News, SF6-free

We launch our revolutionary technological solutions for an SF6-free future.

After years of experimentation and subsequent validation with the main players in the electricity market, we are presenting our fluorinated gas-free innovations for 24 kV public distribution networks.

At Ormazabal, we are stepping on the accelerator on our “route to zero” with the launch of our SF6-free technological solutions for the public distribution market. On the occasion of CIRED 2023 (International Conference of Electricity Distribution), and after more than 10 years of development and research, we present sbp.zero24 and cgm.zero24, the two primary and secondary distribution innovations, which leave SF6 gas behind to face a future free of fluorinated gases.

Thus, thanks to the innovation and technical knowledge of more than 55 years of experience in the integration of electrical networks, we welcome new digital native developments, which base electrical insulation on natural industrial air: manufactured in a controlled and tested manner, only with air components and commercially accessible and free of patents.

Aimed at the 24 kV public distribution market, our new solutions allow distribution network operators to maintain the same safety, reliability and performance as with current SF6 equipment, reducing the environmental impact. This has been achieved by maintaining the same design, operation and maintenance parameters as the equipment that has been installed in the electrical grid for more than 30 years.

This launch is in line with our commitment to the European objectives of climate neutrality and the well-being of the population, promoting the electrification of our society. Challenges that are part of our DNA and in which we actively collaborate through the digitalization of the electrical grid, which facilitates the connection of electric mobility, storage, and renewable energy infrastructures.
