Leading SF₆-free Gas-Insulated Switchgear for Sustainable Power Distribution

Nuventura manufactures SF₆-free gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) for 24 kV and 36 kV medium-voltage applications.

Our pioneering dry-air insulation technology eliminates SF₆ greenhouse gas while delivering industry-leading performance: 2500 A rated busbar current capacity, full IEC 62271-certification, and maintenance-free operation. As the leading SF₆-free switchgear manufacturer, we provide environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional gas-insulated switchgear without compromising reliability or performance.

Our innovative medium-voltage switchgear solutions replace SF₆ – the world's strongest greenhouse gas – with pure dry air whilst using vacuum circuit breakers, ensuring complete compliance with EU F-gas regulations and future environmental standards.
