Gas-insulated Ring Main Units (RMUs) enable safe, compact power distribution in medium-voltage grids (10-35kV). They ensure continuous supply via ring-network switching, fault isolation, and load management. Sealed SF6 insulation resists harsh environments, offering maintenance-free operation, space efficiency, and smart grid integration.
Expertly delivering tailored switchgear solutions with speed and reliability, we lead in electrical engineering through quality, innovation, and exceptional support. Here are customized case maps from past clients.
What is a ring main unit - sf6 gas insulated switchgear?
A Ring Main Unit (RMU) is a type of electrical switchgear used in medium-voltage distribution systems to control, protect, and isolate electrical circuits. It is designed to provide a continuous and secure power supply by automatically detecting faults and isolating them to maintain the flow of electricity.
RMUs play a crucial role in ensuring that the power supply is uninterrupted, even during maintenance or when faults occur. By isolating the affected sections of the network, the RMU prevents the entire system from shutting down, ensuring minimal downtime and avoiding widespread disruptions.
The RMU is typically installed in a loop configuration, known as a "ring," which allows for redundancy in power distribution. This ring design provides flexibility by allowing power to flow through multiple paths, reducing the risk of an entire grid failing due to a localized issue.
