Safety Guidelines

Microgrids are local electrical grids with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. It is able to operate in grid-connected and in island mode. A ‘stand-alone microgrid’ or ‘isolated microgrid’ only operates off-the-grid and cannot be connected to a wider electric...

An electrical enclosure is a protective casing designed to house electrical components and equipment. To enhance the safety and effectiveness of electrical enclosures, smoke seals are employed to prevent the escape of smoke in the event of a fire, thus safeguarding both the internal...

These are electrical devices used to measure alternating current. They produce a proportional secondary current in their output. However, revenue grade CTs are specially made to give highly accurate and reliable output typical of commercial and industrial applications, normally meant for billing and metering...

Split-core current transformers are devices that are central in electrical measurement and protection, ensuring that electrical systems are managed and monitored. If you are an electrical engineer or technician, or any other user simply interested in electrical components, getting to know more about split...

3in1 CTs are sets of current transformers that save space by having all three phases built in to 1 component. A current transformer is an instrument that measures and keeps track of the current in a circuit. It works by producing a reduced current,...

Regowski coils are a type of current transformer used to a large extent for measurement of alternating current. Walter Regowski, a German engineer, designed these coils, whose characteristic is the fact that they are air-cored and flexible in a way, and they are mainly...

In Australia, effective management of your energy is going to require an understanding of the role of Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs). Each state has its DNSPs, and there could be multiples in each state. Knowing your local DNSP will help you make informed...

Get ready to dive headfirst into the future of renewable energy at Smart Energy Queensland 2025 in  August. This event is going to shed light on how Queensland’s energy sector is propelling towards a futuristic makeover, highlighting never-before solutions and unprecedented opportunities in innovation....

Circuit breakers play a very important role in the world of electrical safety, in both industrial and residential settings. These are necessary for preventing faults in electricity and ensuring that electrical systems function properly, and they are available in different types that can be...

Fault levels are crucial for ensuring electrical systems operate safely. The Wiring Rules mandate that protective devices must handle any overcurrent up to the prospective short circuit current at their installation point. Incorrectly rated equipment can be hazardous, and overrating can be unnecessarily costly....
