New insulation gases as alternatives to SF6 have been presented in the last years. The main focus has on technical performance and reduced global warming potential compared with gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). Another very important aspect for customers is environmental impact safety all operational situations, well during leaks or even internal arc failures. This study introduces a solution using AirPlus™ an gas mixture, results of comparison tests GIS air-insulated switchgear.
