Generator protection functions

The generator protection functions with their English and Dutch description, including ASCI/IEEE device codes and IEC symbols, are implemented in a table.

The first colomn contains the ANSI/IEEE Device Numbers that are worldwide most commonly used. The second column is derived from IEC 60617 (part 7). In older drawings this standard is used widely. IEC 61850 is a modern, globally accepted standard for communication in electrical substations via Ethernet. In the table below we present the ‘Logical Node Class’. For further specification, a pre-code is used.
