Abstract: Environmental awareness and resource efficiency require new technologies. To minimize the emission of fluorinated gases (F-gases), Siemens has developed innovative solutions using alternative technologies that enable the F-Gas-free, easy, and secure transmission of electrical power.
The new 8VN1 vacuum clean air gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) for up to 145 kV combines proven vacuum-switching technology with the advantages of clean air as the insulation medium.
Vacuum interrupting technology allows clean air to be used as the insulating medium in gas-insulated switchgear up to 145 kV. Clean air technology from Siemens is the first F-gas-free insulation for high-voltage GIS, and it supports the company’s goal to develop completely environmentally friendly technologies. Clean air technology has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 0. Clean air is composed of 80 percent N2 and 20 percent O2, cleaned and free of humidity.
