Symbols Explanation
RMS The equivalent a.c. current:
Taking into account the fundamental, plus the equivalent heating effect of any harmonics.
Abbreviation of “root mean square”.
RP Abbreviation of “Rear Port”:
The communication ports on the rear of the relay.
Rx Abbreviation of “Receive”:
Typically used to indicate a communication receive line/pin.
S1 Used in IEC terminology to identify the secondary CT terminal polarity:
Replace by a dot when using ANSI standards.
S2 Used in IEC terminology to identify the secondary CT terminal polarity:
The non-dot terminal.
SCADA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
remote communications interfaces of the MiCOM relay
SCL Substation Configuration Language:
In IEC 61850, the definition of the configuration files.
SCSM Specific Communication Service Mappings:
In IEC 61850, the SCSMs define the actual information exchange mechanisms currently used
(e.g. MMS).
