ABB has launched two revolutionary switchgears to the Chinese market, leading the revolutionary innovation and development in the field of switchgear and fully meeting the current and future needs of customers for digital transformation and sustainable development.
ABB helps electrify the world in a sustainable way.
As more and more megacities emerge in the world, the demand for space-saving electrical solutions such as compact switchgear is also growing. During the 2020 ABB Electrical Innovation Week, ABB released a new gas-insulated switchgear PrimeGear ZX0, which adopts SF6-free innovative technology and is equipped with ABB's latest digital solutions, which will be better suited for medium-voltage power distribution tasks.
As the world's first "shared" switchgear with green gas and SF6, customers can replace the insulating gas in an environmentally friendly manner at any point in the life cycle of the switchgear, regardless of the power, industrial or infrastructure industries.
It is understood that PrimeGear ZX0 (12 kV and 24 kV) will be available in all of Asia by the end of 2020, and the rest of the world (except ANSI) will be available in the second quarter of 2021.
As a reliable insulating gas, SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) gas-insulated switchgear has been widely used around the world for more than 50 years. Although SF6 has excellent insulating properties, it also has a high global warming potential and is a potent greenhouse gas. With the upgrading of environmental protection policies in various countries and the introduction of relevant laws and regulations, SF6-free switchgear will become a trend.
For more than a decade, ABB has been developing SF6 replacement solutions for medium-voltage gas-insulated switchgear. With the new PrimeGear ZX0, ABB has developed a "multi-purpose" solution. PrimeGear ZX0 is universal for SF6 and environmentally friendly gases (dry air or AirPlus gas), which have a GWP of less than 1. As an alternative, this means that customers can choose SF6 insulating gas first and easily switch to AirPlus gas or dry air in the future.
At ABB, our vision is to contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. We focus on bringing cutting-edge products and solutions to empowering operations and driving positive change in the industry through innovation. With PrimeGear ZX0, we combine SF6-free switchgear technology with digital technology to provide customers with customized solutions. We work with our customers to help them easily achieve green alternatives and build a more sustainable future. "
Intelligent technology empowers the switchgear. The use of digital current and voltage sensors makes installation and commissioning faster and easier. The highly reliable status monitoring function enables the switchgear to have self-awareness capabilities. No matter where it is, it can provide Real-time status information.
