The DRC-009, a Smart Grid IoT Device for Ring Main Unit Control
DRC-009 is an advanced smart grid IoT device designed for Ring Main Unit (RMU) control. It streamlines power distribution management through advanced remote-control capabilities, reducing the need for on-site visits, mitigating operational time and costs, and minimizing energy losses. By offering real-time monitoring and enabling quick decision-making, the DRC-009 enhances grid reliability, optimizes energy usage, and reduces maintenance risks significantly.

Why does the utility need to use DRC-009 for the Ring Main Unit?
| Standard Operation | Smart Grid Operation with DRC-009 |
|---|---|
| - Manual switch operation poses risks for the operators. | - Remote control up to 8 switches of the RMU switchgear anytime and anywhere via the PLUM App or RPM Grid System and enable to call control function. |
| - Spending a long time to travel to the RMU location results in wastage of operational costs. | - Reducing the operational cost and spending seconds for Trip/Close the switchgears, checking system status, and monitoring the switch information. |
| - Unable to quickly obtain information on faults such as fuse break, MV absence, phase & earth fault. | - Receive instant alarm notifications in the event of faults. |
| - Managing the numerous RMU locations across the country is challenging. | - Easy to view the location of DRC-009 that equipped with RMU via Google Map. |
