FAQ

Q1: What are the core advantages of the Usune SF6 gas-insulated ring main unit compared to traditional air-insulated ring main units?

Compared to traditional air-insulated equipment, this product uses high-purity SF6 gas as the insulating arc-extinguishing medium, resulting in more stable insulation performance and stronger arc-extinguishing capability. The fully sealed stainless steel tank isolates it from various external interferences, preventing insulation degradation caused by environmental factors. It also features smaller size, lower noise, and longer lifespan, making it suitable for harsh environments such as salt spray, high humidity, and chemical corrosion, where traditional equipment is unsuitable, significantly improving operational safety and stability.

Q2: What voltage and current specifications does the Usune Ring main unit switchgear support, and is customization supported?

The product covers three mainstream voltage levels: 12kV, 24kV, and 36kV, with two commonly used rated current specifications of 630A and 1250A, fully meeting the conventional power supply needs of medium-voltage distribution networks. Personalized customization services are also supported, allowing for the customization of functional modules, protection parameters, and extreme environment adaptation solutions according to different project scenarios, adapting to various differentiated engineering needs.

Q3: Is the operation and maintenance of SF6 gas-insulated ring main units complex, and what is the daily maintenance cycle?

The operation and maintenance of this series of Usune ring main units is simple and extremely low-cost. The fully sealed, integrated structure requires no daily internal cleaning, dust removal, or insulation testing. Under normal operating conditions, the SF6 gas performance is stable and there is no consumption. During normal operation, only an external inspection and pressure monitoring are required every 1-2 years, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance and making it suitable for long-term unattended, stable operation scenarios.
