The Siemens is a single-busbar, metal-enclosed, gas-insulated switchgear for medium-voltage secondary distribution (typically up to 24 kV ). It is part of Siemens’ blue GIS portfolio, meaning it uses clean air (vacuum switching + natural insulation gas) rather than SF₆. This positions it as a future-proof, environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional SF₆ switchgear.
