Suffixes: A suffix letter or number may be used with the device number; for example- Suffix N is used if the device is connected to a Neutral wire (example: 59N in a relay is used for protection against Neutral Displacement) Suffixes X, Y, Z are used for auxiliary devices Suffix G can denote a "ground", hence a "51G" is a time over-current ground relay or earth- fault relay. Suffix G can also mean generator, hence an "87G" is a generator differential protective relay Suffix 87T is a transformer differential protective relay.
Knowledge on Electrical Device Nomenclature IEC61850 Logical Nodes: IEC61850 has introduced an object oriented modeling approach using logical nodes as core objects. A logical node is a functional grouping of information. Logical nodes are standardized in IEC61850 and consist of four characters.
