Gridcom T390
Universal Power Line Carrier (PLC) for High Voltage (HV) Transmission Lines GE’s Gridcom T390 is an integrated system, combining high performance and flexibility, which allows utilities to reliably transmit voice, data, teleprotection and other services over HV transmission lines. Using the Power Transmission Line as the Transport MediumElectrical utilities need to exchange information regarding their electrical network in an efficient and effective manner, while preserving their initial investment. Despite the growing use of digital communication systems, communications over power line is still often the most cost effective and reliable solution. Using power lines as a communication medium allows the operator to have full control, without the associated costs of renting a dedicated communication line from a telecom operator. GE’s Gridcom The Gridcom T390 is designed to be is a completely integrated universal analog and/or digital power line carrier. Engineered for power utilities' environments and constraints, Gridcom T390 provides a dependable communication link in the most demanding substation conditions. The Gridcom T390 is designed to be a robust back-up solution for critical services, and an Ethernet bridging solution to substations with no optical fiber access. Key Benefits
Key Features
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Offering superimposed mode and teleprotection over QAM for the highest LAN to LAN performance for your applications
High speed transmission for RTU: Some RTU's may require higher communication capabilities for SCADA. Some substations have to provide communication capabilities to perform remote operations such as configuration, telemaintenence, and monitoring. Since these services are mainly over IP, they require up to several hundred kbits/s for transmission.
Equipped with an Ethernet interface, Gridcom T390 can transmit LAN and WAN information from one end to the other. This feature, designed to support IP traffic transmission on energy company networks, implements an L2 bridge at network level (full transparent bridging) with advanced capabilities, compliant with 802.1q for VLAN transport, capable to go upto 320kbits/s @ 48 kHz total bandwidth in superimposed mode.
Gridcom T390 superimposed mode is desigend to allow transmission (TX) and reception (RX) to share the same frequency band. Superimposed mode is vital for digital PLC applications as it allows optimal bandwidth optimization, and can reduce the total bandwidth occupation by half.
Secure & Reliable Solution
The Gridcom T390's RADIUS Remote User Authentication and SSH encryption adapts to your centralized user management topology with guaranteed communication confidentiality and data integrity between the PLC and the user.
Enhanced Security Features for Remote Users

Front panel mounting
Integrated & Modular with Front Panel Mounting
Gridcom T390 integrates:
Each unit can be installed separately for a specific function, and can be configured to customer requirements, offering a high level of flexibility without any factory returns. All connections, including the power supply, are on the front of the unit for easy access for maintenance and checks.
Transmission Mode
Versatile System, Supporting Analog, Digital & Mix Mode
Offering perfect operational flexibility, GE’s Gridcom T390 supports Analog, Digital, and mixed transmission on the same hardware platform. Customers can purchase an analog PLC, then upgrade with a simple firmware key activation, if the condition and application allow it. Compared to a conventional chassis, the number of interfaces is not restricted by the size of the chassis.
