Description
All masters adjust correctly (and conservatively) the ClockAccuracy field when degrading (loss of GPS) but they do not adjust the variance (offsetScaledLogVariance) correctly. This is a measured value that is used in the Best Master selection. Most clocks set the variance to 0 or 65535, or to a fixed (not computed) value.
Therefore, this field is unusable in the BMCA, a clock with a very poor variance could win over another clock that claims 0 variance.
IEC/IEEE 61850-9-3 should indicate specifically that the variance has to be adjusted.
