MultiSync™ 100 Modernize time synchronization for power systems Precise Time Accurate time synchronization is required to coordinate the actions of protective relays, generator controllers, distributed resources, power system controllers, energy storage, and microgrids. Every device must be synchronized to the same time source to ensure coordinated action. Traditional time synchronization methods have shortcomings, such as the separate analog copper wiring required for IRIG-B or the lower accuracy of SNTP/NTP over Ethernet networks. Synchronization • Supports IEEE 1588-2008 and C37.238-2011 for power system applications • Operates as a master clock or ordinary clock The MultiSync 100 uses the IEEE® Standard 1588-2008 for Precision Clock Synchronization Protocols used in Networked Measurement and Control Systems, as well as the C37.238-2011 IEEE Standard Profile used in Precision Time Protocols within Power System Applications. As a result, the MultiSync 100 provides highly accurate time synchronization, and allows for the gradual retirement of less accurate or more costly methods. • Part of complete GE end-to-end timing solution for protection and control • Integrates into existing time synchronization networks by supporting traditional time synchronizing methods Key Benefits • Supports latest 1588-2008 and C37.238-2011 standards for Ethernet-based time synchronization • Upgrade existing substations to 1588 support without replacing existing time synchronization infrastructure • Provides accurate time synchronization for protection and control applications through MultiLink™ Ethernet switches, Multilin™ Universal Relays and Multilin 8 Series Relays • Designed and tested specifically for rugged environments such as utility substations Supports Common Methods • IEEE 1588-2008 / C37.238-2011 • NTP/SNTP • IRIG-B • Modified Manchester Applications • Power substations for synchrophasor and grid modernization applications • IEC® 61850 process bus sampled value applications • Industrial Ethernet for time-based control • Upgrading legacy installations to IEEE 1588 • DCF77 • TTL Flexible Design • Compact size and DIN rail mountable case for easy mounting • Tested to substation environmental standards • Wide range, Isolated power supply

The need for cost-effective, accurate time synchronization Upgrade to IEEE 1588 at low cost Accurate time synchronization is becoming a critical requirement in today’s power system substations. For example: • Synchrophasor measurements to support wide area monitoring systems and remedial action schemes require time synchronization accurate down to 1 microsecond • Merging units, that publish sampled values for use by protective relays, meters, and control devices require time synchronization accuracy of 25 microseconds • Coordinating fault records and event logs across multiple devices...

A complete end-to-end solution for IEEE 1588 The MultiSync 100 clock is a 1588 GrandMaster clock that can be synchronized to a GPS satellite, and also an ordinary clock synchronized to a local or system wide 1588 GrandMaster clock. The operating mode is determined by the Best Master Clock algorithm. The MultiSync 100 supports both IEEE 1588-2008 and the C37.238-2011 Power Profile. Specifics of the 1588-2008 implementation are as follows: The MultiSync 100 is part of a complete end-to-end 1588 time synchronization solution for power system substations and industrial applications.
