Understand the total cost of ownership of medium voltage switchgear
The EU, together with other European countries seems likely to ban the use of global warming SF6 gas in medium voltage switchgear from the late 2020s.
SF6-free medium voltage switchgear technology is a well-established alternative, widely available in the range up to and including 24kV, and its total cost of ownership could be lower than you think.
In this white paper we set out why SF6-free medium voltage switchgear amounts to such a good choice. We examine the upfront cost, the lifetime costs, and explain why choosing SF6, which is a powerful greenhouse gas, could soon cease to be an option in Europe.
