Improving Distribution Reliability with Reclosers

The Example Distribution Circuit

Typical of suburban/rural circuits 10 miles of 3-Phase 13.8 kV Main Feeder

8 single-phase laterals, evenly distributed on the main feeder. Each lateral 3 miles long, and connected to the main feeder through a fuse
A total of 1800 customers (8 x 225 customers/lateral)
Distribution Substation
