What is a smart ring main unit (RMU)?

Seamlessly integrated with the Easergy T300 remote terminal unit (RTU) and our innovative conditional monitoring sensors, the smart ring main unit (RMU) is an innovative solution that makes it easier for you to answer the evolving challenges of electrical distribution.

What are the main functions of a ring main unit (RMU)?

The main functions of a Ring Main Unit (RMU) are circuit control, isolation from faulty equipment, and controlling circuits to switch functions. The main ring unit is deployed in a secondary distribution system. It is mostly utilized to provide an uninterrupted power supply.

What is a ring main unit?

Ring Main Unit is a fully enclosed, compact, factory assembled cabinet used for medium-voltage power distribution. In simple words, this is a switchgear unit that is easily replaceable, requires low maintenance, and is highly protected in nature.

What is a tower ring main unit?

Our tower ring main unit is a compact, prefabricated MV switchgear unit suitable for installation within wind towers. Some of its key advantages include: At just 500mm wide and 1.6m tall, our 40.5kV tower RMU takes up minimal interior space within wind turbine towers. It is the smallest in the wind power industry.

What are the benefits of a tower ring main unit?

A tower ring main unit minimizes land and infrastructure usage compared to conventional ground-mounted switchgear. It also significantly reduces cable trenching, lowering material expenses. Shorter cable runs mean smaller cable lengths and lower costs. 2. Reduce Electricity Loses

What is an RMU & how does it work?

A notable application is in wind farms. An RMU distributes power from a wind turbine to outgoing power lines. A typical RMU is installed in the prefabricated substation next to the wind turbine tower. It is on ground level. This placement works well for smaller capacity turbines that have relatively lower power outputs.
