XGN2-12 ring main unit guide (RMU) is a high-performance, metal-enclosed indoor switchgear designed for 12kV power systems. With a compact structure, superior insulation, and reliable interlocking mechanisms, this unit is widely used in substations, power plants, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities for safe and efficient power distribution.
Product Structure & Functional Design
The XGN2-12 switchgear is composed of several functional compartments:
- Circuit breaker room (front lower section): Easy for operation and maintenance.
- Relay room (front upper section): Houses control instruments, switches, and signals.
- Busbar room (rear upper section): Well isolated for safety.
- Cable room (rear lower section): Designed for convenient wiring.
The cabinet is made from galvanized or stainless-steel panels using C and G profiles, with an IP-rated protection level of IPzX. Observation windows and facade indicators enable real-time status monitoring.
