Relay Symbols for Engineers

This document provides a comparison of relay protection function indicators using the ANSI and IEC standards. It lists various relay functions indicated in the ANSI standard using numbers and letters, and shows the equivalent graphical symbols used in the IEC standard. The table provides examples of common relay functions and their ANSI numbers and matching IEC symbols to help conversion between the two standards.

Appendix 2 ANSI/IEC Relay Symbols

Appendix 2 ANSI/IEC Relay Symbols

There are two methods for indicating protection relay functions in common use. One is given in ANSI Standard C37-2, and uses a numbering system for various functions. The functions are supplemented by letters where amplification of the function is required. The other is given in IEC 60617, and uses graphical symbols. To assist the Protection Engineer in converting from one system to the other, a select list of ANSI device numbers and their IEC equivalents is given in Figure A2.1.
