Overview

The VERSA-TECH® Recloser is a unique and patented approach to recloser design. The interrupter, drive mechanism, control, and housing are raised to the system potential. The entire assembly is then insulated from ground using a standard polymer post insulator. This approach allows a compact simplified design and also eliminates the potential for an insulation breakdown failure.

The fault interruption occurs in the recloser’s vacuum interrupter. This vacuum interrupter has state of the art contacts utilizing axial magnetic fields to interrupt in diffuse mode for maximum interrupter life. The vacuum interrupter is supported by an insulating support housing with bonded silicone rubber over-molding for maximum weather resistance.

The drive for the vacuum interrupter is provided by a mechanism with a magnetic actuator. The actuator has a rare-earth neodymium magnet, which provides the latching and holding force for the vacuum interrupter in the closed position. A spring provides the pressure to hold the vacuum interrupter in the open position. Together the rare-earth magnet and the spring arrangement allow the mechanism to be stable in the open or closed position without the need for external power. To open the vacuum interrupter a coil on the magnetic actuator is pulsed in one direction. To close the same coil is pulsed in the other direction. Energy to open and close the recloser is provided by a set of capacitors.

The control for the recloser is provided by a microprocessor based electronic circuit. The control is designed to allow complete flexibility and user choice of minimum trip, time-current curves and sequencing parameters. User access to all parameters is provided through an RS-232 serial connection. Current sensing for the control occurs through a 1000:1 current transformer.

No external transformer power for the recloser is required. Power for the control and the mechanism is converted from fault or load current using two power current transformers. The open and close capacitors needed to drive the recloser are charged by the load or fault current through the power current transformers. Using this approach the recloser will continue to open and close as necessary without the need for external power or even the hot-stick replaceable lithium battery pack. The low self-discharge

5 — Recloser Operation

lithium batteries are only required for closing the recloser after lockout or manual open.

Automatic Operation

The VERSA-TECH® Recloser, when in the closed position, operates automatically per the programmed user settings.

Manual Operating Handle

Refer to Figure 5-1 for Manual Operating Handle location. The manual operating handle is designed to allow manual operation of the recloser with a hotstick. If the manual handle operating handle is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise to the down (open) position the recloser will open and interrupt the distribution circuit. If the recloser has load current of 1A or more the recloser control will electronically trip the magnetic actuator and interrupt the load current. If the load current is less than 1A, pulling the manual handle down will manually pull open the mechanism and the vacuum interrupter opening the recloser.

Closing the recloser after a manual open or automatic lockout can be done by moving the manual operating handle clockwise 90 degrees to the up (closed) position. This will activate the electronic control, which will initiate the close sequence. Before the recloser is closed the close capacitor is charged to the required level from the lithium batteries. When it reaches the necessary charge level, the magnetic actuator closes the recloser. This process from movement of the handle until the recloser closes may take a few seconds.

Non-Reclosing Lever

Refer to Figure 5-1 for Non-Reclosing Lever location. The handle is shown in normal or up position. In this position the recloser will follow the automatic sequence it has been programmed for. When the handle is rotated 90 degrees clockwise to the down position, the recloser will trip using TCC1 and lockout on any current above the minimum trip. The Non-Reclosing lever does not interfere with the Manual Operating Handle.Cold load time takes precedence over the Non-Reclosing lever function

To turn on the radio without adequate load current, pull down the non-reclosing lever and then push it up. The radio then will automatically shut off after 10 minutes of communications inactivity to minimize battery drain.

Operations Counter

Refer to Figure 5-1 for Counter location. Operations counter is an electromechanical counter, which counts open operations both manual and automatic initiated by the control. Manually opening the recloser when load current is less than 1A will not increment the counter.

Lockout Beacon

Refer to Figure 5-1 for Beacon location. The Lockout Beacon is a unique feature, which is designed to aid the utility lineman in identifying a locked out recloser. This high intensity sunlight visible amber LED will flash once every 3 seconds when the recloser has sequenced to lockout. The beacon will continue to flash every 3 seconds until the lineman closes the recloser or 4 hours have passed. After 4 hours the flashing beacon will automatically shutoff. The lithium batteries provide the power for the beacon. The duty cycle for the flashing beacon is chosen to have a negligible effect on battery life.

The beacon is also utilized when the recloser is manually opened. The beacon will continue to flash until the recloser is closed or 60 seconds has passed.

Hot Line Tag

When this function is enabled through the user interface the user will be able to use the Non-Reclose handle for either Non-Reclose mode or instantanious trip in Hot Line Tag mode.

Overview

The VERSA-TECH® Recloser can be fitted with an optional radio which will allow settings, diagnostics and scratchpad to be viewed remotely while the unit is in service. The radios will also allow settings, timestamp and scratchpad to be changed while the recloser remains in service. Remote radio communications are accomplished using two 900MHz spread spectrum radios. The first is a USB powered local radio that is attached to a laptop or other personal computing running recloser programmer software. The second is a recloser powered remote radio module which is adapted to the serial port on the recloser.

Connecting Local Radio

The local radio (Catalog No. PSC8620062) is controlled and powered by connecting a USB cable between the module and a personal computer as shown in Figure 6-1. Communication with the local radio is accomplished through the recloser programmer software (see section 6) provided with the recloser.

Remote Radio Power

When the VERSA-TECH® Recloser is in service with a load current of 10 A or more, the attached remote radio is on and powered from the recloser's internal current transformers. If the recloser is not in service or the load current is less than 10 amps, the radio is off and must be powered from the recloser's internal batteries. To turn on the radio, pull down the non-reclosing handle and then push it up. The radio then will automatically shut off after 10 minutes of communications inactivity to minimize battery drain. If the Non-Reclosing Lever is left in the down position without the ample 10A of load current, wireless communications will time out in 60 minutes.

Figure 6-1 Connecting Local Radio

Radio Operation

The radios communicate with each other on a 900MHz channel which utilizes frequency hopping to minimize interference from other radio frequency sources. The radio transmit power is 4mW which allows line of sight communication at distances up to 500 feet. The radios use a two-part addressing scheme to help ensure that messages from only authorized sources are passed to a recloser.

First, all VERSA-TECH® Recloser local and remote radios have a unique user transparent address which goes out with each communication. The recloser local radio will accept messages only from a remote radio with the same address. This helps prevent other 900MHz radios from making unauthorized communications with VERSA-TECH® Reclosers.

Second, each remote radio is programmed with a unique fixed radio communications address. This address allows users to differentiate between multiple reclosers all within a 500-foot transmit/receive range. The remote radio will discard any message that does not include its unique radio communications address. The local radio has provisions through the recloser programmer software (see Section 6) which permits selecting any recloser's remote radio communications address.

Customer Supplied Requirements

• Personal computer with Microsoft® Windows® XP or Windows® 7 32-bit operating system, a CD-ROM Drive and an RS-232 serial port and cable if a direct conection is desired.• ***ALL digital transmission can be accomplished with the wireless radio pair in this recloser version**

Software Installation

Recloser programming software must be installed on the computer proir to use. Installation software is provided with each recloser on a CD-ROM.

Connecting Recloser to PC

The customer supplied DB9 Male/Female serial cable is used to directly connect the recloser to a PC (hardwired).Wireless communications can be established utilizing the appropriate remote/local radio combination.

To Establish Communications

Opening of the software interface automatically launches a scan for compatible devices directly connected or within range (hard wired or wirelessly respectively).

Once a device list is compiled and returned, select and activate a device by double clicking its COM port name OR select it by clicking its COM port name and then clicking the connect button to activate the connection. Doing so will automatically connect your computer to that device and query its settings values from the control memory.

Programming Settings

The Recloser Settings Tab appears when the Recloser Programmer Software is loaded and opened. See Figure 6-2. At this point, changes to the settings can be made as required for the recloser’s particular application. When settings changes are complete, the “Write Settings To Recloser” button will allow the settings displayed to be stored in the recloser. Notice that settings fields that are not identical to what is actually stored in control memory are displayed in red until they are committed to memory. From this point forward the recloser will use these new stored settings. These settings can be checked at any time by clicking the “Read Settings From Recloser” button

Minimum Trip Value

The Minimum Trip Value is the minimum current sensed that will cause the Recloser to trip. This current is programmable from 30A to 800A in 10A increments. The control will begin counting towards meeting the selected time current curve when there is a half cycle of current above this threshold. The current level is measured by sampling and finding its peak value. The sample frequency for current measurement is 488.128 usec. This gives approximately 32 samples per 60Hz cycle. High frequencies are filtered by requiring at least 4 samples of current per half cycle in addition to a current sample above the fault threshold. This method will reject frequencies greater than 400Hz.

Sequence Coordination

The sequence coordination feature, if enabled, will prevent unnecessary operations of the recloser when used in a series arrangement upstream from other fault interrupting devices. If the recloser senses current above the minimum trip level for a duration shorter than the programmed control response time, the recloser will internally advance its software count one operation without tripping. This action allows an upstream recloser to stay in proper sequence when faults are cleared by a downstream recloser. False counting is avoided by applying hysteresis to the minimum trip threshold. The current must increase above the minimum threshold and then decrease to 87.5% of the trip threshold before a count is registered. The count is remembered for the reset time.

Non Reclose Vs. Hot Line Tag

In this version of the recloser, the non reclose handle can be selected to be used as a conventional non reclose utilizing TCC1 or as a Hot Line Tag (HLT) utilizing an instantaneous trip. This is accomplished by selecting the proper radio button on the main “Settings” tab of the software. The Non-Reclose/Hot Line Tag option will place the recloser in traditional Non-Reclose using whichever curve is selected as TCC1. IF however the handle is cycled once more within 30 seconds (meaning returned to normal operation and then back to the down position), the device will be placed into Hot Line Tag (HLT) mode with an accompanying characteristic pulsed strobe of the beacon to indicate such. If the Hot Line Tag Only mode is selected, the Non Reclose handle will always function only with an instantaneous (HLT) response.Operations to Lockout

The control can be set to 1,2,3, or 4 operations before the recloser goes to lockout.

Manual Closing Delay Time

The time from when the manual handle is activated until the recloser begins closing the circuit can be programmed from 0 to 30 seconds. The actual delay may be a few seconds longer than the time programmed.

Time-Current Curve Selection

The control can be set to utilize two different time current curves TCC1 and TCC2. TCC1 and TCC2 can be set separately to use one of 11 different time current curves. See Reference Bulletin 10-0501 through 10-0522. Each of the 4 possible operations can be set to use either TCC1 or TCC2.

Time-Current Curve Modifiers

Each of the 11 time current curves can be modified for greater coordination flexibility. By selecting Mod1, Mod2 or Mod3, the shape of the time-current curve can be modified as shown in Reference Bulletin 10-05-11 through 10-05-22.

Minimum Response Time

Minimum response time is used to achieve coordination between fault interrupting devices where fault levels would cause two devices in series to both trip. When minimum response is enabled, tripping is inhibited until the minimum response time programmed is less than or equal to the fault current time. The minimum response time is programmable from 0 to 250 milliseconds in 1 millisecond steps and can be enabled on operation 1,2,3, or 4.

Reclose Time

Reclose Time is the amount of time from when the recloser interrupts the over-current until the recloser attempts to close the circuit again. Each of the three possible reclose intervals is separately programmable from 0.25 to 60 seconds in 0.05 second increments.

Reset Time

Reset time is the amount of time from the last reclose until the present count of operations completed is reset to zero. When the recloser goes to lockout, this count is also reset to zero. Reset time is programmable from 1 to 240 seconds in 1-second increments.

Cold Load Time

During this programmed interval, the control will be in one operation to lockout mode and overcurrent timing will use TCC2. Cold load pickup is active after the recloser has been opened manually or has been in lockout mode. If no overcurrent is present during this interval, the control will reset. Cold Load Time

is programmable from 0 to 300 seconds in 1 second increments. Setting the cold load time to 0 inhibits cold load pickup. Cold load time takes precedence over the Non-Reclosing lever function

Record Manual Close

When enabled, this feature causes the recloser to store in the Event History the time and date of manual closes as well as over-current operations. When disabled, only over-current operations are stored.

Time Stamp

The recloser has a built in time stamp circuit which records the time and date following each recloser operation. The time stamp time can be read using the “Get Time” button in the recloser programmer software (see section 6). The time stamp time can be updated by using the “Set Time” button. The time is updated by reading the time and date from the host computer and sending them to the recloser to be stored.

Note: Make sure that the host computer has the accurate time and date before using the “Set Time” feature.

The time stamp utilizes one of 3 power sources to maintain correct time. When the recloser is in service internal current transformer power is used. When the recloser is open or not in service the main lithium batteries are used. If both of these power sources are unavailable the control has a capacitor backup circuit, which can power the time stamp for up to 7 days.

Note: Once the time stamp has been set, it is important that the lithium battery bayonet not be removed for more than 7 days. If the time stamp loses power, the recloser will continue to function correctly, but the times and dates stored for recloser operations will be incorrect.

High Potential Withstand TestApplying AC 50/60 Hz voltage across the open contacts of the recloser will test the dielectric integrity of the vacuum interrupter. The AC voltage should be applied at 40kV which is 2/3 of the rated maximum withstand for 60 seconds.

1.Open the recloser.2.Connect the test voltage across the

recloser open contacts by attaching one end of the test transformer to each of the 2-hole NEMA input pads (see Figure 7-1).

3.Ensure both ends have adequate electrical clearance from each other and from any ground.

4.Verify the recloser can hold the voltage across the open contacts for 60 seconds.

During high potential withstand tests, self extinguishing momentary breakdowns can occur which do not indicate significant loss of vacuum.

Hazardous voltages are present during testing. Severe personal injury or death can occur from contact with recloser or high voltage transformer during tests.

Recloser and high voltage transformer must be in a grounded test cage or similar protective barrier to prevent accidental contact with energized equipment.

X-rays may be emitted from open vacuum interrupter contacts dur-ing high potential withstand tests.

X-rays may be hazardous to your health.

Maintain a minimum of 3 meters distance from recloser during this high potential with-stand test.

X-rays emitted by testing at voltages up to 40kV are negligible at the minimum 3 meters distance, but higher test voltages may result in hazardous x-ray emission.

8 — Maintenance

Service Requirements

The VERSA-TECH® Recloser has been designed for a minimum mechanical life of 30,000 operations. No routine maintenance is required.

Battery Replacement

The batteries are made of a very stable lithium chemistry, which is designed with a low self discharge that they can func-tion correctly for up to 10 years. Hubbell Power Systems is recommending that users replace the batteries on an 8 year cycle.

Figures 8-1 and 8-2 show the battery bayonet and placement in the recloser. The battery bayonet was designed to be replaced using a hot stick while the recloser is in service. The battery bayonet utilizes a twist lock design. It is easily removed by pushing in slightly and turning.

The date of manufacture of the battery bayonet is stamped on its end casting. The date format is "XXXX" where the first two numbers represent the month and the second two numbers represent the year.

Figure 8-1 Battery bayonet in the recloser

Figure 8-2 Battery bayonet partially removed from recloser

Fire, explosion, leakage and severe burn hazard.

Do not recharge or disassemble batteries. Batteries should not be exposed to temperatures above 212 degrees F. Do not incinerate batteries or expose them to water. Do not short (+) and (-) terminals of batteries. When discarding batteries, insulate the (+) and (-) terminals with insulating tape.

High voltage electric contact hazard.Can cause severe injury or death.

The recloser housing and the battery bayonet are energized when the re-closer is in service. Follow all of your utility's recommended safety practices for working with energized apparatus of this voltage class. Use appropriate length grip-all clamp stick or appropriately rated rubber gloves and personal protective equipment.

Battery Disposal

Litihium batteries are neither specifi-cally listed nor exempted from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hazardous waste regulations as promul-gated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The only metal of possible concern in a lithium battery is lithium that is not a listed or characteristic toxic hazardous waste. Waste lithium batter-ies can be considered a reactive hazardous waste if there is a significant amount of un-reacted, or unconsumed lithium remaining in the spent battery. The key to disposing of a lithium battery as a non-hazardous waste is to guarantee that it is fully or mostly discharged. Once it is discharged it can be disposed of as non-hazardous waste.
