Dry air insulated switchgear (AIS) uses dry air instead of traditional gas or oil. This innovation offers several advantages, including a reduced environmental impact and lower maintenance requirements. The use of dry air contributes to improved safety and operational efficiency, making it an ideal choice for modern power systems.

The order includes the installation of multiple switchgear units, which will be deployed in substations throughout the region. These substations play a crucial role in transforming high-voltage electricity from power plants into lower voltages suitable for distribution to homes and businesses.

Mitsubishi Electric’s dry air insulated switchgear is particularly well-suited for urban areas due to its compact design. This allows for easier installation in locations where space is at a premium. Additionally, the technology is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

This order for 84kV AIS represents a significant step forward in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of Japan’s power distribution systems. As the country seeks to transition to more sustainable energy sources, reliable power distribution becomes increasingly important. With its environmentally friendly design and compact size, this technology is well-positioned to meet the challenges of modern energy demands while supporting the country’s transition to a more sustainable energy future.
