Solving private electricity grid connection projects can bring substantial challenges for protection, control and network synchronisation. With recent industry growth in distributed generation, backup generation connection and renewable energy integration, Brisbane-based switchgear manufacturer NOJA Power has announced a new ground mount kiosk recloser product. The GMK integrates a standard NOJA Power OSM recloser system with RC control but augments the offering with any additional peripheral sensors, earth switches or protection not typically available in a pole top solution. Developed through collaboration projects in the Australia Pacific region with mining, private enterprise and utility partners, the NOJA Power GMK acts as an integrated solution for connection of distributed generation. For mining companies, the product allows for semi-mobile switchgear installation, which can be repositioned on site as requirements emerge. The additional environmental protection offered by the total stainless steel design ensures that any auxiliary protection or communication equipment is insulated from hazardous environments.
