Revolutionary innovation contributes to green upgrading

R43HCNAR2NSVS00 So how do you improve the sustainability of your distribution system while simultaneously achieving impeccable power reliability and network security? As a global company with a strong interest in sustainability, Schneider Electric has provided Groupe Renault with innovative solutions based on AirSeT technology, enabling it to achieve multiple improvements in environmental protection, operational reliability and easy maintenance.

R43HCNAR2NSVS00 AirSeT technology brings a powerful innovation in the use of dry air to replace sulfur hexafluoride in power distribution equipment, and it is launched in response to the need for low carbon transformation of power distribution systems in various industries. Benefiting from this technology, Schneider Electric has launched GM AirSeT, RM AirSeT and SM AirSeT, a series of medium voltage switchgear without sulfur hexafluoride, which can help users get rid of the dependence of sulfur hexafluoride gas in the distribution system and provide practical support for the circular economy.

At the Frings plant, Groupe Renault selected SM AirSeT medium voltage switchgear as a powerful way to reduce the greenhouse gas effect of the plant, which is used in the plant’s emergency backup network power supply circuit, mainly for two industrial buildings and one Grade III building. SM AirSeT uses dry air as an insulating medium, combined with innovative SVI parallel vacuum breaking technology and digital technology, which bring a combination of environmental and economic benefits to the plant.

R43HCNAR2NSVS00 First, SM AirSeT avoids the use of greenhouse gases or alternative gases in the electricity network of the recycling plant, which significantly improves the environmental benefits. At the same time, SM AirSeT also simplifies the disassembly process, eliminating the need for costly and complex greenhouse gas recovery and disposal steps at the end of the equipment’s useful life, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership over the life cycle of the equipment while protecting the environment.
