Description:

XGN15-12 Ring Main Unit Features

1. Full Five-Anti Anti-Misoperation Interlock System

Standard integrated multi-layer interlock mechanism complies with global power safety norms, preventing 5 major operational mistakes:
  • Forbid breaker closing while earthing switch is switched on
  • Block earthing switch closure under live busbar condition
  • Restrict cabinet door opening with energized inner compartment
  • Prohibit racking breaker trolley under loaded state
  • Avoid mistaken close/open operation of circuit breakers

    Combined with our VPIS series voltage indicator, it builds full electrical safety interlock circuit for on-site operators.

2. Modular Flexible Cabinet Layout

Supports free combination of incoming bay, outgoing feeder bay, metering unit and PT cabinet. Compatible with mainstream SF6 load break switches and vacuum breakers, meeting customized substation layout demands for industrial, commercial and new energy projects.

3. Low-Cost Easy Maintenance Air Insulated Structure

Different from fully sealed gas-insulated RMU like XGN15-12 SF6 gas insulated ring main unit, this air-insulated model features open-access internal components, greatly cutting routine maintenance labor and spare part expenses, ideal for projects with sufficient installation space.

4. Durable Anti-Corrosion Cabinet Housing

Whole cabinet adopts thick cold-rolled steel with electrostatic anti-rust spraying treatment, IP4X cabinet protection class and IP2X internal compartment protection. Stable operation under -25℃ ~ +40℃ ambient temperature, service life over 30 years for indoor power rooms, mining plants and coastal workshops with high humidity.

5. Global IEC & GB Standard Compliance

Pass full type test following IEC 62271-200 and GB/T 11022 standards. Complete CE, ISO9001 certification documents supplied for export to EU, Southeast Asia, Russia and Middle East power tender projects.
