38、rom power systems or power system models. This standard applies to files stored on physical media such as digital hard drives and diskettes. It is not a standard for transferring data files over communication networks. The format is intended to provide an easily interpretable format for use in excha
39、nging data; as such, it does not make use of the economies available from data encoding and compression which proprietary formats depend on for competitive advantage. 2 Definitions For the purpose of this part of IEC 60255, the following definitions apply. 2.1 data representations data stored in fil
40、es as a series of binary bits NOTE Each bit can be either a 1 or a O. The bits are organized in groups of 8 bits called bytes. When a computer reads the data in a file, it reads the data as a series of bytes. 2.1 .I binary data data organized in the form of bytes NOTE The 8 bits in a byte can be org
41、anized in 256 different combinations. They can be used, therefore, to represent the numbers from O to 255. If larger numbers are needed, several bytes can be used to represent a single number, e.g., 2 bytes (16 bits) can represent the numbers from O to 65535. When the bytes are interpreted in this f
42、ashion, they are known as binary data. Several different formats are in common use for storage of numeric data in binary form. 2.1.2 ASCII (American National Standard Code for Information Interchange) data symbols that match 127 of the combinations of eight binary bits NOTE As an alternative to a by
43、te representing the numbers O to 255, it can be used to represent 255 different symbols. The American National Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is a standard that lists symbols that match 127 of the combinations of eight binary bits, e.g. the byte 01000001 represents an upper case “
44、A while 01100001 represents a lower case “a”. With 127 different combinations, it is possible to represent all of the keys on the keyboard plus many other special symbols. The remainder of the 256 combinations available from an 8-bit format are used for drawing and other special application characte
45、rs. To represent a number in ASCII format requires one byte for each digit of the number.

These devices are built to accept inputs in more manageable and less dangerous levels, termed secondary quantities. Voltage transformers and current transformers are used to reduce the voltage and current signals on the power system to these lower values. The transformer ratios are chosen so that when the power system is running at the rated or nominal primary value, the secondary value is at the nominal secondary value. The ratio is specifi
