Guardian Series Relay
Integrated Current Injector
The Guardian – Integrated Current Injector is a network adapted hardware/software innovative solution, designed for removing high risk work activities whilst dramatically reducing testing downtime by up to 90%. The design and manufacture of the Guardian series relay ensured cross functionality and adaptability on your existing electrical infrastructure
Portable Current Injector
The Guardian – Portable Current Injector was manufactured for mining operations without the network enabled underground workings. Still easily retrofitted to all existing High Voltage and Low voltage infrastructure, it encompasses a portable robust injector unit, to both conduct statutory testing and capture all results.

Innovative Electrical Switchboards and Substations for the Western Australian Mining Industry
Practon Power Equipment is a licensed electrical contractor with extensive experience working within the Western Australian mining industry. We have an in depth understanding of the requirements of underground mining and have identified and corrected some common issues with the design of electrical switchboards and substations.
We have made significant investments integrating the latest in switchboard and substation technology into our designs. By leveraging from the latest innovations in modular switchboards, we ensure our products not only comply with the latest standards but exceed them. Our switchboards are electrically compliant to AS/NZS 61439-2 with the objective to ensure all personnel are safe in the operation of switchgear even in the event of a fault.
Additionally, the implementation of arc fault detection modules are utilised to ensure any arc fault event will trip the main in-coming supply, this can be configured at the low voltage incoming supply or the high voltage supply. All faults detected are then logged on the integrated control system for future investigation.
Australian industry is constantly searching for safer ways to manage the many hazards of doing business. In most cases, local and international standard organisations play a pivotal role in driving equipment selection, hazard quantification and risk management practices. In the electrical sector, Australian Standards, underpinned by harmonisation policy to IEC standards, provides pathways to achieve consistent positive engineering outcomes.
Practon VR: Virtual Reality Training
Practon Group have seen firsthand the challenges in ensuring electricians are properly trained in the safe switching and maintaining of high voltage equipment and associated infrastructure. To address this, we have developed Practon VR, a virtual reality training platform consisting of a series of immersive virtual reality environments to train electricians in the safe operation of high voltage switchgear and familiarise them with site systems and procedures.
Cutting Edge Training
We leverage from the latest in emerging virtual reality technology and present an innovative new way to deliver training content, maximise trainee engagement and ensure verification of competency.
Using the Practon VR platform, we quickly and conveniently turn any 3m x 3m space into a cutting-edge training facility. Simulating your equipment, in your environment and following your procedures to deliver an unsurpassed training experience.
This technology opens many new opportunities such as remote training and collaboration, where the trainer and trainee can interact over large distances within the same VR environment.
Safe To Fail Experience
Using virtual reality as a training tool provides a safe environment to fail without the consequences of the real world. This maximises training outcomes whilst minimising the risk, time and cost to your company.
By providing a zero-risk virtual training environment, the trainee is not exposed to live high voltage hazards such as electrocution or arc flash. It also negates the possibility of damaging expensive and mission critical electrical infrastructure.
This allows trainees to experiment, fail safely and try again without any real-life consequences. Once their competency has been verified in virtual reality they can move on to live equipment more safely.
Improved Retention
The best way to learn a new skill is by completing it yourself. Learning by doing not only increases the speed of training but also improves long term retention of information and skills.
We can customise Practon VR to reflect your specific equipment, environment and procedures so that trainees are learning exactly what, where and how to complete high risk electrical tasks. This reduces mistakes in the field and potentially saves lives.
It also provides an easy and cost effective way to run training refreshers at more frequent intervals, prior to shutdowns or when attempting unfamiliar or hazardous works.
