Applications
The traditional 12kV/17.5kV/24kV primary distribution network is mainly arranged as a

radial network, or arranged as a combination of radial and tree network. Since many
users are connected in "T" form to a power line, any maintenance or fault on the power

Overview
SecoRMU is a new compact modular switchgear, with a high-quality stainless steel gas
tank containing all live parts and switching functions. The gas tank is manufactured
through a laser cutting and laser welding process. The entire series includes individual-
gas tank solution and common-gas tank solution. Each unit is extendable and uses a
busbar connector for switchgear extension.

Protected by a Switch-fuse Combination
The striker pin of the fused holder can activate the spring
charging mechanism of the load break switch when a fault
occurs. The load break switch will trip immediately and the
current will be broken by the fuse.

User Interface
The adjustment of WIC1 protection functions is done via DIP switches. Each protective parameter is binary coded set by 4 DIP switches.
Therefore, there are 16 incorporations available in total. It is also possible to read out the stored fault values and setting values of the
WIC1.
The interface can be found at the left of the relay and also above the DIP switch block.
