Unlike air-insulated alternatives, gas-insulated technology allows for enhanced dielectric strength and operational longevity.
Why Choose Gas-Insulated Switchgear?
Gas-Insulated Switchgear, often referred to as GIS, uses SF₆ gas as an insulating and arc-extinguishing medium. This provides several advantages:
- Reduced footprint compared to traditional switchgear
- Higher safety margins, especially in harsh environments
- Sealed structure minimizes dust and moisture ingress
- Extended service life and reduced maintenance cycles
Le Air-12T630-25 model is a prime example of how Appareils de commutation isolés au gaz technology enhances electrical distribution in compact installations.
