RVAC
Ring Main Unit
The development of current power system focuses on the usage of
ecological resources. Low power loss, low maintenance spending,
reliable performance, flexible configuration are required on the
medium voltage switchgear. Due to its features such as long
service life, compact size and recycling, Eaton RVAC ring main units
have proved successful in terms of economy and ecology. It
appears more important for Underground cabled power distribution network in improving its devices and other aspects, with rapid
development of urbanization; ring main units (RMU), as the major
device for protection and segment isolation to ground cabled
distribution network, are widely used in urban power grids, due to
its safe and reliable performance, compact and superior cost
effectiveness.
Eaton as the leader in the field of distribution switchgear dedicated
to designing and manufacturing high-quality power distribution
switchgear since 1942, with over 2 million switchgear operating
reliably over the world till now.
Based on the design concept of full insulation and fully sealed, all
primary parts within RVAC RMU are fully sealed inside the
stainless-steel main enclosure, protect to against condensation
and external contaminated environment; the protection degree of
the main tank body is up to IP67, equipped with Cooper’s IEC
separable connectors, which can provide effective
protection against accidental flood in rainy climate.

Product Features
RVAC is developed to be an economical and ecological user-friendly power distribution device of compact size, reliable
performance and flexible configuration, with the application of advanced R&D technical resources.
Computer simulation
design
Capacitive voltage detection
system for verification of
safe isolation from supply
Each panel type within the
RVAC family is equipped with a
standard three phase Voltage
Detection System for voltage
testing. The VDS shows the
operator if the panel is isolated
from supply or not.
Logical mechanical and
electrical interlocks prevent
incorrect operation
Within the RVAC design
misoperation by an operator is
prevented by using different
interlocks. The interlocks are
mechanical and electrical. For
example electrical and mechanical interlocks prevent operation of the change-over switch
when the circuit-breaker is
switched on. All mechanical
interlocks are constructed in
such a way that they directly
block the mechanism.
Only when the cable
compartment door is closed,
the device can be operated
to power-on position
Only when the switch is
operated to Earthing position,
the cable compartment door
can be opened in a normal way.
Only when the cable compartment door is closed completely,
a closing operation can be
conducted on the earthing
switch. After the earthing switch
is opened, the mains switch can
conduct closing operation to
complete power-on process.
Sealed enclosure design, to
effectively protect against
foreign objects
RVAC is designed by metal-enclosed to be not accessible
without specified tools.
Smooth contemporary
design
All compartments of the RVAC
panels are designed in such a
way that the system is safe to
touch from the outside. By
using a smooth and smart
design it is not possible for the
operator to injure himself by
moving parts or by parts that
stick out of the switchgear
when moving in front of the
switchgear.
Routine tests
Various prescribed routine
tests are carried out during the
production of the switchgear.
To assure quality, all processes
are in accordance with ISO
9001. This means that at every
stage of production the
components, circuit-breakers
and current transformers are
inspected for correct functionality. When the entire installation has been assembled, a
thorough visual inspection is
carried out, together with
mechanical, functional and
electrical checks.
Tested Internal Arc
performance
Eaton has always been focusing
on building consistently safe
switchgear devices for operators. The biggest potential risk
for operators is internal arcing
within the switchgear device.
Therefore, design engineers
have taken all necessary
simulations to reduce the
internal arc risk during product
design process.
Eaton supports the philosophy
that it is best to avoid internal arcs
than to cure, in line with the
relevant standard IEC 62271.
Within the RVAC design a double
prevention philosophy is used.
Firstly, the design is constructed in
such a way that an internal arc is
prevented. In the unlikely case
that an internal arc could occur,
the RVAC is equipped to provide
maximum safety to the operator,
and to control and minimise
damage to the rest of the
switchgear and room.
