5 Recloser Operation
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 simplied design and also eliminates the potential for an insulation breakdown failure. lithium batteries are only required for closing the recloser after lockout or manual open.
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.
Automatic Operation
The VERSA-TECH Recloser, when in the closed position, operates automatically per the programmed user settings.
Refer to Figure 5-1 for Manual Operating Handle location. The manual operating The fault interruption occurs in the reclosers handle is designed to allow manual vacuum interrupter. This vacuum interrupter operation of the recloser with a hotstick.

The actuator has a rare-earth neodymium magnet, which provides the Closing the recloser after a manual open or latching and holding force for the vacuum automatic lockout can be done by moving interrupter in the closed position. A spring the manual operating handle clockwise 90 provides the pressure to hold the vacuum degrees to the up (closed) position. This interrupter in the open position.

To close charge level, the magnetic actuator closes the same coil is pulsed in the other direction. the recloser. This process from movement of the handle until the recloser closes may take Energy to open and close the recloser is a few seconds. 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 exibility 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
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 ash once every 3 seconds when the recloser has sequenced to lockout. The beacon will continue to ash every 3 seconds until the lineman closes the recloser or 4 hours have passed. After 4 hours the ashing beacon will automatically shutoff. The lithium batteries provide the power for the beacon. The duty cycle for the ashing 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 ash until the recloser is closed or 60 seconds has passed.
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.

6 Control Programming
Overview
The VERSA-TECH Recloser can be tted 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 rst 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 Figure 6-1 Connecting Local Radio which is adapted to the serial port on the recloser.
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 xed 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.
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).

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.
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.
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.
24
During this programmed interval, the control will be in one operation to lockout mode and overcurrent timing will use TCC2. Cold load Operations to Lockout pickup is active after the recloser has been opened manually or has been in lockout The control can be set to 1,2,3, or 4 operations mode. If no overcurrent is present during this before the recloser goes to lockout. interval, the control will reset. Cold Load Time

***While upgrading the control rmware wirelessly, system coordination from this device will be interrupted for 2-3 seconds while the nonvolatile memory sector is written to. If left unbypassed and in the circuit during this time, any faults that occur on the load side of the recloser could be passed back upstream to a source side protective device. Bypassing the recloser may be preferred by some utilities.

7 Testing
High Potential Withstand Test
Applying 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 signicant loss of vacuum.
! WARNING
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.
! CAUTION
X-rays may be emitted from open vacuum interrupter contacts during 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 withstand 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.

7 Testing
Minimum Trip Current Test
The minimum trip current test can be used to check programmed minimum trip settings as well as recloser control functionality. 1.Close the recloser contacts. 2.Connect a low voltage high current test set across the contacts by attaching one end of the test set to each of the 2-hole NEMA input pads (see Figure 7-2). 3.Ensure both ends have adequate electrical clearance from each other and from any ground. 4.Attach an ammeter to monitor the current into the recloser. Slowly increase the current. Note and compare the ammeter reading when the recloser trips to the programmed minimum trip value.

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.
! WARNING
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.
Battery Replacement
The batteries are made of a very stable lithium chemistry, which is designed with a low self discharge that they can function 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 rst two numbers represent the month and the second two numbers represent the year.
High voltage electric contact hazard. Can cause severe injury or death.
! WARNING
The recloser housing and the battery bayonet are energized when the recloser 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 specically listed nor exempted from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hazardous waste regulations as promulgated 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 batteries can be considered a reactive hazardous waste if there is a signicant amount of unreacted, 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.
