Why do we need ring main unit (RMU). what is its purpose and its advantages . what is the operating function of rmu
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Usually a RMU is used to allow a feed of supply from 2
directions and tapping of to a transformer, etc.
Each of these supplies may have a number of RMU's in series
forming a ring. If a section of the feeder needs to be
isolated due to work or failure an RMU on each end of this
section can be opened without stopping any supply.

Answer / sanjeev kumat
need of RMU is to provide the uninteruptted power supply .
purpose of rmu is to make a ring of power supply network so that supply can be feed from 2nd source on failure of 1st source of power supply .
operating function of RMU (RING MAIN UNIT ) switchgear are closing , opening and to do earth to the ckt. .the funtion of rmu are very easily to operate . it consist mechanically interlocking and sealed tank containing sf6 gas . and provide very good factor of safety .
