Give your network headroom
As substations evolve to accommodate smarter grid solutions, their networks must be scalable to handle increased bandwidth demands. A gigabit-capable switch ensures that the infrastructure can support future upgrades, such as the integration of more IEDs, merging units, phasor measurement units (PMUs), and other high-bandwidth devices, without requiring frequent network overhauls
EC 61850-3 Compliance - Built for Substation Environments
IEC 61850-3 is an international standard that sets strict requirements for equipment used in electrical substations, focusing on electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity and environmental robustness.
The standard requires devices to survive both continuous and transient EMI that occurs in substation environments, along with extreme temperatures, vibration, and electrical interference that would damage regular network equipment. For Ethernet switches, meeting IEC 61850-3 means they can safely operate next to high-voltage equipment and power transformers without failing or losing data.
This certification is essential for because it ensures network equipment won't break down when the grid needs it most.
Hermes 1000 Series
Hermes 1000 unmanaged Ethernet switches works right out of the box - no configuration needed. They’re perfect for connecting protection equipment, meters, and monitoring devices. Designed to meet the requirements of IEC 61850-3, Hermes 1000 provides reliability and simplicity.
