When we talk about the SF₆ ban, we often focus on Europe. But the shift toward sustainable switchgear is not only happening because of regulation, it is also happening well beyond EU borders. Take Unison in New Zealand. With over 119,000 customers and a 9,000 km network, Unison is one of the country’s major electricity distributors. When planning a new project in Hastings, they had a choice: stick with convention — or future-proof their grid. They chose Nu1. Together with our partner RPS Switchgear, we delivered 8 panels of SF₆-free GIS: ✔ 36 kV rated ✔ 25 kA short circuit current ✔ 1250 A busbar current ✔ Delivered. Installed. Operational. 📥 Curious how global grid operators are making the switch?

How an Automatic Changeover Works Manual changeovers can be stressful, especially when power fluctuates unexpectedly. In this video, I’ll break down how a fully automatic changeover system works seamlessly switching between power sources without any manual intervention. This upgrade improves: • Safety • Convenience • System efficiency • User comfort If your building still uses a manual changeover, it may be time to upgrade.

#𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐀𝐆𝐋 Battery ageing is inevitable—but in solar airfield lighting (AGL), system design and management determine how well performance is maintained over time. A robust #solar AGL system doesn’t simply rely on battery size; it instead manages charging, discharging, and light output intelligently to maintain brightness and autonomy year after year. When solar #AGL batteries start to deplete, some older systems automatically reduce brightness, which can lead to uneven illumination and less safe airfield operations. Modern systems prevent this by using smart control algorithms that maintain stable light output regardless of battery charge. Through adaptive brightness management, intensity adjustments are made intelligently—such as dimming during low-traffic hours—without allowing the light to flicker or fall below compliant photometric levels, ensuring both safety and operational reliability. Rather than specifying a fixed lifespan, SALA recommends focusing on system-level performance metrics: autonomy under worst-case conditions, consistent photometric output, and documented usage intervals. Properly managed, a well-designed solar AGL can maintain compliant brightness and operational readiness for many years—with minimal manual intervention. #SolarAGL #BatteryManagement #AirfieldLighting #SALA

Anti-backflow principle: By detecting power in real time at the grid connection point (CT/electricity meter), the inverter adjusts the active power output in a closed loop or switches to charging to ensure that the active power at the grid connection point is ≤0, thus preventing electricity from being fed back into the grid (anti-backflow).

Do you have a minute? There’s a fascinating 60-second film about distributed intelligence in HVAC systems I just had to share ☺️ It shows how using a single master pump in traditional HVAC systems really isn’t very energy-efficient – and how using smaller, distributed pumps that intelligently adjust to demand in real-time can save up to 54% energy. It’s a game-changer for driving efficiency in commercial buildings. Take a look if you’re into smart tech and energy savings! 💡🌍 There’s much more to discover on distributed intelligence in HVAC systems at: http://gfos.ly/60427Gujo #EnergyEfficiency #BuildingInnovation
