Shock protection, every circuit.

Our patented technology comes with maximum sensing per circuit. Add electric shock protection to every circuit, in software, without extra bits to install.

Constantly self-tests to protect you.

Every Basis Board self-tests and flags issues. If anything is off, you hear about it. If nothing is, you don't have to wonder. Your old board was last tested the day it was installed.

For the modern home.

Expensive Type B RCDs, made accessible. Modern appliances leak DC current that Type-A breakers miss. Basis includes Type-B by software config, so you save where it would otherwise be required, like every EV install.

Sensitivity where you need it.

Every Basis circuit can be tuned as needed to the more sensitive 10 mA threshold schools and hospitals use. Pick the kids' bedrooms, the bathroom, the outdoor sockets.

Over-the-air updates, for life.

Firmware updates improve arc-fault detection, RCD calibration and power-quality thresholds for every Basis Board in New Zealand. Automatically, overnight, while you sleep. The panel in your wall protects you more capably every year it's in place.

Basis catches fires before they start.

Layers of protection for your home.

Fire protection, personalised.

Overload and short-circuit faults are handled exactly as each circuit and loads needs. Your electrician configures it in their Trade App, saving you money for any future upgrades.

Catch arcs before they catch fire.*

65% of electrical fires start with arcs traditional switchboards are blind to, unequipped to handle. Basis runs an arc-fault model on every circuit, every cycle.

Temperature-monitored modules.

Sensors detect circuit module overheating and trips the circuit. Safeguards itself against thermal threats.

Hardened at the panel.

Fire-resistant foam and fire-rated plastic housing slow and contain combustion. If something does go wrong, know that the Basis Board itself is hardened to hold it.

Main switch also protects from fire.

The main switch on your Basis Board also provides overcurrent protection as another line of defence.

*Arc fault detection: Basis ships a compliant arc-fault-detection-device (AFDD) which can be enabled for every circuit. It's currently an Alpha feature and improving from the fleet, and opt-in for users. To opt-in Contact Us.

Basis prevents early appliance failure.

Grid-side surges stopped before damage occurs.

Whole-home surge protection

Stops voltage spikes from grid events and nearby lightning before they reach your gear. Inline on every circuit, from day one.

Notified when large surges absorbed

You'll be informed when the surge protection cartridge has done its job and needs replacement.

Replaceable surge protection cartridge

Power strips and appliances may have surge protection, but it's typically non-replaceable.
