Sustainability is of utmost importance to us!

As a long time former developer and manufacturer of SF6-free medium-voltage switchgears, we have a wealth of experience in project planning and the implementation of sustainable solutions.

SF6-free, liquid-insulated medium-voltage switchgear

The trend for medium-voltage switchgears is clearly moving in the direction of greenhouse gas-free designs. Whenever possible, we use SF6-free products such as the compact MV ECOS-C switchgear when designing transformer stations.  

ECOS-C – the SF6-free medium-voltage switchgear

As the slimmest compact circuit breaker in its class, the ECOS-C offers you an SF6-free and user-friendly solution. All panels are equipped with high-quality, vacuum tube circuit breakers and automatic circuit reclosers (ACRs).

The type-tested, metal-encapsulated single busbar system is suitable for a wide range of applications and demanding requirements.  “Made in Germany by Driescher” since 2018.

The heavy-duty system for rated voltages up to 24 kV and rated currents up to 630 A is available in 2 to 7-field designs. Individual blocks can be lined up as required by using a simple busbar tap.
