description In this work the use of an experimental setup for studying the network security level of power electronic devices is proposed. A methodology which represents the individual stages of the studying process of the network security level of power electronic devices is also developed. To prove the applicability of the developed experimental setup, two power distribution units were studied. The experimental setup is simple and easy to implement. It uses well known tools for network security analysis and traffic monitoring. From the experimental studies carried out, it was found that the two power distribution units have similar network vulnerabilities and the exchange of the information is unsecure. From the penetration tests carried-out, expected results were found, but unexpected ones were also found. The experimental results prove the applicability of the developed experimental setup for studying the network security level of power electronic devices.
