AIR-12 Eco-friendly Gas-Insulated Ring Main Unit
AIR-12 is a self-developed, next-generation 12kV medium-voltage gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). By housing multiple functional units and connecting busbars within a fully sealed, laser-welded stainless steel gas tank, it ensures zero exposure of live parts, maximum operating safety, and a highly compact footprint.
Description
Functions and Core Roles
- 100% Eco-Friendly (Zero SF6): Utilizes eco-friendly insulation gas (Dry Air/N2) instead of SF6, ensuring zero greenhouse gas emissions and future-proof regulatory compliance.
- Maintenance-Free & Weatherproof: The IP67-rated sealed enclosure completely isolates live components from moisture, dust, and salt spray. Built to withstand extreme outdoor and harsh environments with zero primary-circuit maintenance required.
- Smart Grid Ready: Factory-integrated with advanced sensors and automation terminals (DTU/FTU) for real-time temperature, pressure monitoring, and remote control capabilities.
