Although SF6 has a GWP that’s 25,200 times that of CO2 and lasts around 3,200 years in the atmosphere, its excellent insulation qualities have meant it is still commonly used in electrical switchgear.

The new 3VA UL Large Frame MCCBs enable users to implement powerful, safe, and smart systems while allowing them to improve and greatly simplify their work processes.

The External Manual Operator (EMO) is a standard feature of the Russelectric RTS-03 Series and RTS-30 Series of open-transition automatic transfer switches.

The Vertiv Geist RTS was designed for the banking, health care, financial services, education, energy, government, and transportation industries that operate micro data centers, distributed IT networks, or edge facilities.  

The RTSCD meets UL1008 up to 480 VAC. It complies with NFPA 110; NEC Articles 700, 701, 702; Enclosure UL Type 1; and IBC 2018 and CBC2019 seismic standards.

Drawing on the success of multiple SF₆-free projects in the field since 2015 for 12- to 40.5-kV MV gas-insulated switchgear with reliable low-pressure design, this whitepaper guides readers through the relevant steps needed for a successful migration.

By taking advantage of the latest technological breakthroughs, it is possible to unleash greater carbon savings and benefit from the latest connectivity capabilities as the world looks ahead to a safer, smarter, and more sustainable future.

The enhanced testing, which can take from four to eight weeks to complete for each component, will take ABB’s switchgear beyond current standards to comply with the new (IEC/TS 62271-304 from Class 1 to Class 4) regulation.

Gas-insulated switchgear, widely used in MV secondary substations, conventionally contain SF₆, which has excellent dielectric and arc-extinguishing properties, but, at the same time, is the world’s most potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential 25,200 times that of CO₂.

The expanded digital capabilities of NeoGear include real-time condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, remote assistance, fault and solutions diagnostics, and data analytics for Industry 4.0.
