#1: Touch-Safe, Data-Smart: The Shift to Digital Electricity
In this episode, we sit down with Steve Eaves, CEO of Voltserver and the inventor of Digital Electricity, to demystify this groundbreaking technology. Often described as a mix of witchcraft and magic, Digital Electricity is powerful and safe—but what exactly is it, and how does it work?
Steve walks us through:
🔹 The origins of Digital Electricity and its role in EV charging
🔹 Packet Energy Transfer vs. traditional DC power
🔹 Why this innovation isn’t more widely known—yet!
🔹 Class 4 Fault-Managed Power and its impact on electrical codes (NEC 725 & 726)
🔹 How Digital Electricity is already being used in 5G, DAS, small cells, kiosks, and beyond
🔹 The future of power distribution, NESC trends, and what’s next in 2025 and beyond
Is Class 4 Power the key to global standardization? Can it transform how we power everything from streetlights to data centers? Join us for this deep dive into the future of power with one of the industry’s leading innovators!
