General description

Recloser principle and design

Reclosers are used in distribution systems.

Like circuit breakers, reclosers are used to make and break normal and fault currents.

Reclosers are fully equipped with sensors and a controller to provide a means of protection and control. In case of a line fault, reclosers can break and make currents several times, thus avoiding longer network interruptions due to temporary faults.

Type SDR vacuum reclosers are outdoor devices designed for repeated opening and reclosing in case of a fault, as specified in

ANSI/IEEE standard C37.60.

The vacuum recloser consists of two main components: the recloser switch and the controller.

This instruction manual covers information related to the recloser switch unit and the controller. The instruction manual does not cover the switch unit mounting frame, control and protection relay or related accessories (for example, surge arresters, external voltage sensors, modems or radios).

For information pertinent to the mounting frame for the switch unit, refer to the frame installation drawing provided with the order specific drawings.

For information pertinent to the control and protection relay, refer to the manufacturer’s instruction manuals.

The manufacture, design and testing of the vacuum recloser is based on current regulations and standards and state-of-theart technology. The product conforms to the following standards:

ANSI/IEEE C37.60/IEC 62271-111

IEC 60255-11

IEC 60255-21-1 Class I



IEC 60255-22-1 Class III

Pole

The poles are molded using cycloaliphatic epoxy resin specially designed for outdoor use. The vacuum interrupters are encapsulated in the pole units. In addition, each pole contains a current transformer and may also contain an optional voltage sensor, both monitoring the lower terminal.

The sequence of the poles is C - B - A

(sequence left to right when viewed from the lower terminal side of the recloser switch unit

- front of recloser) (refer to Figure 4). This is marked on the operating mechanism housing by identification indents (A = 1 indent, B = 2 indents and C = 3 indents). This sequence identifies the currents IA, IB and IC of the controller. The phase sequence may be changed to match the system phase sequence using the control and protection relay software.

Current transformers (CTs)

The type SDR vacuum recloser is equipped with one integrated current transformer per pole. The current transformer is the conventional type (iron core magnetic) and has a ratio of 800 A:1 A. It is for protection purposes and optimized for operation with the controller (see controller on page 11).

The secondary signal is based on IEC 60044-1 and the IEC accuracy is 0.5 VA 5P20.

The secondary wires of the CT are connected to a varistor for each pole in the switch unit.

This prevents the occurrence of high voltages

(due to open-circuit CT secondary) if the control cable is removed while the switch unit is in operation. Do not disable the varistor circuit. The signal transfer from the CTs to the controller is by the control cable. A separate cable is not required.

Voltage sensor (optional)

The SDR vacuum recloser can be equipped with integrated resistive voltage sensors

(optional). The integrated resistive voltage sensors have a high level of accuracy and are used both for measurement and protection purposes. The ratio is adapted to operation with the controller (see controller on page

11) and provides a 110 V/√3 secondary signal with rated primary voltage applied to the recloser.

The voltage sensor and CT outputs are coordinated with Siemens controllers. If a non-Siemens controller is used, it is the controller vendor’s obligation to properly coordinate their controller with the voltage sensors and CTs provided in the type SDR distribution vacuum recloser.

An optional separate sensor cable equipped with special screening (shield) is used for the signal transfer from the voltage sensors to the controller. This results in a high level of accuracy and protection against disturbances.

The sensor cable is connected at the back of the operating mechanism housing next to the control cable.

The secondary wires of the voltage sensors are connected to a varistor for each pole in the switch unit. This prevents the occurrence of high voltage on the sensor cable if the sensor cable is removed while the switch unit is in operation. Do not disable the varistor circuit.

Operating mechanism

The operating mechanism for the vacuum interrupters is located in a metal housing. To meet the required fast reclosing cycles, a magnetic actuator with capacitors as energy storage drives the switch unit. A gangoperated mechanism connects the magnetic actuator with the vacuum interrupters.

The operating mechanism is equipped with anti-condensation space heaters. It is operated together with the heating in the controller and controlled by a thermostat.

A mechanical position indicator is easily visible from the ground and shows the current switch position of the recloser (open

= green, closed = red). The colored display is reflective in the dark when using a flashlight.

Lockout handle

A lockout handle with ring protrudes from the operating mechanism housing. The ring is colored bright yellow and is therefore easily seen.

By pulling the lockout handle, the recloser opens and remains locked in this position.

The locking has a dual electrical effect; it locks out both the controller and the electronics. It also mechanically locks the magnetic actuator.

As long as the lockout handle is pulled out, it is not possible to close the switch unit electrically, whether locally or from a remote location. The interlocking is not reset until the lockout handle has been completely pushed in. After this, the switch unit can be closed electrically, either locally or remotely.

The switching is described in the Operation section of this instruction manual (see page

22).

Note: The lockout handle must be fully pushed in or the interlocking will prevent closing of the recloser.

Operations counter

A mechanical operations counter is installed at the bottom of the recloser switch unit. It records the total number of switching operations independently of the electrical recording in the controller. The operations counter is used to keep track of the total number of operations of the switch unit in case the controller is replaced or the electronic counter is reset in the controller.

Mounting frames for recloser switch unit

A pole-mounting frame is used to install the recloser switch unit on an overhead line pole.

The mounting frames can also optionally accommodate surge arresters, source-side external voltage sensors and control power transformers. The following pole-mounting frames are available:

Short pole frame (see Figure 9: Typical pole-mounting frames) with optional provisions for load-side surge arresters and control power transformers

Standard pole frame (see Figure 9: Typical pole-mounting frames) with optional provisions for line-side external voltage sensors, line- and load-side surge arresters and control power transformers.

For installation within a substation, a special mounting frame is available.

For pad-mounted applications, customized solutions are available.

Consult frame installation drawing provided with the order-specific drawings for information on mounting frames.

Hazardous voltage.

Could result in serious injury or equipment malfunction.

For maintenance work, the toggle switch (58) on PCB2 must be in the

"discharge capacitors" position (position I). Do not work on the capacitor circuits when the red discharge LED is lit.

For normal operation, the toggle switch (58) on PCB2 must be in the

"operating" position (O).

Discharge switch for the capacitors

The discharge switch on the switch unit driver

(SUD) module/printed circuit board PCB2 serves to discharge the capacitors. In the

“discharge capacitors” position (I), the capacitor charging operation is turned off and the capacitors are discharged via a resistor – discharge of the capacitors takes roughly one minute.

When capacitors are charged and the switch is changed from the “operating position” (O) to the “discharge capacitors” (I) position, the red LED next to switch illuminates.

When the discharging has reached a safe limit with a capacitor voltage below approximately

40 V, the LED no longer illuminates. Work on the capacitor circuits should only be performed once the LED no longer illuminates.

For normal operation, the switch must be brought into the “operating” position (O) as shown in Figure 17. In this position, the capacitors will be charged. The LED does not light up during normal operation.

Auxiliary power supply

The three-phase type SDR controller uses an internal 48 V bus, which is backed-up by rechargeable batteries as an uninterruptible power supply. The internal bus is energized by the power supply unit (PS1). It is connected to the auxiliary power provided on site, either through low-voltage supply or power transformer connected to the highvoltage line (optional). The charging of the batteries is temperature compensated by the power supply unit.

The incoming supply needs to be connected to the terminals on terminal block X1.

The power supply unit (PS1) is protected by the miniature circuit breaker CB1. CB1 also protects the ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) duplex outlet, which is supplied to provide power to the user’s laptop computer.

The heaters are connected to the same incoming supply and are protected by the miniature circuit breaker CB2.

Rechargeable batteries

Four-12 V batteries are supplied with the recloser. They are to be installed in series on site (see Installation and commissioning on page 18). The batteries are protected by the miniature circuit breaker CB3. The batteries ensure minimal stand-by operation for 48 hours at 20 °C from a fully charged initial condition.

If miniature circuit breaker CB3 opens or trips, it disconnects the control power for the controller and the controller will neither operate the recloser nor protect the network. Control and protection functions restart automatically by closing CB3.

If the batteries are not in use, they should be recharged at intervals of six months.

Deep discharge protection (provided with the Siemens type 7SR224 control and protection relay)

The controller is equipped with deep discharge protection to avoid damage to the batteries if the auxiliary power supply is absent for an extended time.

In case of loss of auxiliary supply, the recloser will work as long as the internal bus voltage remains above 39 V. If the internal bus voltage goes below this limit, the voltage at the control relay binary input drops below the threshold level and a timer will start. This will create an entry to the event file and can be mapped to a general alarm. After a customer-settable time

(default value is 30 minutes), the batteries will be disconnected from the electronics.

The recloser is now completely inoperative and will remain in the state (open or closed) that it was in when the batteries were disconnected.

With returning auxiliary supply power, the controller will start-up and close the control relay binary output contact to connect the batteries to the power supply unit. The power supply is restored and the recloser returns to normal operation. The restoring can be delayed up to 2 minutes, caused by the reactivation of the power supply unit.

Until the restoration process is complete, the recloser cannot be electrically switched from one position (closed or open) to the other.

Optional features

An optional power circuit supply can be provided for additional communication modules (radio unit or modem). It is directly connected to the auxiliary power supply through CB1 and not connected to the uninterruptible power supply.

Additional BI/BO may be provided as an option.

Receiving, handling and storage

Heavy weight.

Can result in death, serious injury or property damage.

Note: Avoid incorrect polarity of batteries.

Connecting the rechargeable batteries with the wrong polarity will result in damage to the controller electronics (PCB2) and also misoperation of the recloser.

Connection covers

The control and (optional) voltage sensor cable connections are supplied with covers at the recloser switch unit and controller. When connecting the cables, the covers should be stored in a clean and dry environment, such as the controller enclosure, in case of later use during disconnection of the cables.

Electrical installation

The following must be carried out in order to establish the electrical connections:

Establish the ground (earth) connection,

Connect the recloser switch unit to the three-phase type SDR controller,

Connect the auxiliary voltage, and

Establish the high-voltage connection.

Establishing the ground (earth) connection

Both the recloser switch unit and the threephase type SDR controller must be connected to the pole ground (earth) or ground (earth) in the substation. If surge arresters are installed, these must also be securely grounded (earthed).

For correct grounding (earthing), the following must be observed:

The recloser (switch unit plus three-phase type SDR controller) must be grounded

(earthed) in accordance with local regulations and work practices.

The cable to be used must be suitable for grounding (earthing). This particularly applies for the cross section of the grounding (earthing) cable and connections.

The cables (control and optional voltage sensor cable) must be installed as close together as possible with the ground

(earth) conductor (see Figure 23:

Connection of cables and grounding

(earthing) of recloser on page 20). Ideally they should be bundled together.

Operation

The recloser is just one device in a distribution system. The user of the recloser must set the controller protection and control parameters to suit the user’s distribution system needs, and to provide reliable, safe and trouble-free operation of the recloser.

Safety instructions for operation

In addition to the local safety rules and work practices, special precaution must be taken:

The accessories required to operate the recloser must be stored in a clean location and must be checked regularly for completeness and good condition.

All keys must be accessible only to the authorized operating personnel.

No modifications should be made to the recloser. This includes, but is not limited, to removal of parts, opening the operating mechanism housing and any modification

(including adjustment) of the drive system of the recloser.

The control cable and the optional voltage sensor cable must not be removed during operation. Removing these cables would mean no further electrical operation could be performed and no measurement values or other signals could be sent from the recloser switch unit to the controller.

Switching

Switching comprises electrical switching

(remote and/or local operation) and mechanical switching (by means of the lockout handle).

Switching is carried out automatically by the controller to protect the network by remote control or manually on site.

Local operation

Local operation describes the manual electrical switching of the recloser on site.

Manual switching using the lockout handle is discussed in the Lockout operation section of this instruction manual on page 23.

These switching actions can be carried out from the controller using the Close/Open pushbuttons or using the function buttons on the control and protection relay. Refer to page

23 for more information.



Always de-energize and ground the equipment and all terminals before performing any work near high-voltage conductors.

Work on the recloser switch unit or the control cubicle should be performed only by qualified personnel.

Do not open the inner panel of the control cubicle, as interior parts energized at voltages higher than 50 V are present.

Do not disconnect control or sensor cables while recloser is energized, as connectors contain energized parts.

Lockout operation

Lockout operation combines the mechanical tripping / opening of the recloser and the interlocking to inhibit subsequent closing of the recloser.

The lockout can also be operated when under load.

For three-pole recloser, all three poles will be operated simultaneously by the mechanical link of all poles.

Open the recloser

1. Using a hot stick or suitable rod from the ground, pull down the lockout handle until it reaches the end (lower) position.

The recloser opens. By operating the lockout mechanism, the recloser is opened mechanically and locked in this position.

The mechanical position indicator on the bottom of the recloser switch unit shows green.

The green OPEN LED on the protection and control relay indicates the switch unit has operated.

The switch action is completed.

As long as the lockout handle is pulled out, it is not possible to close the recloser electrically, whether locally or from a remote location.

Closing the recloser electrically from the controller

1. Using a hot stick or suitable rod from the ground, push the lockout handle back in completely.

2. Follow the control and protection relay instructions to electrically close the recloser.

The recloser closes.

After switching, confirm that the red

CLOSED LED on the control relay indicates the switch position has been reached.

Confirm the green OPEN LED is off.

The switch action is complete.

The mechanical position indicator on the bottom of the recloser switch unit shows red.

Note: The lockout handle needs to be pushed back completely. Otherwise, the interlocking still prevents closing.

Remedy

The auxiliary power supply is protected by a miniature circuit breaker in the front of the swing panel.

1. Check miniature circuit breaker CB1 and switch on if necessary.

2. Check the status of the external auxiliary power supply.

Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is protected by a miniature circuit breaker in the front of the swing panel.


2. Check the status of the external auxiliary power supply.

The heaters are protected by a miniature circuit breaker (in the front of the swing panel).


The batteries are protected by a miniature circuit breaker (in the front of the swing panel).


2. Check the battery status via the protection and control relay menu or monitoring device and replace batteries if necessary.

Manual lockout handle is not fully returned to (pushed in) starting position.

1. Push manual lockout handle back in completely.

Auxiliary power supply may be inadequate or capacitors may be faulty. In this case, the controller’s self-monitoring function can block the full cycle.

1. Check fault messages from the protection and control relay.

1. Check the auxiliary power supply to confirm it is turned on

(connected and CB1 is switched on). Otherwise, the deep discharge protection will prevent the controller from starting up.

Maintenance



Always de-energize and ground the equipment and all terminals before performing any work near high-voltage conductors.

Work on the recloser switch unit or the control cubicle should be performed only by qualified personnel.

Do not open the inner panel of the control cubicle, as interior parts energized at voltages higher than 50 V are present.

Do not disconnect control or sensor cables while recloser is energized, as connectors contain energized parts.

General

Current transformer data

The current transformer has a ratio of

800 A:1 A. The accuracy is 0.5 VA 5P20 to IEC

60044-1.

Voltage sensor data (optional)

The ratio of the voltage sensors is adapted to operation with the control and protection relay and provides a 110 V/√3 secondary signal when the recloser is energized at rated maximum voltage.

Ambient conditions

The type SDR vacuum recloser is suitable for use under “usual service conditions” as given in IEEE standard C37.60/

IEC 62271-111, as follows:

Ambient temperature -40° C to 55° C

Solar radiation <1,120 W/m

2

Altitude <1,000 m or less

Altitude correction factor

The insulating capability of insulation in air decreases as the altitude increases due to the reduced air density. The rated lightning impulse withstand voltage values (see Table

5) are valid according to IEC 62271-1 and

IEEE C37.60 up to an installation height of

1,000 m above sea level. Above a height of

1,000 m, the insulation level must be corrected in line with Figure 29.

Example: At 2,500 m altitude, a unit rated

110 kV BIL under “usual service conditions” will have a lightning impulse withstand capability of:

=

110 e m(h-1000)/8150
