Western Automation Research & Development Limited is an Irish-based specialist in electrical safety and protection. The company designs and develops advanced solutions that detect fault currents in both AC and DC installations, provide arc-fault detection and protection, and safeguard electric-vehicle charging systems with pilot-control technology. Their expertise also extends to photovoltaic (PV) applications, delivering robust protection for renewable-energy installations.

Working closely with many of the world's largest switch-gear OEMs, Western Automation supplies its technology as components, sub-assemblies, finished products and licensed IP. Core product families include Arc-Fault Detection Devices (AFDD/AFCI), Residual-Current Devices (RCD/GFCI) and dedicated charging protection modules. By integrating these solutions into client designs, the firm helps prevent electric shock and ensures rapid disconnection when hazardous currents are detected.
