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
devices protect electrical systems and
components from damage when an unwanted
event occurs, such as an electrical fault.
ANSI numbers are used to identify the functions
of meduim voltage microprocessor devices.
ANSI facilitates the development of American
National Standards (ANS) by accrediting the
procedures of standards developing
organizations (SDOs). These groups work
cooperatively to develop voluntary national
ANSI Functions For Protection Devices
consensus standards. Accreditation by ANSI
signifies that the procedures used by the
standards body in connection with the development of American National Standards meet the Institutes
essential requirements for openness, balance, consensus and due process.

Protection against thermal damage caused by overloads on machines (transformers, motors or generators).
The thermal capacity used is calculated according to a mathematical model which takes into account:
current RMS values
ambient temperature
negative sequence current, a cause of motor rotor temperature rise

Recloser
ANSI 79
Automation device used to limit down time after tripping due to transient or semipermanent faults on overhead
lines. The recloser orders automatic reclosing of the breaking device after the time delay required to restore the
insulation has elapsed. Recloser operation is easy to adapt for different operating modes by parameter setting.

Directional overcurrent protection for impedance and solidly earthed systems, based on measured or calculated
residual current. It comprises an earth fault function associated with direction detection, and picks up if the
earth fault function in the chosen direction (line or busbar) is activated.

excessive motor starting time due to overloads (e.g. conveyor) or insufficient supply voltage.
The reacceleration of a motor that is not shut down, indicated by a logic input, may be considered as
starting.
locked rotor due to motor load (e.g. crusher):
in normal operation, after a normal start
directly upon starting, before the detection of excessive starting time, with detection of locked
rotor by a zero speed detector connected to a logic input, or by the underspeed function.

ANSI 27 Undervoltage
Protection of motors against voltage sags or detection of abnormally low network voltage to trigger automatic
load shedding or source transfer.
Works with phase-to-phase voltage.
ANSI index
ANSI 59 Overvoltage
Detection of abnormally high network voltage or checking for sufficient voltage to enable source transfer. Works
with phase-to-phase or phase-to-neutral voltage, each voltage being monitored separately.

Detection of abnormally low frequency compared to the rated frequency, to monitor power supply quality. The
protection may be used for overall tripping or load shedding. Protection stability is ensured in the event of the
loss of the main source and presence of remanent voltage by a restraint in the event of a continuous decrease
of the frequency, which is activated by parameter setting.
