Recloser principle

Reclosersareusedinoverheadlinesandinsubstations.Likecircuit-breakers
theyarecapableofswitchingnormalandfaultcurrents.Theyareequipped
withsensorsandcontrollerbeingtheprotectionandcontroldevice.Incase
of a temporary line fault, they can trip and reclose up to four times, thus
avoidinglongernetworkinterruptions.

Recloser cycle

Incaseofanetworkfault,therecloseropensandreclosesseveraltimes.In
case of temporary faults, the automatic reclosing significantly reduces the
outage times. While the trip settings for each operation can be set
individually.

Design of switch unit

Each vacuum interrupter is embedded in a solid-insulated pole made of
weather-proof cycloaliphatic epoxy-resin. The vacuum interrupter is
verticallymountedinsidethepole,providingalongservicelife.Eachpoleis
equipped with an integrated current transformer and a resistive voltage
sensor.

Operating mechanism
The recloser is operated by a magnetic actuator,the actuator is a bi-stable
system, locked in the end positions by permanent magnets.If not in
operation,themagnetcoilsdonotconsumeanypower.
The operating mechanism housing is made of stainless steel for outdoor
applications.italsoaccommodatesthepositionindicatorandamechanical

 Lockouthandle-pushin
Mechanical lockout (closeposition)

The recloser can be tripped manually. If the handle is pulled, the recloser
opens and is simultaneously locked out electrically and mechanically. The
handlestaysextended,thusindicatingtheinterlockedstate.
To close the recloser again, the handle must first be pushed back to the
operationpositioninordertoreleasethelockout.Thenthereclosercanbe

Controller

TheMicroprocessorBasedcontrollerprovideprotection,control,monitoring,
instrumentation and metering with integrated input and output logic, data
logging&faultreports.
Communication access to controller functionality is via electrical RS485 port
for remote connection. Additional rear port options including RS232 port is
available.
