This paper presents a comparison of technologies in Medium Voltage Panels that exist in the electricity market. The manufacturing industry that has had facilities for more than 3 decades requires modernizing its electrical systems and energy distribution with efficient medium voltage panels. Today, there are gas-insulated technologies that allow agile protection and selectivity in the coordination of protections. The use of gas insulation is widely used for industrial installations that require optimizing electrical safety and human safety. Based on the above, the comparison of two insulation media is presented, considering the durability of materials, cost, size and long-term maintenance. The purpose is to contribute to the design of safe facilities, considering that the manufacture of this equipment is already a reality in the electricity market. It also tries to contribute to the technical knowledge of engineers who make decisions in projects of this nature, such as the engineers in charge of the Auxiliary Services of electrical maintenance and the Supervision of internal Operation of the Industry in selecting one of the two technologies for a better use in the long term or during its electrical operation and that can be visible in the electrical model for electrical studies that can allow an agile decision-making of the technical personnel in a possible integration of primary electrical equipment.
