A typical ring mainframe consists of the following key components that perform switching functions:
As switchgear, the Ring Main Unit (RMU) performs the following key functions in a power distribution network:
The RMU is used to switch circuits from one line to another in a circulating network.
It is crucial for isolating a faulted section from the rest of the circuit to maintain network stability.
Integrated circuit breakers, fuses, and earthing switches provide protection against overload, short-circuit, or ground-fault currents.
Ring main units (RMUs) are used in medium-voltage secondary distribution networks for isolation, protection, and control purposes. Common applications include:
