The Through Mode test is performed to ensure that the communication equipment correctly supports the C37.94 standard, allowing data to pass through without being processed; the xGenius or Zeus tester verifies that this functionality works correctly.

The xGenius tester is equipped with two independent 10Gbs ports capable of testing network clocks to verify synchronisation capabilities using multiple master and slave PTP configurations.

This Post is an introduction to the long haul communication protocols that manage the power utility infrastructures. We are using timing as the key perspective while following the installation and commissioning good practices.

C37.94 is a widely used method in the industry for protecting power lines. It automatically trips a breaker on a line in the event of a fault, to isolate the fault and minimize damage to equipment and interruptions to power supply.

xGenius and Zeus can simulate TDM network dynamics by generating impairments on a line that controls the C37.94 protection protocol. It is essential to test the impact these errors may cause in the lab or the field.

Protection schemes, such as C37.94, have the objective of keeping the Power System stable and isolated. For correct function the control of latency, latency variations and asymmetry is fundamental.
