The IEC 60834-1 standard, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) , applies to remote protection command systems generally used to transmit command information in connection with protective equipment. This standard describes the performance requirements and defines test methods for command-type remote protection equipment. The information transmitted by remote protection equipment can be in analog or digital form.
Remote protection control equipment related to the IEC 60834-1 standard is a carrier frequency on power line or audio frequency equipment used in various telecommunications systems, such as power line carrier current, radio links, optical fibers, leased circuits, and licensed or specialty cables. It may also be digital equipment used with a digital telecommunications system or media, such as optical fibers, radio links, digital leased or licensed links. Remote protection control equipment may be separate or supplied as part of the protection equipment.
In addition to the performance tests of the remote protection equipment, tests of the power supply of the remote protection equipment are required. All tests should be considered type tests. In the international electrotechnical dictionary, type testing is defined as a test performed on one or more devices of a particular design to verify that this design meets certain specifications.
The requirements for command-type remote protection systems in the IEC 60834-1 standard are grouped under the following headings:
The recommended test methods for performance testing are:
In short, remote protection is a protection system tasked with monitoring the state of the grid, isolating faults and preventing damage to critical parts of the electrical grid.
