End of life

The equipment contains the fluorinated greenhouse gas SF
with a global warming potential (GWP) of 22 800
Danger of suffocation and risk of environmental damages
A high concentration of SF
atmosphere can cause environmental damages.
➭ SF has to be reclaimed and must not be released into the atmosphere.
6
➭ For use and handling of SF
4: Use and handling of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) has to be observed.
Before recycling the materials, evacuate the SF
use. For further information, please contact the Siemens Service Hotline.
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.
Insulating gas SF has to be evacuated professionally as a reusable material and recycled. SF
6
must not be released into the environment.
After evacuating the SF gas, the switchgear mainly consists of the following materials:
6
• Galvanized steel (enclosure and operating mechanisms)
• Stainless steel (vessel)
• Copper (conductor bars)
• Silver (contacts)
• Cast-resin based on epoxy resin (bushings and fuse boxes)
• Plastic material (arcing chamber and fuse slide)
• 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 materials as per the
