GE Digital Energy delivers a complete Process Bus solution for intelligent protection and control with the Multilin HardFiber™ System using IEC 61850 sampled values.

This is a true breakthrough in the installation and ownership of protection and control systems. Replacing the need for thousands of copper wires in a substation, the Multilin HardFiber System replaces the copper wires with a few fiber optic cables.

Reducing this need to install and maintain copper wires, used for signaling and monitoring in substations, utilities can now save up to 50% of protection and control installation and maintenance costs, while at the same time increasing worker safety and power system reliability.
