XGN6
The 6kV air-insulated ring main unit (RMU) serves as the core distribution equipment in medium-voltage power distribution networks. It is suitable for mainstream 6kV voltage scenarios, such as urban distribution networks and industrial parks. Utilizing air as the insulating medium, it integrates core components like load switches, circuit breakers, and fuses, offering multiple functions including ring main power supply, sectional control, and fault clearance. The equipment balances stability and scalability, allowing for flexible configuration of electrical components according to specific scenarios. It not only meets the continuous power supply needs in densely populated areas but also adapts to the sectional operation and maintenance of complex distribution networks. As a result, it has become one of the mainstream choices for the construction and renovation of medium-voltage distribution networks.
With optimized arc-extinguishing and insulation structures, it can withstand frequent operations and load fluctuations under a voltage level of 6kV, achieving an average mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 100,000 hours, significantly reducing the risk of power outages.
Modular cabinet design supports the free combination of components such as load switches, circuit breakers, and metering units. It can be upgraded and configured according to users’ different needs, ranging from simple power distribution to intelligent measurement and control, adapting to the entire lifecycle of use.
A remote measurement and control interface is reserved, which can be integrated into the distribution network automation system to achieve intelligent functions such as switch status monitoring, fault location, and remote operation, thereby facilitating the digital transformation of the distribution network.
Compared to SF6 ring main units, there is no need to bear the cost of gas procurement and recycling. Additionally, with mature manufacturing and installation processes, the overall comprehensive cost is reduced by 25% to 30%. At the same time, it meets the high insulation requirements of medium-voltage distribution networks.

Both types are compatible with urban distribution networks. The air insulation type offers greater environmental benefits, with no risk of gas leakage and simpler operation and maintenance, making it suitable for densely populated areas. The SF6 type has superior insulation performance but higher cost. The air insulation type is currently the preferred choice for environmental protection retrofits of urban distribution networks.
After configuring the intelligent measurement and control module and the sectional circuit breaker, they can be connected to the distribution network automation system. When a line fault is detected, the system can automatically disconnect the faulty section and restore power supply to the non-faulty sections, thereby enhancing the reliability of power supply in the distribution network.
