{{short description|System of identifying electrical power devices}}
In [[electric power system]]s and [[industrial automation]], '''ANSI Device Numbers''' can be used to identify equipment and devices in a system such as [[relay]]s, [[circuit breaker]]s, or [[Instrumentation|instruments]]. The device numbers are enumerated in [[American National Standards Institute|ANSI]]/[[IEEE]] Standard C37.2 ''Standard for Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations''.
In [[Electrical engineering|the design of electrical power systems]], the '''[[American National Standards Institute|ANSI]] standard device numbers''' (ANSI /[[IEEE]] Standard C37.2 ''Standard for Electrical Power System Device Function Numbers, Acronyms, and Contact Designations '') identifies the features of a protective device such as a [[relay]] or [[circuit breaker]]. These types of devices protect electrical systems and components from damage when an unwanted event occurs, such as an [[Fault current|electrical fault]]. Device numbers are used to identify the functions of devices shown on a [[Schematic|schematic diagram]]. Function descriptions are given in the standard.
 
Many of these devices protect electrical systems and individual system components from damage when an unwanted event occurs such as an [[electrical fault]]. Historically, a single protective function was performed by one or more distinct [[Electromechanics|electromechanical]] devices, so each device would receive its own number. Today, [[microprocessor]]-based relays can perform many protective functions in one device.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kunsman |first=Steven |date=December 1, 2011 |title=The Protective Relay Evolves |url=https://www.power-grid.com/smart-grid/the-protective-relay-evolves/ |website=Power Grid International}}</ref> When one device performs several protective functions, it is typically denoted "11" by the standard as a "Multifunction Device", but ANSI Device Numbers are still used in documentation like [[single-line diagram]]s or [[Electrical schematic|schematics]] to indicate which specific functions are performed by that device.
One physical device may correspond to one function number, for example "29 Isolating Contactor", or a single physical device may have many function numbers associated with it, such as a numerical [[protective relay]]. Suffix and prefix letters may be added to further specify the purpose and function of a device.
 
ANSI/IEEE C37.2-2008 is one of a continuing series of revisions of the standard, which originated in 1928 as [[American Institute of Electrical Engineers]] Standard No. 26.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Tengdin|first1=John|title=Knowing the Language: The History and Practice of IEEE C37.2|url=http://www.elp.com/articles/powergrid_international/print/volume-14/issue-2/features/knowing-the-language-the-history-and-practice-of-ieee-c372.html|website=Electric Light & Power|publisher=PennWell Corporation|accessdateaccess-date=18 October 2017|date=1 February 2009|quote=It may surprise some to learn that this standard—or more accurately its AIEE predecessor—is one of the oldest IEEE standards in use.

=== Suffixes and prefixes ===
A suffix letter or number may be used with the device number; for example, suffix N is used if the device is connected to a Neutral wire (example: 59N in a relay is used for protection against Neutral Displacement); and suffixes X, Y, Z are used for auxiliary devices. Similarly, the "G" suffix can denote a "ground", hence a "51G" is a time overcurrent ground relay. The "G" suffix can also mean "generator", hence an "87G" is a Generator Differential Protective Relay while an "87T" is a Transformer Differential Protective Relay. "F" can denote "field" on a generator or "fuse", as in the protective fuse for a pickup transformer. Suffix numbers are used to distinguish multiple "same" devices in the same equipment such as 51-151–1, 51–2.<ref name="WEC">Applied Protective Relaying 1979 by Westinghouse Electric Corporation, 2nd Printing, "Appendix II, Electrical Power System Device Numbers and Functions" as adopted by IEEE standard and incorporated in American Standard C37.2-1970.</ref>
 
Device numbers may be combined if the device provides multiple functions, such as the Instantaneous / Time-delay Overcurrent relay denoted as 50/51.<ref name="WEC" />
Line 276 ⟶ 281:
For device 16, the suffix letters further define the device: the first suffix letter is 'S' for serial or 'E' for Ethernet. The subsequent letters are: 'C' security processing function (e.g. VPN, encryption), 'F' firewall or message filter, 'M' network managed function, 'R' rotor, 'S' switch and 'T' telephone component. Thus a managed Ethernet switch would be 16ESM.
