Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a rain shelter for the door of an electrical control cabinet, specifically a rain shelter for the door of a ring main unit or distribution cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Ring main units (RMUs) and distribution cabinets are both important components of power systems. Both RMUs and distribution cabinets perform power distribution and control functions. Functionally, RMUs are used to construct ring-shaped distribution networks, achieving mutual backup of multiple power sources through closed-loop trunk lines. When one side fails, power is automatically switched to the other side. Their main components are load switches and fuses, focusing on load current switching and short-circuit protection. Distribution cabinets, on the other hand, centrally install switches, protection devices, and measuring components to achieve power distribution, circuit protection, and equipment control. Both RMUs and distribution cabinets are mainly installed outdoors on the sidewalks along roadsides. They typically require regular maintenance or emergency repairs after power outages. During these maintenance or emergency repairs, especially in rainy weather, one person can only perform the work while another assists with an umbrella. This not only exposes the maintenance personnel to rain and splashes onto the equipment, posing a safety hazard, but also severely impacts the work progress. Summary of the Invention
