SEL-2488 Satellite-Synchronized Network Clock-1

SEL-2488 Satellite-Synchronized Network Clock Advanced Time Synchronization Major Features and Benefits The SEL-2488 Satellite-Synchronized Network Clock receives Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) time signals and distributes precise time via multiple output protocols, including IRIG-B and Network Time Protocol (NTP). The advanced capabilities of the SEL-2488 make it well suited for critical infrastructure applications, such as synchrophasors and event recording, as well as for larger substations with multiple timesynchronization requirements. ➤ Precise Time Accuracy Meets Demanding Requirements. Outputs demodulated IRIG-B time with ±40 ns average accuracy, ±100 ns peak accuracy, to UTC to enable sub-microsecond time synchronization for synchrophasor applications and IEC 61850-9-2 Sampled Measured Values. ➤ Holdover Oscillator Maintains Accuracy if GPS is Unavailable. Maintains average accuracy of 36 µs for 24 hours at constant temperature with standard Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) holdover. With optional Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) holdover, average accuracy improves to 5 µs for 24 hours at constant or varied temperature. ➤ Thirteen Standard Outputs Provide Flexible Time Distribution. Distributes time from eight BNC outputs that can be configured to output demodulated IRIG-B, PPS or kPPS. As many as four of the BNC ports can be configured for modulated IRIG-B. There is also a DB-9 port for IRIG-B or pulse output. The SEL-2488 also includes four standard Ethernet ports. These ports, which provide NTPv4, can be ordered in pairs and are available in copper, single-mode fiber, or multimode fiber. ➤ Dual Power Supplies Offer Redundancy. Provides an option for a second power supply that can receive power from a second source. SEL-9330A power supplies support 125–250 Vdc or Vac input, and SEL-9330C power supplies use 24–48 Vdc. ➤ Satellite Signal Verification Provides Assurance. Receives signals from both GPS and GLONASS satellite systems for verification to provide a level of protection from GPS spoofing attacks. ➤ DHCP, LDAP, and Syslog Support Ensure Easy and Secure Integration. Makes commissioning faster and more secure with DHCP captive portal, LDAP authentication, and Syslog event messaging. ➤ Ruggedness Provides Reliability in Harsh Environments. Operates reliably between –40° and +85°C (–40° to +185°F), and complies with IEEE 1613, IEC 61850-3, and IEC 60255 standards. ➤ Easy-to-Use Interface Streamlines Device Management. The intuitive SEL-2488 HTTPS device webpage with SkyView™ simplifies configuration, management, and troubleshooting. Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc.
