Moxa PT-508/510 series IEC 61850-3 substation switches

The Moxa DIN-Rail PT-508/510 series IEC 61850-3 substation switches offer a -40 to 85°C operating temperature range, and redundant features that tackle specific needs and requirements found in power substations.

The switches feature the company’s Turbo Chain self-healing ethernet topology solution. Turbo Chain allows the creation of multiple redundant networks, which makes it suitable for complex power utility network connections spread over multiple locations with correspondingly complex wiring requirements. Compared with conventional ring topology, Turbo Chain eliminates the need for additional ethernet ports to form ring coupling paths, as well the kilometres of cabling that are often required.

The switches are specifically designed for substation environments, have passed IEC 61850-3 and IEEE1613 certification, and are fully equipped with all of the features specified by the IEC standard, including horizontal communication with zero GOOSE message loss. The ethernet switches also provide features that include an IP40-rated housing, three or four optical-fibre ports, and isolated redundant power supplies (24/48 VDC or 110/220 VDC/VAC).
