IEC 61850 Communications Networks and Systems in Substations

[image] Garrettcom

“IEC 61850 is the International standard for substation automation systems. It defines the communication between devices in the substation and the related system requirements”

IEC 61850 Environmental Requirements

IEC 61850-3 refers to IEC 870-2-2 “Telecontrol equipment and systems – part 2: Operating conditions – section 2: Environmental conditions (climatic, mechanical and other non-electrical influences)”. The majority of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in substations are in sheltered locations. To be compliant with IEC 61850, Ethernet products must meet or exceed the specifications.

EMC conformance

Ethernet components in Substation Automation have to conform to the same criteria as for protection IEDs if they are located at the same place. GarrettCom products have passed all the tests specified in the relevant technical standards. The table below shows how GarrettCom products continue to meet and exceed the requirements when put to the test.
