(ZEp TAVRIDA ELECTRIC Excellence in Engineering AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT RECLOSER

This Product Guide describes automatic circuit reclosers manufactured by Tavrida Electric. Tavrida Electric autoreclosers are designed for overhead distribution lines and outdoor substation switchgear with rated voltage up to 27kV. Important! Due to continuous product improvement, specifications and design are subject to change without notice. The main components of the autorecloser are: Outdoor Switching Module (OSM) The air insulated OSM incorporates a Tavrida Electric vacuum circuit breaker with per phase magnetic actuators housed in a tank made of corrosion resistant aluminum alloy. Six main...

2.1 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. It may be used as:  Substation outgoing feeder with autoreclosing functionality;  Substation busbar coupler breaker with backfeed restoration...

Figure 6 Life cycle of OSM Table 6 - Sensors parameters 3 The Rogowski coil can measure current in a wide range but for the purpose of over-voltage, protection suppressors are fitted in the secondary circuits. These suppressors chop the signal from the Rogowski coil if primary current exceeds 8 kA. 4 If RC5_4 sensor coefficient settings are configured in accordance with guidelines in Table 6 of this guide. Error is measured at normal climatic conditions. 5 Note that overcurrent protection pickup setting value shall not exceed SEF pickup setting value times 300.

5.1 Design 5.1.1 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 which 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. Terminal Six HV silicone bushings Current and voltage sensors built into the bushings Vacuum circuit...

and X6 terminals have secondaries connected in series for residual current measurement. Capacitive sensors for voltage measurement are inbuilt in all six bushings. For details on sensor parameters refer to section „4. Technical parameters“ of this guide. 5.1.4 Main Contact Position Indicator The position indicator is located under a protective cover at the bottom of the tank and is clearly visible from the ground. The indicator color is red I when the OSM is closed and green O when it is open. Figure 9 Main contact position indicator 5.1.5 Vacuum Circuit Breaker The essence of OSM is Tavrida...
