ring main unit is distributing the power supply to meter cubical

Answer

A ring-main unit (rmu) is a piece of switchgear that is used to connect a transformer's primary winding to a high-voltage ring main. It consists of three load-breaking switches, each with three positions: 'on', 'off', and 'earth'. They enable the transformer to be connected/disconnected to the ring; the ring to be 'broken'; or the transformer to be connected to either half of the broken ring. The 'earth' positions allow the transformer's secondary to be earthed, or either half of the (broken) ring to be earthed.

What do you mean by packages?

Prefabricated power distribution substation Its basically a whole 11kv substation but in one unit. It contains a transformer, ring main unit, fuse board and circuit breakers etc. It still uses as much space as a normal substation that houses a separate transformer, ring main unit etc but is easier to transport and is probably cheaper.

Do i need a double pole switch for my 7200w hob and can i wire into my 32amp ring main?

A hob will have to be on it's own circuit, usually a radial fed from the consumer unit. The reason for this is when you work out your amperage 7200 Watt divided by 230 Volts this gives you 31 Amp which is why you can't wire it into your existing ring main. With other appliances switched on it would keep tripping the protective breaker at the consumer unit.
