XGN15-12 AC Metal Enclosed Ring Main Unit
The XGN15-12 Ring Main Unit (RMU) is a 12kV air-insulated, fixed-type AC metal-enclosed switchgear designed for reliable medium-voltage power distribution systems. Engineered for 3-phase AC 50Hz networks, it provides safe switching, protection, and power distribution for utility substations, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and renewable energy projects.
Manufactured by Changyun Intelligent, the XGN15-12 combines a compact modular design, proven air-insulation technology, and comprehensive mechanical interlocking to deliver reliable performance, low maintenance, and long service life. It is suitable for both ring network and radial distribution systems, ensuring continuous and efficient power supply in demanding operating environments.
The standard configuration consists of an Incoming Cabinet and an Outgoing Cabinet, providing flexible feeder arrangements while supporting future system expansion.
- Rated voltage up to 12kV
- Reliable air-insulated technology with no SF₆ gas
- Compact metal-enclosed structure for space-saving installation
- Suitable for ring network and radial distribution systems
- Complete mechanical interlocking for enhanced operational safety
- Modular design for easy installation and maintenance
- Stable switching performance with long mechanical life

A complete mechanical interlocking system prevents incorrect operating sequences, reducing the risk of electrical accidents while protecting both operators and equipment.
Unlike SF₆-insulated switchgear, the XGN15-12 adopts mature air-insulation technology, eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and simplifying maintenance.
The fully grounded metal enclosure provides excellent mechanical strength and protects internal components from dust and accidental contact, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Multiple functional units—including load switch, circuit breaker, metering, bus coupler, and cable connection modules—can be configured to meet different project requirements.
With a simple structure and standardized components, routine inspection and maintenance are straightforward, reducing downtime and lowering the total cost of ownership.
