Understanding Fault Managed Power

In 2020, operators, manufacturers, and industry standards bodies began to investigate the potential for a new distributed power technique that could deliver more power in a safe environment for technicians and the public. A new distributed powering technique called fault managed power was developed imposing no power limit under normal operation, but precisely limit energy transferred under a fault condition to mitigate shock and fire hazard.

The Next Era For Standby Float

The demands of customers involved in standby float (often referred to as stable grid) applications are ramping up dramatically. Here a float charge is used to constantly maintain the batteries in a full state of charge (SoC) condition – so that they are ready to respond to any interruptions in the mains supply, should that occur, and the connected load can still be supported. In the past, it was mainly the lifespan of batteries that mattered for such applications. Now, expectations are being raised in relation to other properties.
