IEC 61850-3/IEEE 1613 Switches

For substations, generation plants, and control rooms exposed to severe EMI and mission-critical uptime requirements, choose IEC 61850-3 / IEEE 1613-grade Ethernet switches. Designed for substation automation, this portfolio focuses on power-utility EMC immunity, wide temperature durability, fast network recovery, and precise time synchronization—with flexible rackmount or DIN-rail installation and AC/DC redundant power. It also supports concepts such as PRP/HSR (IEC 62439-3) and multicast handling for GOOSE/SV traffic (model-dependent).

Why IEC 61850-3 / IEEE 1613 switches?

  • Utility-grade EMC robustness: Qualified for IEC 61850-3 / IEEE 1613 environments to withstand surges, switching transients, and strong electromagnetic fields.
  • Fast recovery for grid uptime: Substation-friendly ring redundancies such as ERPS / α-Ring with millisecond-level healing (< 15 ms typical, model-dependent); seamless schemes available per project.
  • Accurate time sync: IEEE 1588v2 PTP (e.g., TC/BC—model-dependent) for sampled values, synchrophasor alignment, and event correlation.
  • High-availability hardware: Fanless or minimized-fan thermal paths, AC/DC dual power, and fiber uplinks (SFP/SFP+ as available).
  • L2/L3 & security toolset: VLAN, QoS, IGMP Snooping, Storm Control, ACL, 802.1X, static routing / VRRP (feature sets vary by model).

Designed per IEC 61850-90-4 (Network & Testing Guidance)

  • Deployment guidance: Topology planning, seamless redundancy concepts (PRP/HSR, IEC 62439-3), time sync (IEEE 1588v2), multicast performance for GOOSE/SV, and device modeling/automation best practices.
  • Assurance via tests: Design reviews, FAT/SAT, and checks on real-time forwarding, redundancy switchover, time sync, and VLAN/QoS behavior—with diagnostics for easier maintenance.
  • Tender compliance: Availability of test reports and documents (e.g., PICS, PIXIT, MICS, SCL) can streamline submission and evaluation in power-sector bids.
