SF₆-free AirSeT innovation for medium voltage
Sustainable growth with AirSeT MV innovation
Medium voltage switchgear is a critical component of electrical distribution. Urbanization and economic growth further drive infrastructure expansion. A significant part of the MV equipment deployed in the electrical network contains SF₆ gas, which has a high global warming potential (GWP). Our SF₆-free AirSeT technology offers a way to reconcile growth implications and rapidly accelerating renewable generation and electrification with a sustainable approach to reducing your greenhouse gas inventory.
Since the launch of AirSeT, we have helped to avoid 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e)*.
*as of June 2025 — a contribution validated by third-party auditors as part of Schneider Electric Sustainability Impact.

Combining pure air insulation, vacuum technology, and digital capabilities, our SF6-free AirSeT MV innovation offers unprecedented improvements for the operator, as well as public health and safety. On the one hand, it delivers solid and proven solutions for safer network management; on the other hand, it avoids human-made gases, thus eliminating the risks associated with leaks or toxic by-products.
With AirSeT, we enable businesses and electricity companies to transition to sustainable MV technology smoothly. Our offers maintain a compact physical footprint and can be deployed as an extension to existing switchgear. The ingenuity of the air and vacuum solution allows us to offer the just-right solution for the application at hand. With EcoStruxure-ready digital technologies, the SF₆-free AirSeT MV equipment with Active connectivity helps improve safety, security, efficiency, modern asset management, and network optimization.
