2021-1-26Siemens and Iljin Electric develop the first SF6-free 170 kV gas-insulated switchgear with vacuum switching technology. Siemens and Iljin Electric, a Korean manufacturer of electrical systems and gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), have signed an agreement to develop an SF6-free GIS for the 170 kilovolt (kV) voltage level.

The global Gas Insulated Switchgear (SF6 Free) market size is expected to gain market growth in the forecast period of 2020 to 2025, with a CAGR of xx%% in the forecast period of 2020 to 2025 and...

2020-11-4The European Union (EU) has released a report on the replacement of the SF6 gas in the switchgears. On September 30, 2020, the EU released a detailed report outlining alternatives to SF6 for use in switchgear and related equipment. The report also

ABB has achieved a significant breakthrough in switchgear technology with the development of a solution that deploys a new insulation gas mixture as a substitute for sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). This alternate gas mixture has similar insulation properties as SF6 gas now used in switchgear, but can substantially lower environmental impact due to

ABB has been developing and deploying alternatives to the greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) on the path towards greater eco-efficiency and lower environmental impact. Since more than five years ABB offers medium-voltage gas insulated switchgear (GIS) with AirPlus™, a groundbreaking eco-efficient gas mixture with 99.99% lower global warming potential (GWP).

2021-3-7Three main drivers define the development of SF6 emissions in medium voltage switchgear: network extensions, operation emissions, and end-of-life handling. The end-of-life handling has

80% of all SF6 is used in gas insulated switchgear, a vital component of the grid (isolating and protecting different sections), so it’s an energy sector issue. Nicholas Ottersbach at Nuventura (a cleantech startup developing ways to replace SF6) explains that alternatives exist, but need the help of robust regulations to accelerate further development

2021-2-5† SF6 gas tank is made of high-quality stainless steel materials, free from influence of salt spray, humidity, dirt and temperature, ensuring a durable nice outlook; † With IP67 protection degree, can reliably prevent from flood immersion in summer; † Advance gas shielded welding as well as a sealing pressure system of less

2017-12-23The SF6 gas insulated metal enclosed switchgear shall be totally safe against inadvertent touch of any of its live constituent parts. It should be designed for indoor application with meteorological conditions at site (winter 3&C to 14& C and summer 31& C to 46& C, seismic zone: IV).

2021-3-7Complete portfolio for all applications and environments. Gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear (GIS) is a compact metal encapsulated switchgear consisting of high-voltage components such as circuit-breakers and disconnectors, which can be safely operated in confined spaces. GIS is used where space is limited, for example, extensions, in city
