In
