General
Tri-MEC RMU is an extensible and non-extensible ring main unit for the secondary distribution
network. Tri-MEC RMU can be supplied in various different configurations suitable for most
switching applications in 24 kV distribution networks.
When combined with the Tri-MEC RMU, they represent a complete solution for 24kV
secondary distribution networks. Tri-MEC RMU is a completely sealed system with a stainless
steel tank, gas tight metal enclosure, containing all the live parts, Switching-disconnector, earth
switch, Fuse switch, the circuit breaker.
A sealed steel tank filled with SF6 gas ensures a high level of reliability as well as safety and a
maintenance-free system. The Tri-MEC RMU offers the user a choice of either a switch-
disconnector combined with fuse or circuit breaker with relay for protection of the transformer.
Tri-MEC RMU can be controlled completely with an feeder remote unit. Most of this switchgear
exists in version that are extensible on the right or on both sides, in order to provide for future
development.

Features
1. The LS HRC Power Fuses belong to the PRIME MEC
series.
It interrupts high currents before the peak value and
therefore cuts down the required withstand capacity of
the associated equipment on the electric system.
2. Though small in size, it has a high breaking capacity and
its enclosed type is suitable for use inside of the panel
board.
3. PRIME-MEC fuses are equipped with striker pins for
trip indicators as well as for inflicting impulse to trip
link of related load break switches.

Vacuum Interrupter
In the closed position, normal current flows
through the interrupter. When a fault occurs
and interruption is required, the contacts are
quickly separated.
