The environmental impact of electrical equipment is under unprecedented scrutiny, placing switchgear technology at a crossroads. While SF6 gas is an excellent insulator and arc-quencher, it is also a potent greenhouse gas-2. The industry is responding with vigor, developing SF6-free alternatives for GIS. Research initiatives are focused on cost-effective switch designs using air or fluoroketone-air mixtures (commercially known as AirPlus™) as the interruption and insulation medium-2. This transition represents a significant technical challenge to match the performance of SF6, especially at higher voltage levels. For environmentally conscious projects, specifying green switchgear is becoming a key requirement. The China Electrical Equipment Supply Chain Platform is at the forefront of this sustainable transition. We actively source and promote innovative, eco-friendly switchgear from partners engaged in cutting-edge R&D. Sinotech Group is committed to providing solutions that not only ensure grid reliability but also align with global sustainability goals. If your project has specific environmental mandates or you wish to explore the latest in SF6-free switchgear technology for MV applications, we invite you to contact us for the most current product information and availability.
