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.

Is feeder protection relay and ring main unit protection relay same?
No there not same
What is RMU?
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.
What is rm6 by schneider?
A piece of Medium Voltage switchgear, commonly referred to as a "Ring Main Unit" (RMU), It reticulates power to other MV pieces of equipment such as transformers.
What is meaning of ring main unit?
A standard piece of switchgear in distribution systems comprising of switches for switching power cable rings and of switches in series with fuses for the protection of distrbution transformers. RMU: Ring Main Unit. RMU used for H.T.side. RMU is having 3no.s of switches(Circuit Breakers or Isolators or LBS), it is used for two inputs with mechanical or electrical interlock and one outgoing to the load. Either one input with two outgoings. RMU used for redundancy feeder's purpose. 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. Depending on your applications and loading conditons you can use a swicth fuse combination or a circuit breaker to protect the transformer. This transformer connected to the switch fuse/ circuit breaker is called your T off. In a common arrangement you have Load break swicthes on both the sides of your T off. Ring main Units come in standard ratings of 11/22/33 kV, 630/1250 A, 21 KA/3 secs.
X431Top main unit can communicate the phones around it but it can not communicate with the Top terminal. What could be the reason that X431 Top Main unit can not communicate with the X431Top terminal?
The Top terminal is disconnected.
