The IEEE 1613-2013 standard, developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) , defines service conditions, electrical ratings, thermal ratings, and environmental testing requirements for communication network devices to be installed in electrical power substations. This standard provides a common, repeatable basis for the design and evaluation of communication network devices for use in harsh environments.
This standard describes the following for devices with communication functions used with electrical power apparatus:
This standard also describes environmental and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) immunity levels and type tests that simulate environments associated with electrical equipment. It also provides acceptance criteria for evaluating device functionality.
For devices with communication ports where the device does not perform protection or control functions, the test of communication functions falls within the scope of this standard. Where the device performs protection or control functions and has communication ports, tests for all communication functions fall under the IEEE C37.90 standard (IEEE C37.90-2005 Relays and relay systems associated with electrical power apparatus).
A later update to this standard added requirements regarding the height of the network devices installed and, if the installation is above a certain height, frequency tests of dielectric power and derating factors for nominal maximum ambient temperatures. In addition, service conditions, electrical ratings, thermal ratings and environmental test requirements are defined for communication network devices to be installed in electrical power substations. Finally, in the update made in 2013, environmental test requirements for communication network devices to be installed in transmission and distribution facilities were defined. This standard provides a common basis for designing and evaluating devices using radio frequency, powerline communication and powerline broadband technologies up to 6 GHz.
