RMU, or Ring Main Unit, is a key component in electrical distribution systems, particularly in medium voltage applications. It functions as a switchgear that connects multiple feeders in a ring topology, allowing for reliable power distribution and enhanced supply continuity. RMUs facilitate the isolation, protection, and control of electrical circuits, enabling maintenance without interrupting power to other parts of the network. By using circuit breakers or switches, RMUs can automatically reconfigure the network during faults, improving overall system resilience.

A ring main unit (RMU) is a factory-made enclosed combination of components used to provide HV distribution, control and protection in one assembly. It works by allowing power to flow in a ring network, with the RMU providing switching, protection, and isolation functions to maintain continuity of supply and ensure system reliability. RMUs are commonly used in urban areas to provide a compact solution for HV distribution networks.

One cannot purchase an RMU. RMU stands for Robert Morris University, a university that is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States of America.
A band joint in a Ring Main Unit (RMU) switchgear is used to connect and support busbars or conductors. It provides a secure electrical connection while allowing for thermal expansion and contraction during operation. This joint typically consists of a metal band that wraps around the conductor, ensuring reliability and minimizing electrical resistance. Proper installation and maintenance of band joints are crucial for the safe and efficient functioning of the RMU.
Ring Main Unit. Ring main unit is used in a secondary distribution system. It is basically used for an uninterrupted power supply. Alongside, it also protects your secondary side transformer from the occasional transient currents.

An 'RMU' is a 'ring-main unit', a type of switchgear used to connect distribution transformers to an underground, secondary-distribution (11 kV in the UK), cable ring-main system. It enables the transformer to be disconnected from the ring main, and it also enables the ring main itself to be 'split' where the RMU is installed. Each of the three switches within an RMU usually incorporates an 'earth' (ground) position, which will enable either the transformer itself, or the ring main to be earthed for safety reasons before any maintenance work can proceed.
A ground rod works by providing a path for excess electrical current to safely dissipate into the ground, preventing damage from electrical surges and ensuring safety in a building's electrical system.
Your electrical system is run in a parallel series. This means the majority of your electrical system and components are getting ~11-12 volts at any given time. It doesn't overload because of the way a parallel series system works (the voltages don't "add up" to become a lot of volts) - which is a whole other topic. Google it.
