The Cutting-Edge Future of High-Voltage Technology
Breaking the Grid’s SF₆ Dependency – A New Era of Sustainable High-Voltage Innovation
Join us as we drive the transition to a more sustainable and efficient energy landscape.
Redefining Power Systems
-
Environmental Concerns:
SF₆ is the most potent greenhouse gas, 23,500x more harmful than CO₂.
Its long atmospheric lifespan and impact on climate change.
Regulatory Pressure:
Governments are phasing out SF₆ with strict policies (EU bans, U.S. regulations).
Grid Modernization Needs:
SF₆-based switchgear is aging and costly to maintain.
Utilities need future-proof, scalable alternatives.
-
High Dielectric Strength – Matches SF₆ for electrical insulation.
Superior Arc Quenching – Enhances circuit breaker performance.
Eco-Friendly – Non-toxic, abundant, and does not contribute to climate change.
Scalability & Cost-Effectiveness – No inventory or recycling concerns like SF₆.
-
SF₆-Free Circuit Breakers – 72kV and 245kV models.
MVDC & HVDC Hybrid Breakers – For modern power grids.
scCO₂-Based Switchgear – Next-generation installations.
Use Cases: Offshore wind, substations, utility-scale power.
-
Regulatory Pressures: G20 Nations and EU have committed to addressing climate change through by reducing Green House gas emissions via the Paris Agreement and other international frameworks.
Utility Commitments: Major utilities and grid operators are actively seeking SF₆-free solutions to meet carbon neutrality goals.
The Rise of DC Grids: The global push for more efficient, high-voltage DC (HVDC) grids is driving demand for next-generation MVDC and HVDC circuit breakers that are SF₆-free, highly efficient, and reliable—key to integrating renewables, offshore wind, and energy storage systems.
Future-Proofing the Grid: Investments in next-gen switchgear and circuit breakers are ensuring compliance, reliability, and cost-effective long-term operation in both AC and emerging DC power networks.
