High Voltage Conference Brisbane 2024

10th Australian High Voltage Conference - Overview

The 10th Australian High Voltage Conference, scheduled for July 2024 in Brisbane at Rydges South Bank, promises to be an essential event for professionals engaged with high voltage (HV) systems across various sectors such as mining, industrial plants, oil and gas, and utilities.

It will address the imminent adoption of a modified version of IEC 61936-1, superseding AS 2067, marking a significant industry shift. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the technical changes and their broader implications.

The conference will showcase the latest technologies, research, and case studies in HV design, testing, installation, commissioning, maintenance and arc flash safety. Discussions will encompass a wide range of HV components and equipment, including substations, cables, transformers, and switchgear. Emphasising sustainability and reliability, the event will explore challenges in HV equipment maintenance and propose forward-thinking solutions through adherence to standards, regulations, and strategic maintenance programs.
