4 June 2019 – Switchgear manufacturing firm NOJA Power today confirm the release of a new software tool for remote firmware upgrade of their RC10 and RC15 controllers.

Driven by network demands for greater precision of directional detection of high impedance faults, NOJA Power have released an upgrade to their Recloser Controller firmware introducing an optional Cos Phi algorithm to their existing earth fault protection suite.

18 February 2019 – Evolution in switchgear technology has simplified renewable connection as demonstrated by a new Wind Farm in the Philippines connected to the grid using a NOJA Power OSM Recloser. This installation at Romblon in early 2019 forms part of local initiatives for sustainable energy development.

Australian switchgear engineers NOJA Power are celebrating the achievement of certification of their RC10 Recloser Controller to the IEC 61850 standard for substation communications by German certification provider TÜV Süd.

Australian Distribution Switchgear Manufacturer NOJA Power today announces the release of the 1.21.0.0 version of firmware for its RC Series Recloser controllers. NOJA Power follows a continuous development process of augmentation for the RC series controllers, providing the upgrade free of charge to existing users of the NOJA Power RC10 or RC15 products.

When presented with an ever-growing complexity of protection and automation functionality, modern Distribution Network operators are faced with a formidable challenge of interrogating and understanding network IEDs. It is, after all, their responsibility to have a solid grasp on the assets which they are charged with maintaining.

The table below shows you, in brief terms, just how much functionality has been upgraded. In retrospect, NOJA Power are well into their second decade of technology development – it’s no surprise there is an improvement in capability. The additions are all growth in a product which has been evolved over time to meet utility requirements.

As part of its ongoing commitment to developing the latest in distribution switchgear technology, NOJA Power today announces the global release of its latest Relay firmware 1.18.0.0.

31 May 2017 Brisbane Australia – If a utility engineer has ventured anywhere near an industry conference in the last 10 years it could be assumed that they have been exposed to the new universal communications and substation definition standard of IEC 61850. Whilst it has been successful in the electricity transmission space, it has seen very little usage in distribution networks.
