What is the ANSI Code for Overvoltage Relay?
The ANSI code for an overvoltage relay is 59. This code denotes a relay which detects if the system voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold and can activate alarms or trip circuit breakers to restore the normal operating conditions.
What is ANSI Code 59?
ANSI Code 59 detects abnormally high voltage levels in an electrical system. It is used to protect equipment from harm caused by overvoltages and to take steps to restore the system to acceptable voltage limits. It is frequently utilized in settings with lightly laden conditions or voltage variations.
How it Works?
An overvoltage relay continuously monitors the voltage of the power source. If the voltage level rises above a predetermined threshold, the relay activates. The relay’s information can be used to create alerts (or) to trip a circuit breaker that interrupts the flow of electricity to protect equipment from further harm.
