Achieving reliable performance in environmental conditions typically found in electric utility substations, demands a particularly high grade of communications device. IEC 61850-3 (2002) and IEEE 1613 (2003) are standards which have been specifically developed for communications networks and systems in substations. Both have environmental and
EMI (electromagnetic interference) immunity requirements based on EMI phenomena
typically found in substations.
Every RuggedCom product meets or exceeds the requirements of IEC 61850-3 and
IEEE 1613. They have been specifically engineered to meet the same demanding EMI and environmental requirements as mission critical protective relaying devices. RuggedCom participated in the development of IEEE 1613 and helped define the performance requirements of two classes of communications devices. RuggedCom manufactures the only networking and communications devices which qualify as IEEE 1613 Class 2 Error-Free devices.
