Could someone advise about the protection relays symbols of the 11kV networks.I mean for example what 50/51N stands for. Elecme
 
It is a relay with time overcurrent (ANSI/IEEE Device 51) and instantaneous overcurrent (ANSI/IEEE Device 50)functions connected to the neutral (or residual) of wye-connected CTs.

A 50/51N relay can be set more sensitively than the same relay connected directly to phase current because it only senses zero sequence currents (i.e., unbalanced phase to neutral loads or ground faults).
