SF₆-free switchgear is in our DNA

Power Xpert UX 36 uses vacuum technology instead of SF₆. This eliminates the risk of leakage and minimizes maintenance costs as well as expensive end-of-life disposal procedures due to all materials being re-usable or recyclable. Eaton has been pioneering SF₆-free medium voltage systems for more than 60 years, with over a million SF₆-free switchgear panels installed across the globe.
