Best Answer

With use of non-electric blasting caps and fuses, the main cap is installed on the end of the main fuse and then crimped. All of it is exposed.

At the explosive end of the main ring branches the blasting cap is properly installed in a threaded cap well in the explosive block and a priming adapter is slid over the wires for an electric cap or the fuse of a non-electric cap and screwed into the threaded well. This covers the end of the blasting cap completely.

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.
