High-Performance 35kV SF6 Gas Insulated Ring Main Units Deployed to Bolster Netherlands’ Smart Grid Reliability

As the Netherlands continues to navigate its complex energy transition and address critical grid congestion challenges, the demand for compact, high-reliability power infrastructure has never been higher. To support this infrastructure modernization, the latest shipment of 35kV SF6 Gas Insulated Ring Main Units (RMU) has been successfully deployed to key Dutch industrial and renewable energy sites. This advanced 35kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) provides a robust solution for secondary distribution networks, ensuring stable power delivery even as the national grid operates at near-maximum capacity.

Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the European market, these 35kV SF6 RMUs feature a hermetically sealed tank that houses all live components. This "sealed-for-life" technology is essential for the Dutch climate, protecting internal circuits from high humidity and salt-laden air in coastal regions. By utilizing SF6 gas—a medium with exceptional dielectric strength—the unit maintains a minimal footprint while delivering maximum performance. For Dutch grid operators, this means a significant reduction in substation real estate requirements, making it the ideal compact switchgear solution for crowded urban environments and offshore wind applications.

Beyond its physical resilience, the 35kV RMU is engineered for the future of smart grid integration. Each unit is fully compliant with IEC 62271 standards, featuring integrated sensors and remote terminal units (RTU) that allow for real-time monitoring and automated fault detection. In a country where grid flexibility is paramount, these "smart-ready" units enable operators to balance loads more effectively and reduce downtime. The inclusion of advanced vacuum circuit breaker technology further enhances operational safety and ensures a service life exceeding 30 years with virtually zero maintenance requirements.

For B2B procurement managers and energy contractors, these high-voltage gas-insulated units offer a perfect balance of competitive pricing and premium reliability. As the Netherlands ramps up its investments in EV charging networks and solar farms, having a dependable 35kV distribution partner is a strategic advantage. Our commitment to rigorous factory testing and international certifications guarantees that every unit meets the highest safety benchmarks, helping our partners secure long-term success in the evolving European energy landscape.
