3. CONSTRUCTION The Recloser can be mounted on an outdoor pole by assembling a mounting bracket connected to the top of main tank and also installed at substation with substation mounting frame. The vacuum interrupter, magnetic actuator, and current transformer (CT) are contained in the TIG-welded main tank and filled with SF6 gas for the insulation of recloser main tank. The interruption of Recloser is performed by the vacuum interrupter and SF6 gas is used to insulate. The recloser filled with SF6 gas does not produce any by-products by arc during interruption. Thus it maintains permanent insulation capability and prevent corrosion of the main tank components. The Recloser interrupter arranged with the 3-phase dielectric mold frame, consists of the vacuum interrupter and the trip spring with the same distance. The driving arm connected at the end of moving contact transfers a driving force of the magnetic actuator to the interrupter for close and open operation. The 6 bushings on the top of main tank can be supplied with porcelain, polymeric(E.P.D.M. rubber or silicone rubber) bushing upon to user's request. The current transformer (CT) is installed at the bushing connected at the fixed contact of interrupter in the main tank, and CT can monitor phase fault currents, earth fault currents and load currents, and send signals to the control electronics. If the control cable of CT is disconnected at both end, the CT is automatically shorted by the automatic CT protection circuit. The manual Trip/Locking device is positioned on the front side of main tank. The indicator points an interrupter's open/close status and the operation counter are located at the bottom of main tank. The Recloser operation sequence is performed by the microprocessor-based relay. The relay is installed in the control cubicle protected by rain-proof case. The Recloser immediately performs a preset operation sequence to re-close when a phase/ground fault current is higher than the preset value. If a fault current is not cleared at the end of full protection sequence, the Recloser will be lockout as tripped, and remains until the next close operation. If a fault current is cleared during the protection sequence, the Recloser is closed, and then returns into sleep mode after the reset time.



When a fault current is detected, the recloser operates the pre-set full protection sequence again. EVR is powered by AC 110/220V low voltage distribution line source without an additional transformer and is designed to consume low energy to operate reclosing and remote control. Thus EVR does not need any extra cost for installation of additional transformer, in case, low voltage source by utility is available. In case that low voltage power source is not available, the recloser is fitted with an auxiliary voltage transformer to supply auxiliary power to the control cubicle. During open and close operations, the relay sends the pulse type current to the open and close coils, and the magnetic force is induced by those coils and moves the plunger of the magnetic actuator. This driving force is transferred to the vacuum interrupter, which makes contact point tripped or closed. During trip and close operations, arc is produced and rapidly extinguished in the vacuum interrupter. The relay setting in control circuit can be modified at the control panel, a PC or remotely controlled communication method. For more details, refer to EVRC2A manual.



3.1. INTERRUPTER

The vacuum interrupter of the recloser can provides versatilities to operate trip/close with the ratings and capacity based on the fully capable of interruption. The closing status of the contacts is held by contact springs that provide the required force at all condition of contact wear. As a vacuum interrupter is fully sealed for the lifetime of the recloser and it requires only a small contact stroke and low interruption energy. it is suitable for application of magnetic actuator mechanism and also vacuum interrupter has a capability of a large number of operations, which is ideal for the recloser’s application. Thus, vacuum interrupter with magnetic actuator provides a high reliability in operation and minimum maintenance if the replacement of the vacuum interrupter is required with any reasons, please consult with manufacturer.

3.2. MAGNETIC ACTUATOR

The magnetic actuator designed by the newest technology delivers force to the interrupter. Since the magnetic actuator consumes low energy, actuator switching operation can be simply achieved through rectifying circuit with the low voltage AC 110 or 220V supplied from an external power sources and battery charged with the low voltage sources.



The permanent magnetic actuator mechanism has just one moving part. Thus the dramatic reduction in part gives a corresponding increase in reliability. Especially, as the actuator uses magnetic latching and uses trip and close coil separately, the actuator consists of the fewest components and can provides zero-maintenance operation. The actuator driving arm is made of high strength aluminum alloy and delivers force to the interrupter. When pulse current flows into the close coil, the plunger of magnetic actuator is moved by the induced magnetic force to drive the interrupter to close position, and the actuator is then held in the closed position. In contrast, when pulse current flows into the trip coil, the plunger is released from the magnetic latch and the interrupter is moved to trip position.

Figure 3-2. The principles of magnetic actuator operation

3.3. BUSHING

Bushing is mounted on the top of the recloser tank and supplied with either porcelain or polymeric bushing(EPR or Silicone rubber) depending upon user’s requirements. The ring core CT is mounted on the lower part of bushing inside of the recloser tank arranged at the fixed position of interrupter and senses the current flow. This current information is transmitted to the micro-processor based relay via the multi-core cable. Capacitor voltage divider (CVD) is available in case of using polymeric bushing to measure and sense the secondary voltage for signaling use.



3.4. MANUAL TRIP/LOCKING DEVICE

During control circuit faults or line repair, users can locally trip or lock the Recloser with the manual Trip/Locking device positioned on the front side of main tank. It can be manually operated by COS hot stick. If Trip/Locking device lever is in lock position, the Recloser can't be operated by local/remote control due to actuator power-off. In this lock position, the user should push the manual Trip/Locking device up to the trip position to release the locking status of the recloser and then the recloser can be operated by local or remote control. The recloser can be opened manually by using a hot stick to pull down the manual trip handle and the recloser with further pulling down can be locked.

3.8. CONTROL CUBICLE

The Recloser control cubicle is designed for outdoor pole mounted and substation operation which is made of anti-corrosion stainless steel. The door is locked with three position locking devise and sealed with replaceable urethane foaming packing. All vents are screened against vermin entry and the cubicle inside is fully covered with adiabatic faming material which protects the inside components from the rapid temperature variation. The control cubicle outside is protected with a sunshine shield cover which is required for keeping the life cycle from shortening because the temperature sensitive electronic components and battery is affected by sunshine heating. The microprocessor based control compartment is completely sealed against water entry even though the hatch door is opened in the rain during the recloser operation. The condensation of the cubicle inside can be expected to foam due to the temperature variation under the atmospheric conditions such as tropical and moderate climate, however, any condensation does not affect any electronic components arranged with fully insulated sealed and well vented design.

Figure 3-5. Control cubicle layout

Consequently, any condensation on metal surface will run out of the bottom and automatically dried without affecting the electronic modules by ventilation and self heating. The standard control cubicle contains the relay, batteries for control power and mechanism driving power.



The control cubicle must not installed outdoors without the sunshine shield cover in the places of solar heating. Detailed control and relay, Please refer to our separate EVRC2A manual.

The control cubicle is shown in Figure 3-5 on previous page.

3.9. AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY

Auxiliary power source is derived from either of the following; From an external power source of 110V and 220V supplied by auxiliary power transformer. From low voltage supply connected to the utility distribution line. In addition to above, it is preferred to use from an external DC 110V supply for substation

application as option. Actually, auxiliary supply is used to operate the auto recloser through rectifying circuit and maintain charge on the sealed lead-acid batteries. The operation of recloser is fulfilled with the auxiliary power supply through the rectifying circuit regardless of charging of the sealed lead-acid batteries. The battery is used for the back-up operation of the recloser when auxiliary power supply is lost. The battery for operating the recloser is placed in the lower part of the control cubicle and arranged to be easily replaced. The battery life is predicted to use for 5 years service as recommended by the battery manufacturer’s data, but it can be shortened for its life on how it is handled and fitted with the environments. The battery is enough to operating the recloser for 30hours and over 500 events without external power supply. When the batteries are nearly exhausted in showing below DC 15V when battery is tested with load, please replace the batteries with new one as indicated in section 3.7 battery specification or consult with manufacturer.

CAUTION: Auxiliary Power Transformer shall be installed in the source side of user system. External Power of EVRC2A Control shall be supplied from Source side in order to perform a normal sequence in case that a fault line occurs. When the recloser trips, the external power of EVRC2A Control shall not be lost.

A packing list will be attached to the packing case or recloser if not packed. On receipt, the recloser should be checked for the contents of deficiency or damage during transportation. Please inform within 3 days to either the carriers, supplying agent or customer services department of the ENTEC Electric & Electronic Company., Ltd., if any damage was found.

4.4. STORAGE

As the recloser is designed for outdoor use, it can be stored both outdoor and indoor but the recloser should not be stored in a wet place and should not stacked up doubled.



5. INSTALLATION

5.1. INSPECTION BEFORE INSTALLATION

5.1.1. General Upon receipt of the recloser, a visual inspection for damage during transportation should be paid for the followings. 1) Circuit breaker

- Bushings - Bulkhead fitting and connectors - ON/OFF indicator window - Lifting bracket - Trip and lockout lever

2) Mounting bracket 3) Control cubicle

- Door - Door seal/ Door handle - Control and relay on the front panel - LED normal - LCD normal

4) SF6 gas pressure

- Normal: 0.5bar.g at 20℃ - Lower limit: 0.2bar.g at 20℃

CAUTION: If Gas low lamp is on, stop installing immediately and consult with the manufacturer.

5.2. TESTING

5.2.1. Gas pressure The unit (Recloser) is filled with SF6 gas pressure at least 0.5bar gauge at 20℃. If the pressure within the unit falls below 0.2bar gauge at 20℃, the following procedures should be taken.



1) If the gas pressure is above 0.1bar gauge, the filling of SF6 gas should be done directly with attaching the gas handling equipment and fill upto the required pressure.

2) If the gas pressure is below 0.1bar gauge, a vacuum must be drawn out of the tank before filling SF6 gas. Draw a vacuum of 10mbar, hold this vacuum for 15 min and fill upto the required

pressure (0.5bar gauge at 20℃). The unit is capable of keeping basic impulse level with an SF6 gas rich environment at zero bar gauge.

5.2.2. Battery check Please press battery load test button in the control cubicle, battery voltage is displayed on LCD panel. 1) Normal voltage: over 21V 2) Over discharged voltage: 15V~21V 3) Require to replacement: below 15V

If battery voltage shows below 15V, the battery should be replaced with new one.

5.2.3. Contact life of vacuum interrupter The life of the vacuum interrupter is dependent upon the accumulation of the number of faults interrupted and the magnitude of fault current. Consequently, it is very important to record the short circuit operations. If 10,000 operations have been exceeded or the LCD displayed in the control cubicle is indicated below 20%, the vacuum interrupters may need to be replaced. If the replacement of the vacuum interrupter is required, please consult with the manufacturer at any time.

5.2.4. Resistance test on current carrying main circuit Ensure that the recloser is in the closed position. The electrical resistance of each phases should be determined by measuring voltage drop with a DC current of 100 Amperes passing through. The resistance measurement of any phases should not be exceeded over 20% compared with the recommended value from the manufacturer.

5.2.5. High voltage insulation test The recloser has been routine tested at the works in accordance with ANSI C37.60, 1981. It is

recommended that the 50/60㎐ high voltage test should be carried out prior to energizing the recloser for the first time.



One minute dry withstand voltage supply should be applied across each phase of the open position and between each phase and earth in the closed position of the recloser. The recommended site test voltage is 75% of the factory test voltage.

5.2.6. Operation test The umbilical cable with plug-in connector should be connected between the recloser tank and control cubicle. All switches involved should be activated by powered-up control cubicle. Local mode on the front panel should be selected and then the recloser can be operated by using the open and close push buttons. If the battery is discharged, low voltage supply can be connected for charging the battery.

5.2.7. Secondary current injection test If required, please perform secondary current injection as using recloser test kit.

6. RECLOSER OPERATION

6.1. GENERAL

The recloser with the microprocessor-based digital control technology is designed to provide automatic distribution reclosing system for maximum continuity of electric service, please refer to EVRC2A manual in details.

6.2. OPERATION PROCEDURE

1) Ensure that all programmable settings of the relays meet the user's requirements. 2) The detailed information for relay and control, Please refer to separate operation and

maintenance instructions for EVRC2A. 3) Check that the recloser is properly installed and all electrical connections are made and it is

filled with SF6 gas to at least the normal service pressure 0.5 bar.g at 20℃. 4) Check that any external wiring connections for control are placed in normal. 5) If the recloser does not close with electrical operation, push the manual trip lever up to reset

from the lockout to the trip position. 6) If you intend to trip manually, pull the trip lever down and check whether the position

indicator points off position or not. 7) If you intend to lock the recloser, then pull the manual trip lever down to the lockout position

and then trip lever indicates at lockout position. If you intend to “close” electrically when the manual lever is positioned at the lockout position, the recloser remains "open" as closing power is removed. Consequently, you should return the manual trip lever to the trip position for normal operation.



7. MAINTENANCE

7.1. GENERAL

1) The recloser has been designed as a low maintenance unit and using single moving part as adopting magnetic actuator mechanism does not require major maintenance like overhaul.

2) The control and relay maintenance, please refer to operation and maintenance instructions for EVRC2A.

3) Each equipment maintenance for recloser, please refer to section 3 and 4. 4) A general inspection of the recloser should be made giving attention for clean and normal

condition of each equipment.

7.2. DISMOUNTING OF RECLOSER

1) Ensure that the HV system is grounded for safety. 2) Dismantle high voltage connections and prepare the slinging wire to lift recloser. 3) Before the lifting of the recloser on the pole, with the lifting arm fitted and maintain to support

the weight of the recloser with the lifting arm engaged. 4) Remove the multi-core connectors on the recloser. 5) Dismantle the lower hanger band fixing bolts and consequently the upper hanger band fixing

bolts. 6) Lift the recloser and move to the ground level. 7) Dismantle the control cubicle mounting bolts. 8) Lift the control cubicle and move onto the ground level.

7.3. CONTACT LIFE OF VACUUM INTERRUPTER

The life of the vacuum interrupter is normally over 20 years or 30,000 reclosing operations with light load operations stating by manufacturer. However, it can vary depending on the magnitude of fault currents and number of reclosing operations under loaded condition. The remaining life of the vacuum interrupter is displayed on LCD with percentage of wear-out at contact point based on calculating from magnitude of fault currents and number of trip operations. The vacuum interrupter is recommended to replace if the remaining life becomes lower than 20%. Be sure to consult with the manufacturer for replacement in details.



Actually since most faults are considerably lower than the maximum fault current and number of faults are considerably fewer than the guaranteed number of faults. The service life is expected to be much longer than the contact life of vacuum interrupter calculated by the amount of contact wear. Thus it keeps the operation of recloser to be satisfactory. The data of the anticipated contact life and mechanical operation shows as follows;

Table 7-1. Contact life of vacuum interrupter

Contact life Model Mechanical operations

Rated load Maximum fault current

EVR 1 10,000 10,000 100

EVR 2 10,000 10,000 100

EVR 3 10,000 10,000 100



7.4. SF6 GAS REFILLING

7.4.1. General The recloser is filled with SF6 gas 0.5bar gauge pressure at 20℃. When the pressure of SF6 gas in the recloser tank is below 0.2bar gauge at 20℃, the instruction of refilling SF6 gas is as follows.

7.4.2. Refilling procedure 1) Connect SF6 gas tank to gas-filling valve on the side of recloser tank as shown in Figure 7-1

below. The gas-filling valve matches with DILO pressure coupling VK/F-02/8. 2) Measure the gas pressure in recloser tank. 3) When the gas pressure is above 0.1bar gauge, refilling SF6 gas work should be proceeded by

attaching the gas filling equipment and filling the SF6 gas to 0.5bar gauge pressure. 4) When the gas pressure is below 0.1bar gauge, a vacuum must be drawn from the recloser tank

before filling SF6 gas. Draw the vacuum of 10mbar and hold this vacuum condition for 15 min and refill the recloser tank with SF6 gas to 0.5bar gauge pressure at 20‘C
