Sharing valuesThe introduction of the IEC 61850 standard represents a great step forward in substation automation and the process is continuing. One example is the application of the standards subsection, IEC 61850-9-2, for the sharing of sampled analog values using Ethernet. By integrating this technology into its substation automation systems, ABB has combined over 10 years of experience in producing... Surviving a strikeA lightning strike is not a pleasant experience under any circumstances. For electrical equipment it is not just the voltage peak that can cause damage, but also the sudden and rapid voltage rise. In some cases the voltage transients are far steeper than those that occur in typical situations covered by common standards they can surge by megavolts in the space of microseconds....
