Technology
Metal enclosed unit for indoor installation and type tested.
Insulated by SF6 Gas
Independent of climate.
ON-OFF-EARTH, three position load break switch.
Safety
Approachable and operable safely in the presence of power in the cables.
Clear indication of operation status via mimic diagram on front panel.
Fully automatic interlocking system.
Voltage detector to check the presence of voltage in the cable.
Durability and usefulness
Metal enclosed tank is hermetically sealed, it means this is independent of
environmental effects such as dirt, small insects, and moisture and so on.
Load break switch operating is possible in the front of Ring Main Units.
All switching operations can be made safely to personnel because of interlocking
system that operates automatically according to the switch position by the operator.
Remote operation available in case of using motor mechanism.
Fuse LBS will be tripped by a fuse striker pin connected to the mechanism
in the event of fault happening.
Individual panels and panel blocks can be freely combined and extended.
Saving cost
Only a little maintenance is required except replacement of HRC Power fuse after installation.
Compact design that requires minimum space to install and operate locally is
main advantage especially where the space is limited.
Materials can be recycled after the end of its service life.

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.

Stress relief adapter
Molded rubber adapter is sized to the cable insulation and
provides stress relief for the terminated shield. The radial
pressure exerted on the cable shield by the stress surface.
Suitable for installation on both extruded-surface. Suitable
for installation on both extruded-shield cable and tape-type
shield cable.
Spade terminal
Semi-permanent, crimped-bolted connector sized for the
specific conductor. Crimped on with standard tools and
dies, Also used in the 650Y splice.
Molded conductive shield
Outer jacket of 1/8 think molded conduction peroxide-
cured EPDM provides a virtually in destructible ground
shield for true dead-front construction. A patented ELASTI-
MOLD feature.
Grounding eye
Hole provides a convenient point to connect a ground wire
to the molded conduction shield, placing the molded shield
at ground potential.
Wrap-around conductive inserts
Inner shield of molded conductive peroxide-cured EPDM
precludes subjecting entrapped air to electrical stress. A
patented ELASTIMOLD feature.
Voltage test point cap
Molded conduction rubber cap fits over the test point and
onto the connector housing.
Voltage test point
The 1 hex nut located on the top of the insulation plug
allows the circuit to be tested without disturbing the
connection. The nut is fully insulated from the conductor
and pick up capacitance voltage. A torque wrench with a 1
hex socket attachment is required during installation.
Interference fit
Molded insulating peroxide-cured EPDM exerts uniform
con-centric-pressure on insulation of mating parts to
provide required creep-path length and watermeal.
Apparatus bushing
Epoxy product normally supplied on manufacturers
equipment. Can be welded or clamped to the apparatus.
Threaded stud
A removable threaded stud is included with every 655LR
and K655LR.
Fuse-switch
The straight receptacles are fully-shield, fully-submersible and separable insulated connectors. These will accommodate
conductor sizes of No. 4 solid through 4/0 stranded and cable insulation diameters from 0.495" through 0.985".

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.
Selection of fuses: According to IEC 60787(24kV)
Power fuse characteristic curve
Note) Please ask fuse maker for optimum selection of fuses.
