| Model NO. | Solid insulated switchgear/Ring Main Unit |
| Rated voltage | 12kV |
| Rated frequency | 50/60Hz |
| Series | FYG |
Description
FYG-12 solid insulated switchgear is suitable for middle voltage power distribution system and rated current is 630A/1250A. It is more reliable than the SF6 ring main unit, and is more suitable for a wider range of applications in both of GB standard and IEC standard.
Features
Safety
All live parts are sealed or embedded in the epoxy resin and silicon rubber, fully insulated and wholly enclosed structure, safety protection level: IP67.
Enhanced phase separation design, independent phase insulation to avoid the fault between phases.
Switch working position of each phase could be observed independently, which improves operation safety.
Multi-environmental application
Applicable to low temperature areas, high altitude areas, high humidity areas, high corrosion areas, low-lying areas and explosion forbidden places.
Flexibility
Standard modular design to facilitate circuit extension, modification and replacement.
Feasible to any replacement in both circumstances of any unit in fault and according user needs.
Smaller dimension makes it more convenient to be moved, transported or replaced.
Environment-friendly
Epoxy resin is employed instead of SF6.

Design Solution of 24kV Dry Air Insulated Ring Main UnitThe combination of Solid Insulation Assist + Dry Air Insulation represents the development direction for 24kV RMUs. By balancing insulation requirements with compactness and employing solid auxiliary insulation, insulation tests can be passed without significantly increasing phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground dimensions. Encapsulating the pole column solidifies the insulation for the vacuum interrupter and its connecting conductors.Maintaining the 24kV outgoing busbar phase spacing at 110mm,Rockwill16/08-2025 -
Optimization Design Scheme for the 12kV Air-Insulated Ring Main Unit Isolating Gap to Reduce Breakdown Discharge ProbabilityWith the rapid development of the power industry, the ecological concept of low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmental protection has been deeply integrated into the design and manufacturing of power supply and distribution electrical products. The Ring Main Unit (RMU) is a key electrical device in distribution networks. Safety, environmental protection, operational reliability, energy efficiency, and economy are inevitable trends in its development. Traditional RMUs are primarily representedRockwill16/08-2025 -
Analysis of Common Problems in 10kV Gas-Insulated Ring Main Units (RMUs)Introduction:10kV gas-insulated RMUs are widely used due to their numerous advantages, such as being fully enclosed, possessing high insulation performance, requiring no maintenance, having a compact size, and offering flexible and convenient installation. At this stage, they have gradually become a critical node in urban distribution network ring-main power supply and play a significant role in the power distribution system.

Implementation Scheme for Installing Lightning Arresters or Voltage Transformers in Gas-Insulated Ring Main UnitsAccording to insulation type, ring main units (RMUs) can be categorized as gas-insulated or air-insulated. The former installs primary circuit components in a sealed metal enclosure filled with low-pressure gas (primarily SF₆ or mixed gases) as the insulating medium, using cable terminals for incoming and outgoing lines. Due to superior insulation, compact size, and modular design, they are widely used in 10kV outdoor distribution substations and prefabricated transformer stations. However, theiRockwill16/08-2025 -
