RVAC
Ring Main Unit
Based on the design concept of full insulation and fully sealed, all
primary parts within RVAC RMU are fully sealed inside the
stainless-steel main enclosure, protect to against condensation and
external contaminated environment; the protection degree of the
main tank body is up to IP67, equipped with Cooper’s water-
proofing touchable cable bond, which can provide effective
protection against accidental flood in rainy climate.

Main Construction
• All primary high-voltage components are completely enclosed in SF6 gas tank, free
from environment impact, thus ensuring fully insulation and maintenance-free;
• SF6 gas tank is made of high-quality stainless steel materials, free from
influence of salt spray, humidity, dirt and temperature, ensuring a durable nice
outlook;
• With IP67 protection degree, can reliably prevent from flood immersion in summer;
• Advance gas shielded welding as well as a sealing pressure system of less
than 1‰ leakage rate ensure a 30 year service cycle;
• Non-extensible is standard busbar extensible is optional.
• The load break switch applies metal deionizing arc suppress technology, ensuring
good interruption performance for the switch;
• The working speed of switch’s moving contact depends on its operation mecha
nism; and the open-close speed of the switch will not be influenced by operators;
• When moving from closing to opening, the load break switch depends on moving
contact speed and arc suppress devices simultaneously, to suppress arc and break
current;
• The spring operation mechanism with an operating handle to complete closing
and opening operations. Motorization module and opening coil can be added, to
achieve remote control.
