Ring Main Unit(RMU)
Modernise your grid with the smart RMU
A ring main unit (RMU) is a factory assembled, metal enclosed set of switchgear used at the load connection points of a ring-type distribution network. It includes in one unit two switches that connect both sides of the load to the main conductors and a fusible switch or circuit breaker that tee-off to feed a distribution transformer medium voltage to low voltage (MV to LV).The smart ring main unit (RMU) is an innovative solution that makes it easier for you to answer the evolving challenges of electrical distribution. As an all-in-one solution, the smart RMU is easy to purchase, install and maintain, helping to reduce operational costs. Its robust design fits even the harshest environments.
FBX
Gas-Insulated Ring Main Unit up to 24 kV.Fully SF6-insulated RMU switchboard for secondary distribution networks, available in compact or extensible installation footprints to best suit to your application
Features :
Gas-Insulated Switchgear
The FBX is a fully SF6-insulated switchboard for secondary distribution networks.
In its compact version (FBX-C), it acts as a Ring Main Unit, includes up to five different functions into a single tank and can be easily integrated into a substation or wind tower mast.
In its extensible version (FBX-E), it becomes a fully modular switchboard suitable for industrial applications.
Both innovative and safe, it is insensible to environment, virtually maintenance free and very easy to install and operate.
