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.

HNOLOGY
EVR AUTOMATIC RECLOSER

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. INTERRUP TER 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.

3.6. MOLECULAR SIEVE The molecular sieve to be used is type 13X and other designations must not be used in SF6 gas. The 13X has a controlled pore size of about 9 angstrom (0.9 ㎜) as typical chemical Na 2O, A ℓ2O3, 2.5SiO2, nH2O. A polyester bag containing molecular sieve beads is placed inside the enclosure and the control cubicle. Molecular sieve 13X is commonly used for the concurrent removal of H 2O and CO2 from gas, air streams and removal of H 2S. Molecular sieve 13X can be regenerated by evacuating or purging, usually at elevated temperatures ranging from 200 ℃ to 300℃. Higher temperature may cause physical degradation of the molecular sieve structure.

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 SUP PLY Auxiliary power source is derived from either of the following; y
From an external power source of 110V and 220V supplied by auxiliary power trans former.
y
From low voltage supply connected to the utility distribution line.
y
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.
