Siemens breakthrough at primary distribution for 40,5 kV level with F-gas free blue GIS
8DAB 40 blue GIS switchgear
Developed based
on industry-leading vacuum-interrupter technology, this highly innovative
switchgear is Siemens’ first step to address 40,5 kV market requirements, enabling
environmentally-friendly grid expansion without fluorinated
gases. By combining Clean Air, consisting of natural-origin gases, for
insulation with proven vacuum-interrupter technology, blue GIS is supporting customers’
endeavor to reduce their carbon footprint and paves the way for a more
sustainable future.
“As
utilities and industries strive to meet ambitious targets to decarbonize and
digitalize grids, they are looking for sustainable, intelligent and future
proof products also for higher voltage ratings,” says Stephan May, CEO of
Electrification and Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
“Our sustainable and innovative 8DAB 40 blue GIS is the answer to an eco-friendly energy transition. Using Clean Air and vacuum-interrupter technology, all the benefits of a conventional 8DA/B switchgear up to 40,5 kV level are kept. The 8DAB 40 offers the same performance while keeping identical panel dimensions and utilizing technology that has proven to be successful and reliable for more than 40 years. Designed on the pillars of the Siemens DEGREE program, it has a reduced CO2 footprint throughout its lifecycle, making it a sustainable switchgear.”
8DAB 40
switchgear with its modular and compact design is suitable for various critical
infrastructure applications, like data centers, semiconductor manufacturing
industries, and green hydrogen production. It further offers excellent
reliability and safety, thanks to its sealed-for-life and single-pole enclosed design,
making the 8DAB 40 an ideal choice for utilities and other critical industries
looking to reach their sustainability targets.
Offering
numerous benefits thanks to its integrated digital technologies, the 8DAB 40
was developed with the highest focus on cyber security, and provides real-time
monitoring, remote control, and diagnostics capabilities. Customers reap the
rewards of improved operational efficiency, reliability, and safety. Thanks to
real time condition monitoring, 8DAB 40 allows predictive maintenance to reduce
downtime and maintenance costs.
