Canada: To accomplish our goal to remove harmful substances and materials from our surrounding environment, Trench Group is collaborating with Pfiffner to take another milestone.

In a joint statement both manufactures express their clear commitment to pure air as future technology to remove SF6 insulation from their products. Trench Group and Pfiffner will foster the future development of the air-based technology for AIS instrument transformers and collaborate on standardizing aspects which are relevant to customer (e.g., diameter of filling devices). This finally leads to a significant reduction in complexity for transmission operators and their service teams.

“Trench and Pfiffner, both leading manufacturers of AIS high voltage instrument transformers with SF6 insulation, with the aim to support decarbonization efforts, commit to focus their development activities in this product application on entirely F­gas free solutions. Both companies consider pure air as a suitable solution in AIS applications to reduce the environmental impact to the maximum extent possible and contribute significantly to the decarbonization required to safeguard our planet,” says in the statement.
