Fluorine gas-free energy distribution for medium-voltage applications

Fluorine gas-free switchgear is a hot topic in the energy sector because this new approach contributes to sustainable power distribution. On this page you will find all information about the sustainable switchgear portfolio from Siemens.
Our innovations enable our customers to make power distribution sustainable and at the same time future-proof. At Siemens, we believe that the only right technological approach is to replace fluorinated gases completely. That’s why we’re eliminating not only the climate gas SF6, but all F-gases and chemical additives.

Stephan May, CEO of the Distribution Systems Business Unit at Siemens Smart Infrastructure
