The New Launched Product News,

• In April 2021, Siemens Smart Infrastructure introduced the 8DJH 24 switchgear, a ring main unit (RMU) for line voltages up to 24 kilovolts (kV), completely free of fluorinated gases. The climate-neutral insulating medium "Clean Air," which is made entirely of natural materials from ambient air, is used in place of the sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) form of this medium-voltage switchgear for secondary electrical distribution. The unit's central component is a blue switch that has three load-break settings and a vacuum interrupter in the auxiliary path.
