The revolutionary SM AirSeT MV switchgear marks a bold move away from SF₆ gas to the best gas: pure air.
It draws from the legacy of the established SM6 switchgear, with an installed base that exceeds 1.5M, and uses proven and reliable vacuum technology while keeping all functionalities and connectivity for a no-compromise approach.

SF₆-free SM AirSeT Medium-Voltage switchgear
Features and benefits
SM AirSeT represents a huge step forward for electrical distribution and protection of the environment, with:
● Dramatically increased sustainability to help meet your decarbonisation targets and cut your greenhouse gas inventory. Ingenious technology based on pure air and Shunt Vacuum Interruption (SVI)™ eliminates Global Warming Potential (GWP) issues, regulatory considerations and the need for gas recovery at the end of life.
● Unparalleled efficiency from a cutting-edge design and seamless transition. Improved mechanical endurance with hi-tech CompoDrive. Flexible and comprehensive portfolio of all switchgear functions, including switch-fuse with plug-and-play motorisation. Powerful IoT connectivity enables asset health monitoring with advanced sensor technology for reduced downtime risk and costs.
● Enhanced operator safety with arc-flash detection and nearby control for remote operation and monitoring. Additionally, neither alternative gases are used nor toxic by-products produced in current breaking.
