Abstract

The main objective of the project is to install RMU (Ring Main Unit) in the electrical power distribution network is to provide a safe, reliable and efficient way to switch, protect and control the distribution system i.e., easy make and break of the network, fault finding in the network, Control and protection of the load network. The Ring main units are used to isolate the faulty portion of the feeder network, taking care of protection of the equipment and to maintain the continuity of power supply to customers. The RMU provides a high degree of safety and reliability, and it is easy to install, maintain and operate. Ring main units also reduce the need for manual intervention by linemen, as they can be programmed to automatically switch to a backup power supply in the event of a power outage. The ring main unit is small in size and can adapt to all kinds of buildings. It can be used for long-term stable power supply and infrequent high voltage switching operation. Ring main unit, because of its inherited properties is now widely used in residential buildings, public places, factory buildings and other buildings, especially in medium and small capacity compact stations. It can also be controlled from substation itself by employing Supervising control and data acquisition (SCADA) System by inbuilt Feeder remote terminal unit (FRTU) provision which used to analyze the system functioning with the help of multifunction transducers by Modbus communication channel and transfers the real time data to control center. The controller makes decision based on the data obtained from the FRTU.
