Series RMR,RGIS,REC
Description

Manufacturer: Rockwill

Product Overview

Rockwill Air Insulated RMU is an SF6-free, air-insulated medium-voltage ring main unit designed for 12 kV to 40.5 kV distribution networks. It uses ambient air as the insulating medium and vacuum interrupters for switching, integrating load break switches, vacuum circuit breakers, earthing switches, current/voltage transformers, digital protection relays, motorized operating mechanisms, fault indicators, and RTU/FTU/DTU units in a modular metal-enclosed assembly.

It supports remote monitoring, fault detection, isolation, and service restoration, making it suitable for smart grid and distribution automation applications. Rockwill also provides OEM/ODM/private label and contract manufacturing  services, with customized branding and production according to customer requirements.

Certifcations Air Insulated RMU

Frequently asked questions

It is an SF6-free medium-voltage ring main unit that uses air as the insulating medium and vacuum interrupters for switching. It combines switching, protection, metering, and automation functions in one modular unit.

An air insulated RMU typically uses ambient air at atmospheric pressure as insulation, while a dry air RMU uses a sealed tank filled with dry air, often with a more compact design. Both are SF6-free alternatives.

Rockwill offers 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, and 5-way modular configurations, with load break switches, vacuum circuit breakers, earthing switches, and extensible busbar options.

Yes. It can be equipped with motorized mechanisms, fault indicators, RTU/FTU/DTU, and communication protocols such as IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, and IEC 60870-5-101/104 for SCADA and FLISR applications.

Yes. Rockwill supports OEM, ODM, private label , and contract manufacturing . We can produce according to customer drawings, technical specifications, or samples, and customize logo, nameplate, color, packaging, protection functions, communication modules, and enclosure.

Maintenance typically includes periodic visual inspection, mechanism and contact checks, battery/UPS testing, communication testing, and firmware updates. The air-insulated design allows easier inspection compared with sealed SF6 designs.
