Engineered to withstand extreme ambient temperatures and load fluctuations, ensuring reliable power distribution across commercial and municipal sectors.
Iraq's power distribution infrastructure is undergoing a massive reconstruction phase, led by the Ministry of Electricity (MoE) to meet rising industrial, municipal, and commercial demands. In this transition, traditional Air-Insulated Switchgear (AIS) is rapidly proving inadequate for modern requirements due to high atmospheric pollution, extreme summer heat, and land constraints in urban areas like Baghdad, Basra, and Mosul.
Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) has emerged as the technology of choice. By enclosing circuit breakers, disconnectors, and busbars inside an hermetically sealed metal chamber filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas or eco-alternative gases, GIS systems reduce required footprint by up to 70%. Furthermore, they prevent exposure to outer environmental factors, virtually eliminating maintenance needs and protecting operations from grid outages caused by sandstorms.
Equipment deployed in Iraq must handle ambient temperatures that routinely exceed +50°C in July and August. Our GIS systems are engineered with upgraded thermal dissipation profiles and high-grade seals to prevent SF6 degradation and leakages.
In petrochemical plants across Basra, GIS provides ignition-free, explosion-proof operations, ensuring uninterrupted power delivery to refining lines and extraction wells.
Engineered and tested in full compliance with IEC standards and certified to match the specific grid requirements of the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity.

Rooted in Ningbo, Zhejiang Zeno Electric utilizes state-of-the-art production systems, from high-precision laser cutting to automated vacuum casting, ensuring premium quality control.
Zeno Electric operates out of a modernized manufacturing base in Ningbo. Our geographical location provides us with close access to Ningbo Port, one of the world's largest deep-water cargo hubs. This ensures direct, reliable sea routes to Umm Qasr Port in Iraq, lowering transportation costs and stabilizing delivery timelines.
Our raw material supply chain relies on top-grade suppliers for copper, aluminum alloys, and high-performance epoxy resin. This secure vertical integration allows us to keep production cycles short, maintaining high efficiency even during global supply chain interruptions.
| Test Parameter | Specification Target | Execution Stage |
|---|---|---|
| SF6 Gas Leakage Rate | < 0.1% per Year | Routine & Factory Acceptance (FAT) |
| Partial Discharge Level | < 3 pC at Rated Voltage | Routine Quality Inspection |
| Enclosure Protection Class | IP67 for Gas Compartments | Design Verification Stage |
| Mechanical Endurance | Class M2 (10,000 cycles) | Type-Testing Certification |
The global energy sector is actively seeking alternatives to SF6 gas due to its high Global Warming Potential (GWP). At Zeno Electric, we are at the forefront of this green transition, developing next-generation gas-insulated switchgear that utilizes eco-compatible gases (such as fluoronitrile-based mixtures and dry air) without sacrificing dielectric strength.
Additionally, modern smart grids require deep integration of sensors and remote diagnostic capabilities. Our smart GIS panels come equipped with integrated thermal sensors, optical CTs/VTs, and online partial discharge monitoring units. These systems feed real-time performance indicators to local control rooms, allowing predictive maintenance and preventing unexpected grid outages.
