Arc flash is one of the most severe electrical hazards in the industry, and one of the most underestimated. It is possible to walk onto a site where every switchboard has a label, the safety management system references AS/NZS 4836, and the maintenance team genuinely believes they have it covered only to find when the […]
Data Centres Are Becoming Grid Risk Assets: What the New AEMC Draft Rules Mean Farayi Nyausaru May 18, 2026 AEMC & Grid Connection 6 minute read Hyperscale data centres are now treated by the AEMC as active grid participants, not passive loads. Key facts at a glance New NER threshold 30 MW Triggers the new technical […]
Soil resistivity testing is a key input for safe and compliant earthing design. GridServe provides Wenner method soil resistivity testing and earthing design reporting for solar, BESS, EV charging, commercial developments and utility connection projects across Victoria. Our reports are prepared for use in DNSP connection applications and earthing studies, including projects connected to AusNet, […]
Australia experiences some of the most intense lightning activity in the world. For commercial, industrial, and infrastructure assets, a robust Lightning Protection System (LPS) is not just a safety requirement — it is an essential investment in business continuity.Designing a system that meets Australian Standards (AS1768:2021) requires a deep understanding of local conditions, risk assessment […]
A well-engineered earth grid is the foundation of every safe electrical installation. In Australia, where fault currents can be enormous and site conditions range from wet coastal clay to bone-dry outback rock, getting earthing design right is one of the most technically demanding tasks in power engineering. At GridServe, we design and model earth grids […]
