Hitachi Energy – Hitachi Energy introduces 800 kilovolt SF6-free breaker at IEEE conference in Chicago

Highest ratings ever realized without SF6 will be applied in North Americas new ultra-high voltage transmission grid:

• Hitachi Energy introduces SF6-free dead tank circuit breakers for ultra-high-voltage applications at the IEEE PES T&D Conference in Chicago.
• The technology addresses a longstanding challenge in high-voltage engineering of eliminating SF6 while maintaining system reliability and dielectric performance.
• The development reflects a shift in the sector towards transmission solutions that meet environmental and resilience requirements without compromising technical performance.
