Australian Market
For Australian Market: Australia, New Zealand
Australia
- Voltage standard: 230V (single phase), 50Hz (actual power supply is often close to 240V).
- Main issues
- Natural disasters: Bushfires and thunderstorms cause regional power outages or voltage surges.
- Remote areas: Western Australia and the Northern Territory have poor grid stability, and voltage fluctuations can reach ±15%.
- Household needs
- Protect high-value equipment: air conditioners (peak electricity consumption in summer), home theater systems, and photovoltaic inverters.
- Lightning surge protection: IP66 protection level is required in areas with frequent thunderstorms (such as Queensland).
New Zealand
- Voltage standard: 230V (single phase), 50Hz, actual power supply is stable, but cables are vulnerable in earthquake zones.
- Main issues
- Earthquake risk: Grid infrastructure is vulnerable to earthquake damage, resulting in short-term voltage interruptions.
- Rural areas: Voltage fluctuations (±10%) are common in mountainous areas of the South Island.
- Humid climate: High humidity in coastal cities (such as Auckland) accelerates equipment corrosion.
- Household demand
- Moisture-proof voltage stabilizer: Protect garage tools and water heaters (high humidity on the coast).
- Earthquake emergency: UPS integrated equipment that automatically restores power after a short power outage.
Common characteristics and strategic recommendations
1. Natural disasters drive demand
- Australia: Lightning strikes, fires → Lightning protection + high temperature resistant design.
- New Zealand: Earthquakes, humidity → Earthquake-resistant structure + moisture-proof coating.
