          "In compliance with EU regulations mandating the phase-out of fluorinated greenhouse gases in medium-voltage switchgear up to 24 kV, Regensburg Netz selected Schneider Electric’s GM AirSeT technology for a major substation overhaul in Bavaria.",
          "The switchgear replaces traditional sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) with filtered pure dry air for dielectric insulation, combined with vacuum interrupters, completely removing F-gas reporting, handling, and end-of-life recycling liabilities."

          "Each GM AirSeT panel is fitted with wireless thermal sensors on busbar connections and digital pressure telemetry reporting directly to the utility’s SCADA system, preventing thermal runaways and enabling condition-based predictive maintenance.",
          "The installation demonstrates that SF6-free primary distribution switchgear delivers identical 24 kV 25 kA short-circuit breaking capabilities within standard substation footprints."
