As Australia's energy demand rises, utility providers are under pressure to comply with evolving standards to safeguard critical assets. The new Australian Standard AS4044:2024, effective from November 15, 2024, focuses on ensuring compliance and protecting essential equipment like battery chargers and stationary VRLA batteries. This updated standard introduces guidelines tailored for Australian environmental conditions to enhance equipment longevity and reduce operational risks. Key features of the standard include compatibility with modern equipment, limitations on neutral current, built-in battery charge control, updated cable color standards, and compliance with EMC standards. Asset owners using Intelepower Systems can be assured of compliance with AS4044:2024 by Century Yuasa, ensuring optimal performance and safety for critical systems. Ventilation is a crucial aspect of maintaining DC Power Systems safely. Australian Standards mandate that hydrogen concentration in battery rooms or enclosures must remain below two percent to avoid explosion risks. While some opt for plastic ventilation tubes in VRLA battery valve covers, this method often fails to meet the required standards, leading to risks such as insufficient ventilation, gas pocket formation, maintenance hazards, and hydrogen release under fault conditions. Century Yuasa emphasizes adherence to natural ventilation principles outlined in AS2676.2 to ensure safety and compliance with ventilation standards. With over 30 years of experience, Century Yuasa offers future-proof energy solutions and expertise in industrial power systems to help utilities achieve safe and reliable operations. By aligning with AS4044:2024 and ventilation standards, Century Yuasa stands as a reliable partner for compliant energy solutions in Australia and New Zealand.
