09 November 2017 - A draft of AS/NZS 5033:2014 Amendment 1 has just been released for public comment.
This amendment requires that all DC isolators used on a PV system are of type DC-PV2. This is a new type of DC isolator specifically designed for PV applications. There are also new requirements for switch enclosures. These changes are a consequence of a number of safety issues with various DC isolators used in the past, and has been driven by the safety regulators.
This is an amendment to the 2014 version - that means it is not a new version.
The committee wants comments specifically to the changes in the amendment. Other aspects of the standard will not be considered at this time.
