Dry Air vs SF6 Switchgear -- Which insulation medium should you specify for your next medium-voltage switchgear or ring main unit project?

For decades, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has been the default insulation and arc-quenching medium in medium-voltage switchgear. It is excellent electrically — but it is also the most potent greenhouse gas known, with a global warming potential around 23,500 times that of CO2 and an atmospheric lifetim

SF6-Free RMU

SF6-Free RMU

G3 (Green Gas for Grid) is a sustainable alternative to SF6, consisting of a fluoronitrile-based gas mixture (e.g., 3M™ Novec™ 4710) blended with CO₂. It provides equivalent insulation and arc-quenching performance while reducing the global warming potential by more than 99% compared to SF6. RMR-33.

Ring Main Unit (RMU): Function and Selection

The RMU is the "capillary" core of urban distribution networks and industrial power systems. It is a factory-assembled, metal-enclosed set of switchgear used at the load connection points of a ring-type distribution network. I. Core Functions of the RMU The primary objective of an RMU is to ensure h

Why Do SF6-Free Ring Main Units Favor "Vacuum Interruption + Eco-Friendly Gas Insulation" Over the All-Solid-Insulation Route?

Among the technical pathways for replacing traditional SF6 gas in eco-friendly ring main units, the current mainstream approach is "vacuum interruption + eco-friendly gas insulation" (using dry air, nitrogen, or C4/C5 gas mixtures). Although the "all-solid-insulation" route emerged earlier, it has n
