Ring Main Unit (RMU)

RMU stands for Ring Main Unit, which is a type of compact metal-enclosed switchgear used in electrical power distribution systems.

The primary function of an RMU is to provide a means of distributing and controlling electrical power in a safe and efficient manner. RMUs are typically used in urban and suburban areas, where space is limited and there is a need to ensure a reliable and continuous supply of power to customers.

An RMU consists of a combination of circuit breakers, switches, and other electrical components, all housed in a single, compact unit. The circuit breakers and switches are designed to protect the electrical distribution network from overloads and short circuits, and to isolate any faults that may occur. The unit is usually installed on a concrete or steel platform, and may be either pole-mounted or ground-mounted.

RMUs are often used in combination with other types of switchgear, such as transformers and distribution panels, to form a complete power distribution system. They are widely used by power utilities, industrial and commercial customers, and in public infrastructure such as airports, hospitals, and universities.
