Toshiba announces the availability of its Bay Control Unit GBU100 (photo) and Transformer Protection relay GRT100 in compliance with the IEC 61850 standard for substation communications.
GRT100 and GBU100 were certified IEC 61850 compliant at the first attempt by KEMA in June 2007 and August 2007 respectively.
This is additional to the GRZ100 distance protection which had already been certified compliant in 2006, and the rest of Toshiba's range of protection and substation automation products will follow in the near future.
