High Voltage Conference - Brisbane

High Voltage Conference - Brisbane

9th Australian High Voltage Conference - Overview

Due to popular demand, the 9th Australian High Voltage Conference will convene in Brisbane, in July 2023. It is to be held at the Rydges South Bank. The conference is designed for those working with high voltage systems in mining, on industrial plants, in oil and gas, and in the utilities. 

By attending this event, you will be at the forefront of Australia's move to adopt a modified version of IEC 61936-1, which will supersede AS 2067. This is an important development in the industry, and attending the event will enable you to gain a comprehensive understanding of the technical changes involved and their implications for the industry as a whole.

The event will also encompass the latest technologies, research and case studies in high voltage design, testing, installation, commissioning and maintenance. This is a 'must attend' event for professionals engaged with high voltage systems within various sectors including mining, industrial plants, oil and gas, and utilities.
