Overview
The air insulated switchgear (AIS) redefines eco-friendly power distribution for 12kV three-phase AC systems. This sf6 free switchgear replaces harmful greenhouse gases with zero-grade dry air or 99.99% pure nitrogen, achieving a material recycling rate exceeding 90%. Furthermore, this medium voltage switchgear design combines a compact footprint with strong environmental adaptability for both indoor and outdoor deployment. As a result, this ring main unit delivers maintenance-free, intelligent, and environmentally responsible distribution across a wide range of industrial and urban applications.
Product Features
Zero-Emission Insulation:This mv switchgear replaces SF6 entirely with dry air or nitrogen, requiring no gas recovery treatment after leakage.
IP67 Stainless Steel Enclosure:The 2.5mm-thick laser-welded stainless steel shell gives this metal enclosed switchgear outstanding corrosion resistance and reliable sealing performance.
Maintenance-Free Vacuum Technology:Every electrical switchgear unit uses vacuum arc-extinguishing technology, with all conductive parts sealed inside the gas tank for minimal maintenance.
Five-Prevention Interlocking:The mv panel operation room integrates a complete five-prevention mechanical interlock system, preventing all common operator errors.
Modular Flexible Configuration:This electrical rmu supports free combination of circuit breaker and load switch modules via dedicated busbar connectors to fit any project layout.
Smart Grid Integration:Each medium voltage rmu ships with a digital relay protection device and optional toroidal current transformers for distribution automation compatibility.
Compact Space-Saving Design:The explosion-proof diaphragm and three-position switch design make this ring main unit ideal for space-constrained urban distribution environments.
Application Scenarios
Challenge: Aging SF₆ switchgear leaks toxic gas, violating F-gas regulations (EU 517/2014) and inflating lifecycle costs.
AIS Role:
Eliminates all SF₆ → Zero global warming potential (GWP) vs. SF₆ (GWP = 23,500× CO₂).
Slashes maintenance costs by 25–40% (no gas monitoring/recovery).
Accelerates grid upgrades with modular, space-optimized designs.
Challenge: Remote locations requiring reliable, low-maintenance gear resistant to humidity/temperature swings.
AIS Role:
Prevents performance degradation in coastal/desert climates (air insulation immune to condensation).
Avoids SF₆ leaks that trigger environmental penalties (EPA/FERC).
Boosts ESG compliance for Scope 3 emissions reporting.
Challenge: Dusty/humid factory floors where SF₆ leaks risk explosions or toxic exposure.
AIS Role:
Zero-toxicity design → Safe operation near workers/equipment.
Withstands contamination (IP4X-rated enclosures for dust/water).
Reduces unplanned downtime by 30% via accessible modular bays.
Challenge: Strict sustainability mandates and zero tolerance for gas leaks near servers.
AIS Role:
SF₆-free topology aligns with corporate net-zero pledges (e.g., Google/Microsoft).
Mitigates fire/explosion risks from pressurized SF₆ (critical for uptime SLA compliance).
Lowers cooling loads vs. heat-trapping SF₆ cabinets.
Challenge: Explosive atmospheres or confined spaces where SF₆ leaks endanger personnel.
AIS Role:
Non-pressurized design removes rupture risks (ATEX/IECEx certified).
Operates flawlessly at -40°C to +50°C (SF₆ liquefies below -30°C).
Simplifies disposal (100% recyclable steel/aluminum vs. toxic SF₆ cleanup).
