4 FAQs about Transmission node uses a 150kW communication cabinet from Central and Eastern Europe

What is the communication infrastructure in medium-voltage and low- voltage distribution systems?

The communication infrastructure in the medium-voltage and low-voltage distribution systems is usually hetero-geneous, and the suitable technolo-gies depend to a large extent on the local topology (large city, rural region, distances, etc.). It must therefore be specifically tailored for each customer.

What are logical nodes and data classes in power system automation?

In conclusion, the Logical Nodes and Data Classes defined in IEC 61850 provide a standardized way of representing and exchanging data in power system automation.

What is Modbus protocol?

In addition, the ModBus protocol is a prototype for proprietary protocols such as K-BUS and SPA protocols which are of Areva-Alstom and ABB, respectively. Go back to contents ↑ IEC 61850 is an electrical substation standard promoted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Why is fiber optics the best transmission medium for medium- and low-voltage applications?

Fiber optics is the best transmission medium for medium- and low-voltage applications because it is robust and not susceptible to electromagnetic disturbances or capacity constraints. That's why grid operators who choose this technology will be well prepared when their communica-tions needs multiply in the future.
