- The innovative SM AirSeT medium-voltage switchgear, free of greenhouse gases, are deployed in
Milan depots' charging infrastructure for its bus fleet, which will be 100% electric by 2030 - Digital and connected solutions allow smart and efficient energy management and ensure greater continuity of service
From ambition to action
In pursuit of its ambitious sustainability goals
Using panels with this technology avoids 560 tons of greenhouse gas emissions, according to
"Thanks to our capacity for innovation, we can satisfy the most stringent end-to-end sustainability requirements without any compromise in terms of performance, efficiency, and operational optimization," said
Why SM AirSeT with pure air technology?
Until recently, SF6 switchgear technology was the best and only way for switchgear to meet installations' compact size and insulation requirements. The downside of SF6 is its high global warming potential (GWP) and the need for it to be carefully handled when equipment is retired. Now, however, there is an SF6-free alternative technology called SM AirSeT to reduce environmental impact and eliminate costly gas treatment at the equipment's end of life.
SM AirSeT uses only pure air insulation combined with a new Shunt Vacuum Interruption (SVI)TM technology created by
SM AirSeT has received
SM AirSeT also retains the same operating methods as traditional switchgear, so it is easy to use and requires no additional operator training. In addition, it uses arc flash mitigation technologies that increase operator safety and it supports new modes of interaction – such as interfaces that use augmented reality for virtual switchgear access.
