1 Product Description
1.1 Product Application Field
Reclosers can be applied in overhead distribution lines. The main applications are:
 Clearing transient faults by performing autoreclosing;
 Isolating sustained faults in the overhead line network;
 Isolating sustained faults in a network where conventional protection coordination is not possible;
 Automatic backfeed restoration.
The recloser can also be used at outdoor substations feeding overhead distribution lines for:
 Substation outgoing feeder with autoreclosing functionality;
 Substation busbar coupler with backfeed restoration capability;
 Substation switchgear incoming feeder breaker with overcurrent protection for busbar faults, undervoltage
protection for backfeed restoration purposes and interfaces for transformer non-electrical protection.

1.2 Product Main Components


1.2.1 Outdoor Switching Module
The OSM is equipped with six high voltage bushings with embedded current and voltage sensors.
The bushings are covered by silicone rubber insulation and mount on the top of the tank and provide
500 mm (OSM15) or 860 mm (OSM25) creepage distance.
The bushings are marked with the terminal designation X1, X2 or X3 for the default source side and X4, X5
or X6 for the default load side. The source and load side can be reversed in the RC settings if required.

Figure 1
General arrangement of the OSM15_Al_1(5)

1.2.1.1 OSM Housing


The OSM tank is made of corrosion resistant anodized aluminum alloy. The tank is coated with light gray
RAL 7038 powder coating. Threaded holes (M12x30) on each side of the tank allow the application of
various kits and OSM installation on various poles and structures. These threaded holes can also be used to
install a set of lifting lugs on the tank. The earthing provision (M12x30 threaded hole) is labelled for
identification.

1.2.1.2 Mechanical Trip and Lockout Mechanism


A mechanical trip hook is located at the bottom of the tank (Figure 3). When the hook is pulled down, the
OSM is mechanically tripped, locked in the OPEN position and electrically isolated from the driver. An “OSM
Coil Isolated” warning event is generated by the RC5_4 to provide indication of the locked state. The OSM
remains locked and cannot be operated until the trip hook is pushed back into the operating position.

Figure 3
Mechanical trip hook

1.2.1.3 Mechanical Position Indicator


The position indicator is located under a protective cover at the bottom of the tank and is clearly visible from
the ground (Figure 4). The indicator color is red when the OSM is closed and green when it is open.

The RC5_4 cubicle is equipped with stainless steel earthing provision with M12x30mm bolt: All internal
components and parts are earthed to the main RC cubicle with 2.5 mm2 copper earthing jumpers.
The housing has provisions for protection against dust and water ingress.

Figure 8
RC housing provisions

The RC5_4 is equipped with a Door Position Switch which is used for disabling the CPM at closed RC, as
well as a SCADA indication of the RC door position.
The door position switch is mounted on the internal door and actuated by the lever mounted opposite to the
switch on the external door (Figure 9).

1.2.2.7 Bluetooth Module (BTM)
The RC can be supplied with a Bluetooth module on request. The Bluetooth module provides point-to-point
wireless connection between the RC and a personal computer. It is connected to the RCM via a USB cable
(Figure 20).

Figure 20
Bluetooth module with its USB cable

Technical parameters of Bluetooth module are in Table 10.

1.2.3 Control Cable


The umbilical control cable (Figure 21) connects the OSM actuators, metering and auxiliary wiring to the RC.
Control cable wires are protected by PVC coated steel armored sleeve. The cable is equipped with a heavy
duty 42 pin male connector on the OSM side and heavy duty 32 pin female connector on the RC side. The
connection is made using heavy-duty connectors. These connectors exhibit excellent mechanical properties
and prevent rust.
Advanced CVCSs, control module (CM) and the circuit breaker technology allows unplugging the umbilical
cable when the device is in operation. The position of the main contacts will remain the same, as when the
umbilical cable is plugged unless there are preprogrammed actions. There are no hazardous voltages from
either side of the unplugged umbilical and it will not cause any injury.
The umbilical cable can be plugged in when the main line is energised.

4.2.6 Connecting RC5_4 to Auxiliary Supply


ATTENTION! Auxiliary supply VT connection wire should not be earthed inside the VT secondary
compartment.
Before the auxiliary supply from a pole mounted VT is connected to the RC5_4, resistance measurement
should be performed. Switch digital Multi-meter to the Ohm metering mode and enable beeping signal.
Connect one electrode to the earthing bar (with the connected VT base earthing bar) and second electrode
to both connection wires (one by one or to both of them simultaneously). Resistance should be infinite,
sound signal should not appear.
Resistance measurement is not performed in case an external AC/DC supply is used.
ATTENTION! Corresponding AC1 and AC2 earthing jumpers should be removed before external AC/DC
source with predefined neutral is connected to the RC5_4.
After the main line is powered, the commissioning engineer should make sure that the auxiliary supply is
connected correctly. The auxiliary supply voltage should be checked by digital voltmeter.

55
For that purpose the RC5_4 battery switch should be set OFF, corresponding AC switch (both switches if
two supply options is used) set ON.
Measured AC voltage at terminals 1-2 and 8-9 (in case two VTs are installed) should not exceed the limits of
85-265 V.
Connection terminals for the RC auxiliary power supply are shown below (Figure 57).
