Prof. Du Yaping was Awarded an RMB1.4 Million Project Funded by Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau (SPSB)

In January 2022, Prof. Du Yaping was awarded an RMB1.4 million project on Key Technologies for Proactive Protection against Electric Shock in Urbane Villages (城中村”低壓配電系統防觸電關鍵技術研究), funded by Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau (SPSB).

In response to increasing concern of fatalities caused by electric shock, with the help of the joint PolyU/SPSB Electrical Safety Laboratory, this project will focus on developing a robust safe-failure and economic solution for village buildings where the electric shock risk is extremely high due to the poor workmanship of electrical installations, non-standard-compliant design and ageing of electrical equipment.
