FEATURES

Toshiba pioneered the development of numerical

Typical VDU screens
substation automation technology during the 1980s
and has since built a wealth of experience in
supplying systems for all voltage ranges including
UHV substations.
GSC1000 is today’s state-of-the-art system compliant
with the IEC 61850 standard for substation
communications and provides the following features.
