Nuventura manufactures medium‑voltage (24 kV and 36 kV) gas‑insulated switchgear that uses dry‑air insulation and vacuum circuit breakers instead of SF₆, eliminating greenhouse‑gas emissions while meeting IEC 62271‑200 performance standards. The SF₆‑free GIS offers 2300 A rated current, maintenance‑free operation, and a compact, modular design that helps utilities and industrial power distributors comply with EU F‑gas regulations and reduce lifecycle costs.

Problem
Traditional gas‑insulated switchgear (GIS) relies on sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), a potent greenhouse gas that is increasingly restricted by environmental regulations. Utilities and industrial operators must replace or retrofit existing equipment to meet EU F‑gas rules and reduce carbon footprints, often facing long lead times and complex installations.
Solution
Nuventura provides medium‑voltage (24 kV and 36 kV) GIS that uses dry‑air insulation and vacuum circuit breakers instead of SF₆. The dry‑air technology delivers the same high dielectric performance while eliminating greenhouse‑gas emissions, ensuring compliance with current and future EU regulations. Each unit is fully IEC 62271‑200 type‑tested, offering a rated current capacity of 2300 A and maintenance‑free operation. The modular design enables a compact footprint and a standardized 20‑to‑28‑week delivery and installation timeline, allowing utilities and industrial customers to upgrade power distribution networks quickly and sustainably.
Target Audience
Primary customers are electric utilities, industrial power distributors, and renewable‑energy project developers requiring medium‑voltage switchgear that meets strict environmental and regulatory standards.
