Submaster RTUs used in an automated distribution system with downstream feeder RTUs is defined. Local area networks with master stations are discussed. Inteligent electronic de- vices (IEDs) with respect to their interface to RTUs and master stations are defined. New surge withstand capabilty (SWC) standards and their applicability to SCADA is shown. An example chan- nl loading calculation is provided. Keywords: automatic control, data acquisition, SCADA, supervisory control “The Instute of Electrical and Electonics Engineers, ne. ‘345 East 47th Stoo, New York, NY 10017-2894, USA Copyright © 1994 by the nstut of Electrical and Electonics Engineers, ne. ‘nirighs served.
