Free webinar – Introduction to harmonics and EMC
On 18th May 2021, our Managing Director, Graham Kenyon, is joining Alex Gray, of Thames Water, to provide an introduction to harmonics and electromagnetic compatibility. The first part of the webinar, presented by Alex, will briefly explore some theory on what makes up harmonic components, why they happen, what impact it has on the connected power system and some mitigation techniques that can be used to control them. In the second part of the webinar, Graham will outline the legal requirement for EMC and installations, introduce the concept of conducted and radiated electromagnetic phenomena, and discuss how some wiring practices can affect EMC.
The event will be hosted by Tracy Scott, of RES Group, and Tracy, Alex and Graham will be answering live questions raised during the Webinar.

New on-line course for electric vehicle charging equipment installation
** now updated to BS 7671:2018+A1:2020, and the 4th Edition of the IET Code of practice for electric vehicle charging equipment installation **
G Kenyon Technology Ltd, as a content partner with the IET Academy, has developed an on-line course for designers and installers of Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installations.
The IET Academy has now closed, and bookings are no longer possible
Course Overview
This course will cover: the design of electrical installations for, and specification of, electric vehicle charging equipment installations; the requirements detailed in Section 722 of BS 7671:2018; and recommendations of the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Installations, 3rd Edition. It provides an understanding of the key requirements for protection against electric shock, including selection and use of earthing systems, and introduces vehicle-as-storage, wireless power transfer (WPT) and smart infrastructure installations.

Working safely with energy storage and smart control technologies
Many electrical installations now incorporate new technologies, including embedded generation and home or building automation systems. As use of these technologies becomes more widespread, we need to be ever mindful that control of power to a circuit no longer relies on simple human switching operations. Electrical energy storage technologies that are capable of operating in island mode, continue to provide power when the grid is isolated.
Some incidents that have occurred recently when implementing energy storage systems outside the UK prompted Dr Andrew Crossland and myself to write an article for IET’s Wiring Matters. The article highlights the risks, and discusses safe isolation.

Further guidance on electrical energy storage systems can be found in the IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems.

7 January 2018 Principal Speaking at Seminar BS 7671:2018 18th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations Interpreted by the experts
Hear about key changes being introduced in 18th Edition, from key committee experts.
BS 7671:2018 Requirements for Electrical Installations should be used for new designs from 1 January 2019. If you’ve been wondering what has changed and what you might need to do differently, attending this update seminar just four days later will give you the answers.
The three experts have active roles in the JPEL/64 committee led approach to the IET Wiring Regulations, so are well-placed to interpret the new edition and explain how it impacts the way you work.
Benefit from the discussion encouraged throughout the day, with plenty of time for delegates to question what, why and how with our panel as well as other delegates. You won’t get such comprehensive clarification by reading articles or sifting through the Regs themselves.
