The full form of the ANSI code is the American National Standards Institute code.
They don't really create the standards, but they provide the process by which they should be created.
ANSI codes are also called Electrical ANSI Device numbers.
What is ANSI code in Electrical?
The American National Standards Institute is a stakeholder organization that ensures the integrity of the standardization system in the USA (United State of America). ANSI was founded in 1918.
They have a long history and strong reputation for working in close collaboration with all stakeholders to solve industry problems on behalf of the united states and around the world.
The ANSI Federation includes over 30 million professionals worldwide, industry-government trade associations, academia individual standard developers, professional societies, service organizations, consumer and labor interest, and many more.
ANSI code for electrical protective devices
Each electrical safety device is represented by a fixed number. These standard device numbers are used in a single-line diagram. One can confirm the type of safety device used in the substation by identifying the device number as shown on the single line diagram.
