I assume this question refers to electrical installations in buildings.

In which case, the answer is no. The ring main is unique to the UK and to some countries that have adopted the British wiring regulations. Elsewhere, such as in North America and Europe, ring mains are unknown in domestic installations.

What is meaning ring main unit RMU and application?

A ring-main unit is a piece of switchgear used on high-voltage distribution ring-main systems (e.g. in the UK at 11 kV). Essentially, it's three switches incorporated into one device used to connect a transformer to a high-voltage ring main. It allows the transformer to be connected/disconnected to the ring main and it also allows the ring main to be 'broken'. Each of the switches has three positions: open, closed, or earthed (grounded); the earth position allows the transformer or either (or both) halves of the ring main to be earthed when maintenance is required.
