Schneider Electric., the pioneer in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has unveiled a complete preview of its latest sustainable, digital, AirSeT medium-voltage (MV) switchgear ranges, at the Innovation Summit World Tour, Schneider Electric’s annual customer and partner event.
Schneider continues to develop and expand AirSeT ranges in line with its commitment to build a full SF6-free MV portfolio, and to meet requirements of different geographies and end-markets with sustainable MV switchgear. The gas-insulated (GIS) GM AirSeT MV is a breakthrough primary GIS technology for electrical networks and demanding applications in industrial buildings and critical infrastructure.
“As we prepare to release our latest green and digital MV switchgear in additional major geographies, we are eager to share this preview of our most sustainable medium voltage technology. It’s a great example of what can be achieved when we combine our expertise in smart, connected electrical equipment with our dedication to sustainability and environmentally conscious design,” commented Frederic Godemel, Executive Vice President of Power Systems and Services at Schneider Electric.

With a suite of digital functionalities, GM AirSeT delivers stronger performance and efficiency across an extended operational lifetime of the electrical system. Those include smart pressure monitoring, environmental monitoring, circuit breaker and 3-position disconnector monitoring, and substation monitoring.
Designed for industry and utilities, GM AirSeT joins other Schneider Electric SF6-free medium voltage solutions contributing to the global fight against climate change, including:
-
RM AirSeT™ – a gas-insulated (GIS) Ring Main Unit (RMU) equipping grid operators with a powerful tool to decarbonize and modernize the grid while enabling electric distribution utilities to improve operational performance and reliability
-
SM AirSeT™ – designed specifically for secondary power distribution applications using air-insulated switchgear
