Reliable Ring Main Unit (RMU) Solutions for Medium Voltage Networks

A Ring Main Unit (RMU) cabinet, also known as a medium voltage cabinet, is an integrated piece of electrical equipment designed to connect, measure, protect, and control medium voltage power distribution. It brings together fixed-type breakers and transformer protection in a compact, factory-assembled enclosure, improving the reliability and safety of your network.

RMU cabinets are engineered to enhance the performance of power distribution networks while offering advanced protection for transformers and other critical electrical assets. With modular construction and configurable busbar sections, RMUs are simple to install, maintain, replace, and expand as your system grows. They are available in both indoor and outdoor configurations, making them ideal for industrial, commercial, and utility applications.

  • Compact, fully enclosed MV cabinet with modular design
  • Voltage range typically between 7.2 kV – 36 kV
  • Integrated transformer and feeder protection with advanced switching
  • Indoor and outdoor variants with easy maintenance and future expansion

Ring Main Unit Configurations
You Can Rely On

ACB (Air Circuit Breaker) RMU

ACB-based Ring Main Units use Air Circuit Breakers for protection and control of medium voltage feeders and transformers. They provide reliable protection against overcurrent, short circuits, and earth faults, and are well suited for industrial and commercial installations with higher current ratings.

VCB (Vacuum Circuit Breaker) RMU

VCB-based RMUs extinguish the arc inside a sealed vacuum interrupter, delivering fast fault clearance, high reliability, and minimal maintenance. They are commonly deployed in urban and underground distribution networks where space is limited and uptime is critical.

SF6 Circuit Breaker RMU

SF6 RMUs use sulfur hexafluoride gas as the interrupting medium, offering high dielectric strength, compact footprint, and excellent arc-quenching capabilities. Ideal for medium-voltage networks, especially where high fault levels need to be handled in confined spaces.

Ring Main Units (RMU) – Medium Voltage Distribution Solutions

Engineered RMUs for Safe and Efficient Power Distribution

iEngineering supplies fully assembled Ring Main Units (RMUs) for medium voltage power systems in the 7.2 kV – 36 kV range. These cabinets are designed as compact, integrated substations that connect, protect, and measure your distribution network, with both indoor and outdoor variants available.

RMUs are ideal for compact secondary substations, transformer protection, and networks that require multiple input feeders to minimise outages and improve continuity of supply.

RMU Cabinet Construction

RMU cabinets are fully enclosed, factory-assembled metal-enclosed switchgear. They integrate switching, protection, and measurement in a compact footprint while providing clear segregation of live parts and safe operator access.

  • Metal-enclosed, compact footprint for space-constrained sites
  • Modular sections for incoming, outgoing, and transformer feeders
  • Engineered for easy installation, replacement, and expansion

Voltage Range & Applications

Our RMUs are suitable for medium voltage networks within a typical voltage range of 7.2 kV – 36 kV, serving a broad spectrum of applications:

  • Industrial plants and manufacturing facilities
  • Commercial complexes and infrastructure projects
  • Utility distribution networks and compact secondary substations

Protection & Switching Functions

RMUs incorporate different interrupter technologies (ACB, VCB, SF6, LBS) to protect transformers and feeders while allowing safe switching and isolation.

  • Overcurrent, short-circuit, and earth fault protection
  • Feeder isolation and sectionalising of distribution networks
  • Reduced outage times with ring-fed configurations

Integrated RMU Components

Each RMU can be equipped with a combination of components depending on your project needs:

  • Load break switches and circuit breakers
  • Fault passage indicators and power supply units
  • Current transformers (CTs) and potential transformers (PTs)
  • HRC fuses and solid-insulated busbars

Indoor & Outdoor RMU Installations

RMUs are available in both indoor and outdoor enclosure designs, allowing a consistent solution from substations to field distribution points.

  • Indoor RMUs for control rooms and plant rooms
  • Outdoor RMUs with weatherproof enclosures for harsh environments
  • Suitable for utility, industrial, and commercial sites

Reliability & Maintenance

RMUs are designed as low-maintenance, long-life assets that improve network reliability and reduce operating costs.

  • Maintenance-free or low-maintenance designs depending on technology
  • Fast fault isolation to minimise outages
  • Simple access for inspection, testing, and future upgrades

Cables, Termination Kits & Project Support

In addition to RMU supply, we offer associated medium voltage cables, termination kits, and project engineering support to deliver a complete solution for your site.

  • Supply of MV/HV cables and termination accessories
  • Support for compact secondary substations and transformer bays
  • Experience in supplying export-ready RMUs to the Pacific region

RMU Supply Process
RMU supply and commissioning process

Ring Main Unit (RMU) Supply Process

At iEngineering, we provide reliable medium voltage RMU solutions through a complete end-to-end process. We start by understanding your network configuration and site requirements, then prepare detailed designs, SLDs, and technical specifications to meet utility and project standards. Each RMU is manufactured and tested before dispatch, with on-site support for installation, SAT, and commissioning to ensure safe operation and seamless integration with your electrical system.

View Projects
  1. Consultation

    Consultation

    We review your project, SLD, and site needs to propose the most suitable and cost-effective RMU configuration for your network.

  2. Planning and Inspection

    Design, Drawing & Manufacturing

    Detailed design, GA drawings, and technical documentation are prepared. RMUs are then manufactured using certified components to meet the relevant MV standards and utility requirements.
