Key attributes

Brand ROCKWILL
Model NO. Extendable Indoor Ring Main Unit for distribution network-12kV to 36kV
Rated voltage 36kV
Rated frequency 50/60Hz
Series RMR
Description

The Ring Main Unit (RMU) uses an SF6 load break switch as the main switch. The entire cabinet is suitable for power distribution automation and features a compact, expandable metal-enclosed design.

It offers a simple structure, flexible operation, reliable interlocking, and convenient installation. The VCB series with permanent magnet mechanism can also be assembled with RCB to meet diverse distribution requirements.

Core Advantages

  • Extendable Design: Supports flexible expansion of multiple RMU panels, meeting various distribution schemes (incoming, outgoing, bus-tie, sectionalizing) and adapting to future grid expansion.
  • Distribution Automation Ready: Can be equipped with FTU/DTU and communication devices for remote monitoring, fault detection, and isolation, supporting smart grid construction.
  • Fully Sealed SF6: The main switch uses an SF6 load break switch sealed in a stainless steel tank, unaffected by humidity, dust, and pollution, ensuring long-term maintenance-free operation.
  • Reliable Interlocking: Complete mechanical interlocking prevents operational errors and ensures operator safety.
  • Compact & Space-Saving: Compact structure with a small footprint, ideal for space-constrained indoor distribution rooms.
  • Flexible Configuration: Supports multiple module combinations including load break switch, switch-fuse combination, and vacuum circuit breaker.

  • 10kV SF₆ Ring Main Units (RMUs) Common Fault Prevention Measures
    10kV SF₆ Ring Main Units (RMUs) Common Fault Prevention MeasuresDuring the development of urban distribution network cabling, 10kV SF₆ Ring Main Units (RMUs) (European-style), serving as ring power supply nodes, have been widely adopted due to their features such as full insulation, complete enclosure, maintenance-free operation, compact size, and flexible, convenient installation. However, as the number of RMUs in use increases, the occurrence of faults within RMUs has also gradually risen.1 Co
  • SF₆ Ring Main Units (RMUs) and Urban Grid Renovation
    OverviewOlder distribution networks are primarily radial in structure, with most incoming and outgoing lines being overhead lines. The switching equipment typically consists of air-insulated vacuum circuit breakers or minimal-oil circuit breakers. These networks suffer from frequent faults, high operating costs, and prolonged, widespread power outages in the event of a failure, significantly hindering economic development.With rapid economic growth and the implementation of urban grid renovation
  • Current Status and Improvement Measures for SF₆ Ring Main Units
    1 Current Status of SF₆ Ring Main Units1.1 Structure of Ring Main UnitsRing main units (RMUs) consist of a gas chamber, operating mechanism compartment, cable compartment, and busbar connection compartment (present in some units).The gas chamber is positioned at the rear or in locations less prone to harm personnel during internal arcing. The operating mechanism, cable, and busbar connection compartments are at the front, facilitating switch operation, cable installation, and space-efficient wal

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We can dispatch experienced engineers for on-site installation guidance, commissioning, and operator training. Remote technical support is also available 24/7 via video or phone.

Our RMU complies with IEC 62271-200 and IEC 62271-100 standards. We provide complete type test reports, routine test reports, and certificates of conformity. Customized designs for specific regional standards (e.g., GOST, ANSI) are also available upon request.

Standard lead time is typically 30–45 days after drawing approval, depending on configuration and quantity. We offer a 10-year warranty from commissioning, covering defects in design, materials, and manufacturing. After the warranty expires, we continue to provide lifetime technical support and spare parts supply.

Standard design supports altitude up to 2000m and monthly average humidity up to 95%. For higher altitudes or extreme humidity, we offer customized designs with adjusted insulation levels and anti-condensation measures. Please advise your site conditions.
