When to contact DNSP
Practical trigger points for separating AUWiring calculator records from Australian DNSP connection and supply discussions.
DNSP hand-off purpose
AUWiring calculators can prepare useful numbers for solar, battery and EV work. DNSP questions are different. They depend on network area, connection process, export conditions, supply capacity and project documentation.
This guide identifies when the calculator record should hand off to a network or project review.
Workflow
- Prepare the relevant calculator record.
- Record equipment ratings and point of connection.
- Check whether export, load management, supply capacity or connection conditions affect the project.
- Gather live DNSP or project documents before relying on the result.
- Recalculate if the DNSP condition changes the equipment setting or design basis.
Trigger table
| Trigger | Why it matters | Prepare before contact |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter export setting | Controls how the inverter operates on the network | Inverter rating, export basis and connection point |
| EV load addition | May affect supply-capacity discussion | Charger load row and maximum-demand worksheet |
| Battery operating mode | May affect import, export or backup behaviour | Battery, inverter and BMS data |
| Voltage-rise concern | Network voltage can affect inverter operation | AC cable result and network context |
| Connection condition unclear | Live project documents control the next action | DNSP area, project reference and equipment data |
Boundaries
- Do not use AUWiring as a DNSP process source.
- Do not treat a tidy worksheet as a connection condition.
- Do not ignore export or load-management settings.
- Do not reuse another project's network answer.
