Description

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...35...40.5 is a medium voltage ring main unit insulated with G3 gas (a sustainable alternative to SF6).

It has the advantages of compact structure, fully enclosed, fully insulated, long service life, maintenance free, small indoor space occupation, reliability, and low environmental impact.

It is suitable for various occasions and meets the needs of different users. Very suitable for industries such as small and medium-sized secondary substations, switching stations, factories and mines, airports, railway lines, residential areas, multistory buildings, highways, subway stations, tunnel construction, etc. 

 

Key Features & Advantages

  • Eco-friendly G3 Insulation:99% lower GWP than SF₆, same insulation & arc-quenching performance. Meets CIGRE and ISO 14001 standards.

  • Maintenance-free & Durable:IP67 gas/fuse compartments, annual leakage rate <0.1%. 3mm stainless steel chamber for harsh conditions.
