11 End of life
Insulating gas
The equipment contains the fluorinated greenhouse gas SF
6
with a global warming potential
(GWP) of 22800
[2]
.
CAUTION
Danger of suffocation and environmental damage due to SF
6
A high concentration of SF
6
in the air can cause suffocation. Larger amounts of SF
6
in the
atmosphere can cause environmental damage.
⇨ SF
6
has to be reclaimed and must not be released into the atmosphere.
⇨ For use and handling of SF
6
, observe IEC 62271-4: High-voltage switchgear and control
gear - Part 4: Handling procedures for sulfur hexafluoride (SF
6
)
Before recycling the materials, evacuate the SF
6
gas professionally and prepare it for further use.
For further information, please contact the Siemens Service Hotline.
Recycling
The switchgear is an environmentally compatible product. The components of the switchgear
can be recycled in an environmentally compatible way by dismantling into sorted scrap and
residual mixed scrap. After evacuating the insulating gas, the switchgear mainly consists of the
following materials:
▪ Steel (enclosure and operating mechanisms)
▪ Stainless steel (vessel)
▪ Copper (conductor bars)
▪ Silver (contacts)
▪ Cast-resin based on epoxy resin (bushings and post insulators)
▪ Plastic materials (switchgear and fuse tripping)
▪ Silicone rubber
The switchgear can be recycled in ecological manner in compliance with existing legislation.
Auxiliary devices such as short-circuit indicators have to be recycled as electronic scrap. Any
existing batteries have to be recycled professionally.
As delivered by Siemens, the switchgear does not contain hazardous substances as per the
Ordinance on Hazardous Substances applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany. For
operation in other countries, the locally applicable laws and regulations must be observed.
