Self-Powered Relays in Ring Main Unit Market Overview
Self-Powered Relays in Ring Main Unit market is expected to reach $2.4 billion by 2026 estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The self-powered relay with undercurrent elements are used to provide additional functions to prevent damage to the power system in secondary distribution networks. Similarly, it allows typical applications to prevent from loss of load during switching through circuit breaker and protective relay uses, in addition if there is sudden surge of magnetizing inrush current.
These relays blocks the inrush current to avoid false tripping. Owing to these advantages several companies have invested heavily to manufacture this relays with advanced features. For instance, Ashida has designed & manufactured the unique product for protection of Ring Main Units called ADR241S a self-powered relay or dual powered relay can be used in RMUs where there is no external battery backup available. Similarly several other companies have been investing heavily to manufacture these relays with advanced features. Hence these investments, advantages are analysed to drive the Self-Powered Relays in Ring Main Unit market size in the forecast period 2021-2026.
