Description

Manufacturer: Rockwill

Product Overview

Rockwill Dry Air RMU is an SF6-free, environmentally friendly medium-voltage ring main unit that uses dry air as the insulating medium. It integrates 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 compact, sealed assembly.

It is designed for 12 kV, 24 kV, 36 kV, and 40.5 kV distribution networks, supporting remote monitoring, fault detection, isolation, and service restoration for smart grid and distribution automation applications.

Certifcations dry air RMU

Frequently asked questions

It is an SF6-free medium-voltage ring main unit that uses dry air for insulation and integrates switching, protection, metering, and automation functions in one compact unit.

Dry air avoids SF6 greenhouse gas emissions, simplifies end-of-life recycling, and reduces environmental compliance and gas monitoring requirements.

Typical ratings include 12 kV, 24 kV, 36 kV, and 40.5 kV, with 630 A or 1250 A busbar and feeder ratings, and short-time withstand currents of 20 kA, 25 kA, or 31.5 kA.

Yes. Rockwill Dry Air RMU 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.

Maintenance typically includes periodic visual inspection, mechanism and contact checks, battery/UPS testing, communication testing, and firmware updates. The sealed dry air tank requires minimal maintenance compared with SF6 designs.
