5 Reasons to Transition from SF6 to Pure Air in MV Switchgear

5 Reasons to Transition from SF₆ to Pure Air in MV Switchgear

As electrification increases and renewable penetration grows, so too does the need for more medium voltage switchgear. This equipment commonly uses sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆), a man-made gas with a very high global warming potential.

The electricity industry invests in a more sustainable and digital future, and thus seeks green alternatives to SF₆. Compared to other alternative gases for MV switchgear, pure air is quickly emerging as the superior choice. This eBook explains why this particular MV technology is a superior choice for:

Environmental safety
Operational safety
Ease of maintenance
End-of-life treatment
Functionality and performance
Policy compliance
