SF6-insulated ring main unit and SF6-insulated compact switchgear are used in medium voltage distribution networks. They offer a sealed stainless steel tank which contains all the live components and switching functions. The transformer is protected either by a switch fuse combination or a vacuum circuit breaker.
SF6-insulated ring main unit can be supplied as a 2, 3 or 4-way unit in standard configurations with additional equipment according to customer specification.
SF6-insulated compact switchgear has a unique flexibility due to its extendibility and the possible combination of fully modular and semi-modular configurations, with a maximum of 5 modules in one SF6-tank.
The units are delivered from the factory ready for installation. Routine tests are carried out on all units/ modules before dispatch. No special tools are required for installing the equipment.
Main new advantages of RMR
The SF6 gas tank feature:
RMR use SF6 – gas (Sulphur hexafluoride) as insulation and quenching medium
The SF6 is contained in a welded stainless steel tank, which is sealed for life.The pressure system is defined as a sealed for life system with an operating life time exceeding 30 years. The leakage rate is less than 0.1% per year. In order to ensure a reliable and tight welding, all welding work is carried out by computer controlled robots.
Electrical and mechanical bushings penetrating the tank are clamped and sealed to the tank by high quality O-rings.
The mechanical bushing has in addition a rotating shaft which connects the shaft of the switch to the corresponding shaft of the mechanism. The rotating shaft is sealed by a double set of gas seals.
All SF6-tanks have to pass a leakage test before gas fill-ing. Leakage test and gas filling are done inside a vacuum chamber. The first step in the leakage test is to evacuate all air inside both SF6-tank and vacuum chamber simultaneously. Then the SF6-tank is filled with Helium. Due to the characteristics of Helium this test will detect all possible leakages. If the SF6-tank passes this test, the Helium will be evacuated and replaced by SF6.The SF6-tank has a degree of protection of IP65 and can be immersed into water and still maintainable functions in a satisfactory way.
