Eaton has shipped its one-millionth SF6-free air-insulated switchgear panel in the same year that it is celebrating 60 years of leadership in the development of vacuum switching and air and solid insulated switchgear technology. Its SF6-free switchgear systems are installed across multiple applications and various industry segments on more than 3000 reference sites around the world.

Marcel Buckner, Business Development Manager Sub Saharan Africa at Eaton South Africa, commented: “Eaton was the industry's original manufacturer of green, SF₆-free switchgear that has been on the market for decades and beats the total lifetime cost of ownership compared to most SF₆ solutions. Having supplied air-insulated medium-voltage systems to more than three thousand reference sites worldwide, we’ve proven that there is no real barrier for the market to switch to SF₆-free switchgear.”

Production of its SF₆-free medium-voltage switchgear is set up in the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa and Australia to meet demand. This compact switchgear made use of cast resin insulation, which enabled the construction of safe and compact switchgear.
