Sustainable growth with AirSeT MV innovation

Medium voltage switchgear is a critical component of electrical distribution. Urbanization and economic growth further drive infrastructure expansion. A significant part of the MV equipment deployed in the electrical network contains SF₆ gas, which has a high global warming potential (GWP). Our green SF₆-free AirSeT technology offers a way to reconcile growth implications and rapidly accelerating renewable generation and electrification with a sustainable approach to reducing your greenhouse gas inventory.

A win-win for operational and environmental safety

Combining pure air insulation, vacuum technology, and digital capabilities, our SF₆-free AirSeT MV innovation offers unprecedented improvements for the operator, as well as public health and safety. On the one hand, it delivers solid and proven solutions for safer network management; on the other hand, it avoids human-made gases, thus eliminating the risks associated with leaks or toxic by-products.
