Welcome to the Hirschmann Power Zone
The well-engineered, ruggedized product family enables Hirschmann to supply innovative solutions for power station and substation applications. You need products with excellent noise immunity and a wide operating temperate range to maintain communications in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields.
In the future, more and more users will be looking for total solutions which go beyond the substation – to include power generation and distribution. The new indestructible Hirschmann substation switches for Fast-ETHERNET applications deliver excellent performance in a compact form factor. These switches offer high port density (up to 26 ports), excellent RFI/EMI shielding under extreme conditions and great flexibility.
The ruggedized Hirschmann substation switches have been specially designed to handle demanding electrical power generation and distribution applications. The switches are ideal for new installations and retrofit of existing substations where ambient temperatures can be extremely high. The devices provide outstanding performance in transportation, industrial automation and military applications. Railroad optical networks, passenger information systems in train stations and onboard trains, conveyor systems, runway lighting at airports, marine applications, traffic surveillance on superhighways, bridges and in tunnels are just a few examples. Hirschmann’s MACH1000 switches provide reliable service in military applications (e. g. on board naval vessels), where Industrial ETHERNET is now becoming the standard.
Product features:
- IEC61850-3 and IEEE 1613 conformity
- Extended temperature range: – 40° C up to + 85° C
- User-selectable port assignment
- Extremely high RFI/EMI immunity
- Integration into redundant HIPER-Ring topology
- Fast switch-over/resiliency: < 50 ms
- OpenRail (MICE and Rail) are also substation approved – using H variation
- Fast-/Gigabit-ETHERNET technology
- Maximum efficiency
Besides the MACH1000, Hirschmann’s OpenRail series of compact switches is also a good choice for substation applications. Simply select the “H” approval rating when you configure your system.
A tool is available at configurator.hirschmann.com to help you configure your OpenRail Switches.
