AS/NZS 4777.1:2024

An IPSD (Inverter Power Sharing Device) manages the distribution of power from a single PV system to various apartments or units. For example, a 40 kW PV system on a building’s roof can supply eight apartments. The IPSD controls how this energy is shared...

EV Supply Equipment (EVSE) is essential for electric vehicles (EVs), influencing how they connect with the grid or other loads. It comes in two main types: DC EVSE and AC EVSE. Each type serves different needs and offers unique functionalities: DC EVSE This type...

One significant change involves ganged devices, particularly when isolating inverter systems. Previously, each inverter required separate isolation, which could be cumbersome. Now, if you have more than two Inverter Energy Systems (IESs) connected to a switchboard and those IESs are on a ganged switch,...

The latest update to AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 introduces important changes to how main switch is managed in inverter energy systems (IES). This new standard simplifies the setup, making it easier to manage and safer to operate. Here’s a closer look at how the new rules...

The new AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 standard introduces a key change: interface protection now replaces central protection. This update is crucial for commercial and industrial PV systems, especially for those under 200 kVA. By raising the threshold and focusing on interface protection, the standard offers several...

The AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 standard is now released! It introduces several significant changes that simplify regulations, clarify definitions, and enhance system safety. Here’s a summary of the key updates and their implications: Removal of Stand-Alone Mode Definition The new standard does not recognize the stand-alone...

The AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 standard introduces new definitions for supply types, aiming to simplify understanding and application. These big changes clarify how various power systems interact with the grid and manage supply. Here’s a breakdown of the new definitions: Normal Supply The “Normal Supply” is...

The AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 standard introduces significant updates that impact both solar energy systems and electric vehicle (EV) integration. This new update includes important changes, particularly regarding new definitions: Inverter Power Sharing Devices (IPSD) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. Inverter Power Sharing Devices (IPSD) The 2024...

The recent update to the AS/NZS 4777.1 standard introduce some changes and one of this is the removal of the Stand-Alone Mode. This shift aims to streamline compliance and simplify system integration for inverter energy systems (IES). What’s Different? The previous standard of AS/NZS...
