Siemens Introduces its First F-Gas-Free Medium-Voltage Gas-Insulated Switchgear to the U.S. Market

­Siemens is proud to release its first fluorinated-gas-free gas-insulated switchgear to the U.S. medium-voltage market. The NXPLUS C 24 - blue GIS switchgear has a lower CO2 footprint to support grid decarbonization and an arc-resistant design to help enhance personnel and equipment safety. ETL listed, the NXPLUS C 24 - blue GIS switchgear is ideal for use in substations as well as in numerous power supply applications.

With its compact design and use of a Clean Air insulation medium, the NXPLUS C 24 - blue GIS is a single-busbar switchgear for the primary distribution level of up to 24 (or 15) kV, 25 kA, 125 (95) kV BIL, 2500 A busbar current, and 2000 A feeder current. The switchgear features a hermetically sealed stainless steel pressure vessel, vacuum switching technology, and a digital protection system. Together, these elements help ensure enhanced durability, protection against industrial contamination, and a longer operational lifespan.

Engineered with the highest standards for safety in mind, as well as for minimal maintenance and environmental independence, the NXPLUS C 24 – blue GIS switchgear meets IEC, ANSI/IEEE, and CSA standards.
