ANSI Functions For Protection Devices 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 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.

ANSI 67N/67NC type 3

Directional overcurrent protection for distribution networks in which the neutral earthing system varies according to the operating mode, based on measured residual current.

ANSI index Directional power protection functions
ANSI 32P Directional active overpower

ANSI 32Q/40 Directional reactive overpower

Two-way protection based on calculated reactive power to detect field loss on synchronous machines: reactive overpower protection for motors which consume more reactive power with field loss reverse reactive overpower protection for generators which consume reactive power with field loss. ANSI index Machine protection functions
ANSI 37 Phase undercurrent

Protection of pumps against the consequences of a loss of priming by the detection of motor no-load operation. It is sensitive to a minimum of current in phase 1, remains stable during breaker tripping and may be inhibited by a logic input. ANSI index
ANSI 48/51LR/14 Locked rotor / excessive starting time

Protection of motors against overheating caused by: 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 index

ANSI index
ANSI 50V/51V Voltage-restrained overcurrent

Phase-to-phase short-circuit protection, for generators. The current tripping set point is voltage-adjusted in order to be sensitive to faults close to the generator which cause voltage drops and lowers the short-circuit current. ANSI index

ANSI 81H Overfrequency

Detection of abnormally high frequency compared to the rated frequency, to monitor power supply quality. ANSI index
ANSI 81L Underfrequency

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. ANSI index
ANSI 81R Rate of change of frequency

Protection function used for fast disconnection of a generator or load shedding control. Based on the calculation of the frequency variation, it is insensitive to transient voltage disturbances and therefore more stable than a phase-shift protection function. Disconnection In installations with autonomous production means connected to a utility, the rate of change of frequency protection function is used to detect loss of the main system in view of opening the incoming circuit breaker to: protect the generators from a reconnection without checking synchronization avoid supplying loads outside the installation. Load shedding The rate of change of frequency protection function is used for load shedding in combination with the underfrequency protection to: either accelerate shedding in the event of a large overload or inhibit shedding following a sudden drop in frequency due to a problem that should not be solved by shedding.
