ANSI/IEEE C37.90 specifies standard service conditions, standard ratings, performance requirements, and testing requirements for relays and relay systems used to protect and control power apparatus. The standard establishes a common reproducible basis for designing and evaluating relays and relay systems. According to ANSI/IEEE C37.90, a relay system may include computer interface equipment and/or communications interface equipment, such as a carrier transmitter/receiver or audio tone equipment. ANSI/IEEE C37.90 does not cover relays designed primarily for industrial control, for switching communication or other low-level signals, or any other equipment not intended for control of power apparatus.

IEC 61000-4-18 relates to the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment, under operational conditions, concerning: a) repetitive damped oscillatory waves occurring mainly in power, control and signal cables installed in high voltage and medium voltage (HV/MV) substations b) repetitive damped oscillatory waves occurring mainly in power, control and signal cables installed in gas-insulated substations (GIS) and in some cases also air-insulated substations (AIS) or in any installation due to HEMP phenomena The object of IEC 61000-4-18 is to establish the immunity requirements and a common reference for evaluating in a laboratory the performance of electrical and electronic equipment intended for residential, commercial and industrial applications, as well as of equipment intended for power stations and substations, as applicable. The purpose of this standard is to define: – Test voltage and current waveforms – Ranges of test levels – Test equipment – Test setup – Test procedure The object of IEC 61000-4-18 is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to damped oscillatory waves. The test method documented in this part of IEC 61000 describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against a defined phenomenon. It has the status of a basic EMC publication in accordance with IEC Guide 107.
