Webinar VOD | Enhancing Electrical Safety for Higher Voltage DC Systems

Renewable energy sources, such as solar power and electric vehicles, offer significant benefits for the environment, the economy, and society. However, they also pose new challenges for electrical safety, especially as the direct current (DC) voltages in solar fields and electric vehicle infrastructure increase. Higher DC voltages can result in higher arc flash and shock hazards, which can cause severe injuries, fires, and equipment damage.
This webinar aims to provide an overview of the current state of electrical safety in the renewable energy field, identify the main hazards and gaps in the existing standards and practices, and propose some recommendations for improving the safety and performance of solar power and electric vehicles.
