Neutral Voltage Displacement (NVD) is one of the important protective mechanisms in electrical systems to detect single-phase-to-ground faults. The shift in the neutral voltage relative to the ground potential is monitored for fault conditions, and appropriate action is initiated by protection relays to protect...

An upgrade of the electrical switchboard is a crucial task to maintain the safety, efficiency, and compliance of your building’s electrical system. A switchboard is the central distribution point for electricity in a property, and an outdated or overloaded system can pose great risks,...

One of the most important topics in sustainability reporting is Energy use, since it has an impact on resource scarcity, climate change, and other issues. In its GRI 302: Energy standard, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) offers helpful recommendations for impact disclosure pertaining to...

Micrologic trip units of Schneider Electric are advanced electronic devices used to provide protection, monitoring, and control for power circuits and loads. Schneider Electric’s circuit breakers are composed of units that streamline solutions to enhance reliability in systems, energy management, and improved overall operational...

From January 1, 2025, the Corporations Act 2001 will make it mandatory for all companies in Australia to report upon sustainability. That will further integrate Australia into global initiatives aimed at standardization and harmonization of climate-related financial disclosures. It will also strengthen transparency and...

A distribution board is the heart of your electric system. It lets you distribute single incoming power from the mains supply into several smaller, protected circuits. Each circuit is usually fitted with protection devices such as fuses, circuit breakers, or Residual Current Devices (RCDs),...

A Motor Control Center, MCC, is a centralized system for managing multiple electric motors, usually in large industrial or commercial facilities. It consists of sectionalized parts that share a common power bus, integrating motor starters, protection devices, and communication features all designed to provide...

The AS/NZS 5033:2021 standard is comprehensive safety and installation guidelines for photovoltaic (PV) array electrical systems. As the solar energy industry continues to grow, this is very important. Published in November 2021, the updated standard introduces significant changes aimed at enhancing consumer safety and...

Off-grid solar power systems generate electricity through solar panels and store it in batteries, making them independent of the power grid. These systems provide continuous power supply by storing surplus energy produced during the day for use at night or during periods of low...

LSI types of Circuit breakers are provided with the capability to render long-time, short-time, and instantaneous protection integral to safe and efficient operation of the electrical systems. Such types of circuit breakers are commonly known as “LSI” or “LSIG” circuit breakers. LSI is the...
