Core Advantages of CHBEST High Voltage Ring Main Units
CHBEST Power's high voltage ring main units are specifically engineered to adapt to the EU's rigorous technical requirements and complex operating environments. Available in 12kV, 24kV, and 36kV voltage levels, the products integrate advanced insulation technology, precise mechanical structure, and intelligent monitoring functions, delivering superior performance, safety, and durability.
1. CE Certification Compliance: Unlocking the EU Market
CE certification is the mandatory access threshold for electrical equipment entering the EU market, signifying compliance with strict safety, health, and environmental protection standards. CHBEST high voltage ring main units have successfully obtained CE certification, fully complying with the High Voltage Directive (HVDD 2014/35/EU), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive (2014/30/EU), and relevant IEC standards such as IEC 62271-202. The certification process was conducted by TÜV Rheinland, a globally recognized third-party testing and certification body, covering rigorous tests on electrical performance, insulation strength, mechanical durability, and environmental adaptability.
To ensure compliance, CHBEST Power has established a complete technical documentation system, including product design drawings, component certification, test reports, and EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC). Every batch of exported RMUs undergoes pre-shipment inspection to maintain consistent quality and compliance, eliminating potential market access risks for EU clients. This strict adherence to CE requirements demonstrates CHBEST Power's commitment to meeting international standards and building trust with global partners.
2. Advanced Insulation Technology for Safety and Environmental Protection
European markets place high emphasis on environmental protection and operational safety, driving demand for high-voltage equipment with low environmental impact and reliable insulation performance. CHBEST high voltage RMUs offer two insulation solutions to meet diverse EU needs: SF6 gas insulation and solid insulation.
The SF6-insulated RMUs adopt high-purity SF6 gas as the insulation and arc-extinguishing medium, featuring excellent insulation performance and arc-extinguishing capacity. The gas chamber is hermetically sealed with a leakage rate of less than 0.1% per year, ensuring long-term stable operation and minimal environmental impact. For clients pursuing greener solutions, CHBEST's solid-insulated RMUs use epoxy resin for integral insulation, eliminating SF6 gas entirely and complying with the EU's carbon neutrality goals. Both solutions achieve an enclosure protection rating of IP54, effectively preventing the intrusion of dust, water, and corrosive gases—critical for adapting to Europe's diverse climatic conditions, from humid coastal areas to cold inland regions.
3. Superior Electrical Performance and Grid Adaptability
CHBEST high voltage ring main units are designed to meet the rigorous operational requirements of EU power grids, with outstanding electrical performance and grid compatibility. The products feature a rated current of up to 630A for the main circuit and a rated short-time withstand current of 25kA/3s, enabling them to withstand sudden short-circuit impacts and maintain structural integrity. The integrated SF6 load switch offers fast switching speed and long mechanical life (over 10,000 operations), ensuring reliable load control and fault isolation.
To adapt to the EU's smart grid development trend, CHBEST RMUs are equipped with intelligent monitoring modules that collect real-time data on voltage, current, temperature, and gas pressure (for SF6 models). The data is transmitted to the central control system via RS485 or Ethernet communication protocols, supporting remote monitoring, fault early warning, and predictive maintenance. This intelligent integration aligns with the digital transformation needs of European power grids, improving operation efficiency and reducing maintenance costs for clients.
4. Compact Design and Easy Installation for European Scenarios
EU urban power grids and industrial parks often have limited space for electrical equipment, requiring compact and easy-to-install solutions. CHBEST high voltage RMUs adopt a modular design with a compact footprint—up to 30% smaller than traditional products—making them suitable for indoor and outdoor installations in narrow spaces. The modular structure allows for flexible configuration of switch units, fuse units, and measurement units, enabling customization according to specific project needs.
The RMUs are pre-assembled and tested at the factory, minimizing on-site installation time and labor costs. The cabinet body is made of high-strength cold-rolled steel with anti-corrosion electrostatic spraying treatment, resisting harsh weather conditions and ensuring a service life of over 20 years. These design features make CHBEST RMUs highly adaptable to European urban, industrial, and renewable energy project scenarios.
