More than 30 million units of medium-voltage switchgear installed worldwide use sulfur hexafluoride (SF
6), a potent greenhouse gas. Eliminating the use of SF
6 is a significant step toward safer, more environmentally friendly switches. This paper discusses how, beyond boosting safety, an innovative new SF
6-free technology is:
- Cost-effective thanks to an ingenious design
- Sustainable with vacuum interruption (VI) and air insulation
- Easy to transition thanks to the small footprint associated with traditional switchgear
