Description
This series of indoor eco‑friendly gas‑insulated ring main units (RMUs) is designed for 12kV three‑phase AC power systems, serving as a new‑generation zero‑carbon core distribution unit to fully replace traditional SF6 switchgears. Complying with international and domestic high‑voltage switchgear standards,
it uses clean dry air at 0.02 MPa slight positive pressure as insulation medium and pure vacuum technology for arc extinction. It supports flexible combination of compartment‑type and common‑tank configurations.
With fully enclosed metal enclosure protection and visible three‑position design, it realizes distribution network automation while eliminating full‑lifecycle maintenance burdens.

Core Performance Advantages

  • 100% Clean & Non‑toxic, Zero‑cost Recycling after Decommissioning:Insulated by clean dry air without SF6 or toxic fluorinated gases. All components are clearly labeled for easy dismantling and direct recycling. Proven by field experience, it avoids safety hazards from toxic decomposition under extreme faults and saves high‑cost professional gas disposal fees for clients.

  • Ultra‑compact Design for In‑situ Renovation of Old Substations:Optimized electric‑field design and miniaturized vacuum interrupters make it one of the most compact RMUs. Its narrow‑body design enables equal‑size in‑situ replacement in old substation renovation, requiring no wall breaking, expansion or concrete pouring. It significantly shortens project ROI by cutting civil‑construction duration and costs.
  • Fully‑sealed System for Lifelong Maintenance‑free Operation:All primary electrical and mechanical components are sealed in a fully enclosed metal housing against dust, moisture and salt fog. Optimized mechanisms with minimal parts and no lubricants perform reliably after long‑term static standby. Field feedback confirms it avoids switching failure caused by aged lubricants and reduces routine maintenance costs greatly.

  • Exclusive Visible Three‑position Design to Prevent Misjudgment:Equipped with dedicated viewing windows for operator safety. Maintenance staff can directly check the actual physical status (closed, isolated, earthed) of disconnectors visually, without indirect signals. Together with power indicators and arc‑shielded enclosures, it ensures on‑site operation safety fundamentally.

  • Low‑energy Self‑powered & Lego‑style Modular Expansion:Optimized load‑break switch cabinets (for ring‑network sectioning/incoming lines) and circuit breaker cabinets (for cable/transformer protection). Matched with low‑energy tripping mechanisms and self‑powered protective relays to replace traditional fuse combinations. Standard modular components allow easy expansion like Lego blocks, avoiding outdated communication standards.

Applications & Performance

  • Practical Applications: Widely used in urban commercial centers, high‑density residential distribution stations, industrial power rooms, rail transit and new‑energy collection lines. Its fully‑sealed structure ensures long‑term trouble‑free operation in harsh environments such as dusty factories and humid basements.
  • Core Technical Optimization: Relative insulation design for major high‑voltage parts minimizes internal fault escalation and phase‑to‑phase short‑circuit risks. Standard modular design reserves space for future upgrades of remote control, monitoring and communication systems, complying with smart‑grid trends over its 30‑year service life.

Application Scenarios

  • Compact land‑saving renovation of new urban substations and existing power facilities
  • Industrial and mining distribution networks with heavy dust, high humidity or insufficient maintenance manpower
  • Green enterprises pursuing sustainable development, ESG strategies and low‑carbon lifecycle
  • Distribution rooms in residential and commercial complexes with strict requirements for operation safety and indoor space
  • Core switch units for distribution automation (smart grid) upgrading

Frequently asked questions

 Absolutely not. This is a key practical improvement over traditional switchgears. Conventional switchgears rely on grease that oxidizes, dries or collects dust after long‑term standby or temperature changes, causing switching failure. Our mechanical mechanisms are specially tested for extreme long‑standby sudden operation. By simplifying components and adopting self‑lubricating oil‑free materials, the switch operates precisely even after years of inactivity. This field‑verified technology enables zero routine maintenance and lifelong trouble‑free operation.

This 12kV pure dry air insulated RMU completely eliminates SF6 greenhouse gas. It uses clean dry air for insulation and vacuum for arc extinction, achieving full zero-carbon operation. Compared with traditional SF6 products, it features non-toxic decomposition, zero gas recycling cost, lower maintenance cost and full environmental compliance for ESG and green grid projects.

The exclusive visible three-position observation window allows staff to directly check the physical state of closing, isolating and grounding, instead of relying on secondary electric signals. It eliminates signal misjudgment risk and fundamentally guarantees on-site operation safety.
