ABB offers a complete solution for 12/24 kV distribution
networks. This consists of SafeRing,
a Ring Main Unit (RMU) that can be supplied in various
configurations and SafePlus, a compact switchgear with
unique flexibility. SafePlus offers extendibility and fully /
semi modular configuration possibilities. Both the units
have identical user interfaces.
SafeRing / SafePlus are delivered as a completely
sealed system with a stainless steel tank containing
SF6 insulated Ring Main Units and Compact Switchgear

Remote control & monitoring unit (optional)
The use of an integrated remote control and
monitoring unit offers many advantages including
reduction in downtime and increased efficiency.
The unit can be connected to the motor control and
monitoring equipment.
A standard interface allows easy retrofit installation
of the unit.
The functions include:
Remote control and position indicators for
switches and circuit breakers
Monitoring of short circuit indicators
Monitoring of SF6 gas pressure/density
Additional equipment that can be supplied
includes Direct Process Interface (DPI)
board for:
Monitoring of current on the high voltage
side with ring core transformers and
Monitoring of current and voltage on the low
voltage side of the distribution transformer.
(Power Quality Monitoring)
Communication
The unit can be equipped with different types of
communication media. External communication
such as radio and GSM is connected via an
RS232 interface.
Voltage and short circuit indicators
As an option these units can be equipped with fixed type
or plug-in type voltage indicators as well as electronic
short circuit indicators for simple fault indication.
Circuit breaker with relay
When vacuum circuit breakers are used for transformer
protection, self powered microprocessor based over
current and earth fault relay are used. The protection
system does not require an external power supply, as the
power is taken from the current transformers.

Transformer protection
A choice is offered between a switch fuse
combination and circuit breaker with relay for
transformer protection. The switch fuse
combination offers optimal protection against
short circuits, while the circuit breaker with
relay option offers better protection against
low overcurrents. A circuit breaker with relay
is recommended for larger transformers.
Key interlocking
As an option the units can be supplied with a
key interlocking system for circuit breakers,
switches and earthing switches.
Modularity and external busbar
All modules except the metering panel are only
325 mm wide. The metering panel is 650 mm
wide including bus riser. SafePlus can be
configured with a maximum of 5 modules in
one SF6 tank with an internal busbar. To
configure switchgear with more than 5 modules
as many tanks as needed can be joined
together with use of an external busbar.
Alternatively the whole switchgear can be
configured fully modular using an external
busbar between all modules. The external
busbar is fully insulated in order to maintain
climatic independence and ensures
maintenance-free operation. The internal busbar
supports a maximum current of 630 A, while
the external busbar has a rating of 1250 A.
Manual / Motorised operation
Manually operated mechanisms for cable and
transformer switches are part of standard equipment.
As an option, they can also be motorised.
Fuses
When switch fuse combinations are used
for transformer protection, the fuse
canisters are positioned behind a
separately interlocked cover in front of
the unit. To facilitate fuse replacement,
the operating handle is used to remove
the fuse canister covers. The fuse
tripping system is located at the front,
ensuring a waterproof solution.
Arc suppressor
As an option the units can be supplied with an arc
suppressor which closes automatically on the feeder
bushings if an internal arc fault occurs.
Cable connections
The units are fitted with standardised bushings that comply
with DIN 47636. All the bushings are the same height from the
ground and are protected by a cable cover. The cable covers
are supplied with an interlocking mechanism with the earthing
switches. It is also possible to connect parallel cables with a
special double cable cover. Cable covers are designed to
accommodate both single core and three core cables.
