Switchboard vs RMU
Switchboard vs RMU
(OP)
Is it correct to say that an RMU is a special kind of switchboard? The way I see it switchboard generally refers to a collection of circuit breakers/isolators, each breaker in its own panel (or kiosk). There may be many panels in a switchboard (> 10 is not uncommon).
On the other hand an RMU typically has an incomer and outgoing feeder panel (which one is which I suppose depends on the direction of powerflow) and one or two load panels. So is this not just a special kind of switchboard?

RE: Switchboard vs RMU
Terms like these become more meaningful if referenced to a specific standard. Otherwise, your are asking for trouble if you assume the other person's idea of what a "switchboard" is matches yours.
But I have to go watch football now....
