NTS8600

Advanced SyncPro: IEC61850-3 HV & IEEE 1613 Certified NTP Server & IEEE 1588 PTP Grandmaster

Overview

IEC61850-3 HV & IEEE 1613 Certified NTP Server & IEEE 1588 PTP Grandmaster with -40 to +85°C Operating Temperature Our state-of-the-art NTP Server and IEEE 1588 PTP Grandmaster NTS8600 is fully certified to IEC61850-3 HV & IEEE 1613 standards, ensuring robust performance and reliability in harsh substation environments. Designed to deliver precise time synchronization across your entire power grid infrastructure, this device offers superb accuracy and stability. The IEC61850-3 HV & IEEE 1613 certification guarantees that our NTP Server & PTP Grandmaster can withstand electromagnetic interference, temperature fluctuations, and other environmental stresses typical of substation settings, ensuring uninterrupted performance and enhanced system reliability. High Precision Timing Rigorously tested by Calnex Solutions, a leader in network synchronization testing, the NTS8600 series delivers exceptional time precision, ensuring your power applications’ synchronization needs are met with the highest standards of accuracy. Featuring proven PRTC-B accuracy within 40 ns, IEEE 1588 PTP accuracy within 40 ns, and NTP accuracy within 50 μs, this Grandmaster guarantees precise time distribution across your network. Superior Holdover Performance The performance of GMC holdover is important because it ensures continuous and accurate time synchronization during interruptions of primary time sources. The NTS8600 series delivers exceptional holdover performance, achieving less than 0.5 μs drift within 8 hours, as measured by Calnex Solutions. Additionally, when the system enters holdover mode, it will adjust the corresponding protocol attributes based on power profiles and proactively send notifications via alarms and syslog. 85ºC -40ºC 0.5 NTS8600 Series
