World Wide Electrical Safety Technology (WWEST) has achieved a significant milestone with its Design Compliance Certification to Australian Standards AS/NZS 3000:2018 (Electrical Installation Wiring Rules) for its groundbreaking HRE/RVT Technology Earthing Designs.
This certification marks a pivotal moment, as it not only validates the innovation but also paves the way for extensive market opportunities both nationally and globally across various industry sectors including construction, industrial, commercial, and residential (Class 1-10), particularly in the renewable energy sector.
WWEST’s Residual Voltage Technology (RVT) stands out as a game-changer in electrical protection, offering rapid isolation capabilities for both AC and DC voltages across all global earthing systems. The technology boasts several industry-first features:
- Safely isolation of both AC and DC voltages
- Detection of both Current and Voltage by combining with an RCD
- Voltage sensing at a predetermined 43v (+/- 5%)
- Voltage Monitoring Tripping Current at 10mA (Hospital grade)
- Lightning immunity in all final sub-circuits
- Capacitive Leakage Current restricted to 1mA
- First Responders Emergency Stop (cuts Solar and Mains power instantly)
- Insulation Protection Level to Class 11 (Double Insulation)
- Correct Polarity at socket outlets
- Triggering on AC Waveform both half cycles in less than 20msec
This innovative restructuring of the protective earth (PE) at the final sub-circuit promises a smoother and safer transition for our nation and unlocks numerous global markets. Furthermore, the development of WWEST technology is poised to drive down costs and enhance energy efficiency outcomes, making it a win-win for both consumers and industries alike.
The urgency of this advancement is underscored by the changing global landscape caused by the inclusion of renewables into the energy infrastructure. International Standards have failed to address the change that PV Solar Panels, Power Inverters, Battery Storage Systems, EV cars, EV charging stations, and EV scooters and bikes bring to electrical distribution systems, thus the need for standardized, reliable safety technologies/systems cannot be overstated. The documented cases of electrical incidents, fires, and fatalities in the wake of the rapid expansion of the renewables sector serve as poignant reminders of this pressing issue.
Call to Action: Collaboration and Partnerships
In light of these challenges and opportunities, WWEST invites collaboration and partnerships from industry stakeholders, regulatory bodies, research institutions, and other relevant entities to collectively ensure the widespread adoption and implementation of this cutting-edge technology. By joining forces, we can not only mitigate electrical safety risks but also catalyze the global transition towards safer, more sustainable energy systems. Together, let us forge a path towards a safer and electrifying future.
