Standard C37.2) 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. Device numbers are used to identify the
functions of devices shown on a schematic diagram. Function descriptions are given in the
standard.
ANSI/IEEE C37.2-2008 is one of a continuing series of revisions of the standard, which
originated in 1928.
