Solution	E.ON partnered with Schneider Electric to implement their new SF6-free switchgear technology for a pilot project in Norrköping. The technology, insulated with pure air and powered by advanced digital technologies, was durable and cost-effective, complying with E.ON's current substation solutions. The collaboration between Schneider Electric, E.ON, and local substation manufacturer KL Industri was successful, with the new SF6-free solution being easy to install, sparing E.ON's customers prolonged power outages. Along with the SF6-free solution, E.ON also implemented the Easergy T300 remote terminal unit (RTU), which enables greater insight into network operations. This allows the company to monitor the network status, spot faults early to minimize interruption time for its customers, and better plan network maintenance. Read More Log in to view content
