Overview
Solid-State Circuit-Breaker for DC applications with unidirectional or bi-directional power flow such as batteries, electrolyzer and other DC loads.
Security at its Best
SSCB is designed to open high short circuit currents in a few microseconds through its high electrical features. SSCB is presented as a solution where fuses do not guarantee a proper protection selectivity or where the availability is critical.
The SSCB complies with the most demanding safety codes in the world adapting to the necessities of the market. SSCB is a solution designed and patented by Hitachi Energy and it uses an innovative solution to minimize the overvoltage in the fault opening. With an easy integration and low power consumption, these devices allow remote monitoring and control, as well as a high-performance protecting facility from short circuit events.

Design Solution of 24kV Dry Air Insulated Ring Main UnitThe combination of Solid Insulation Assist + Dry Air Insulation represents the development direction for 24kV RMUs. By balancing insulation requirements with compactness and employing solid auxiliary insulation, insulation tests can be passed without significantly increasing phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground dimensions. Encapsulating the pole column solidifies the insulation for the vacuum interrupter and its connecting conductors.Maintaining the 24kV outgoing busbar phase spacing at 110mm,16/08-2025 -
Optimization Design Scheme for the 12kV Air-Insulated Ring Main Unit Isolating Gap to Reduce Breakdown Discharge ProbabilityWith the rapid development of the power industry, the ecological concept of low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmental protection has been deeply integrated into the design and manufacturing of power supply and distribution electrical products. The Ring Main Unit (RMU) is a key electrical device in distribution networks. Safety, environmental protection, operational reliability, energy efficiency, and economy are inevitable trends in its development. Traditional RMUs are primarily represented16/08-2025 -
Analysis of Common Problems in 10kV Gas-Insulated Ring Main Units (RMUs)Introduction:10kV gas-insulated RMUs are widely used due to their numerous advantages, such as being fully enclosed, possessing high insulation performance, requiring no maintenance, having a compact size, and offering flexible and convenient installation. At this stage, they have gradually become a critical node in urban distribution network ring-main power supply and play a significant role in the power distribution system.

Implementation Scheme for Installing Lightning Arresters or Voltage Transformers in Gas-Insulated Ring Main UnitsAccording to insulation type, ring main units (RMUs) can be categorized as gas-insulated or air-insulated. The former installs primary circuit components in a sealed metal enclosure filled with low-pressure gas (primarily SF₆ or mixed gases) as the insulating medium, using cable terminals for incoming and outgoing lines. Due to superior insulation, compact size, and modular design, they are widely used in 10kV outdoor distribution substations and prefabricated transformer stations. However, thei16/08-2025 -
Pressure Relief Safety Solution for Gas-Insulated Ring Main UnitsⅠ. Problem ContextAs a core component in urban power distribution networks, ring main units (RMUs) are widely used in residential areas, factories, and public buildings due to their compact structure, low cost, and high reliability. However, internal equipment failures or arc faults may generate high-temperature, high-pressure gas, leading to cabinet explosions that endanger personnel and equipment. While traditional sealed designs maintain insulation integrity, they fail to rapidly release sud16/08-2025
