Product type
A Ring Main Unit (RMU) is a type of electrical switchgear used in medium voltage distribution networks. It is designed to provide reliable and efficient power distribution, typically in urban areas or industrial applications. RMUs are constructed from metal-enclosed components, which house circuit breakers, switches, and other protective devices, ensuring safety and durability in operation.
| Voltage rating | Up to 36 kV |
| Number of feeders | Typically 2 to 6 |
| Insulation type | Air-insulated or gas-insulated |
| Protection class | IP 54 to IP 67 |
| Operating temperature range | -25°C to +40°C |
When selecting a Ring Main Unit, consider the voltage rating and the number of feeders required for your application. It's important to specify the insulation type based on environmental conditions and safety requirements. Additionally, inquire about protection classes and ensure that the unit complies with relevant standards and certifications. Quantities should be determined based on your project needs and future expansion plans.
