solid dielectric
automatic circuit recloser
Introduction and features
The U-Series solid dielectric automatic
circuit recloser (also known as a circuit
breaker) represents Nu-Lec Industries’
commitment to improved products and
ongoing product development. It provides
the features of a traditional recloser, plus the
benefits of up to date design optimised for
automation, remote control and monitoring,
now or in the future.
The development of this product was driven
by customer demand for improved return on
capital investment in the distribution
network. After carefully evaluating
customers’ needs, the U-Series was
developed to achieve optimum performance
and reliability, making use of the very latest
available technology in solid dielectrics,
vacuum interruption and microelectronics.
The result is a competitive world-class
product of which we are justly proud.
In the past, distribution equipment such as
reclosers have been purchased only to
support load growth. Today, your
customers, the electricity consumers, are
demanding reduced outages and lower
tariffs. We at Nu-Lec Industries are
continually working to provide advanced
equipment needed for tomorrow’s
competitive electricity distribution system.
By using this technologically advanced
equipment, operating costs will be reduced
and capital works can be deferred through
better management of existing plant. In
addition customer revenue lost due to
outages will be reduced.
In addition to automatic circuit reclosers, the
Nu-Lec Industries family of switchgear
includes a range of remotely controlled and
monitored pole mounted load break
switches and sectionalisers as well as
remote control and monitoring software.
This product family is a complete solution for
distribution system automation.

Transformer (VT) for auxiliary supply is available.
b Configuration of the unit is from the Operator Control Panel (OCP), making
commissioning simple.
b These automatic circuit reclosers are ideally suited as low cost feeder circuit
breakers in outdoor primary substations. In this application, connection into the
substation control system is simple and low cost.
Reduced operating costs
b The integral protection relay provides fast isolation of faults, reducing damage.
b The recloser constantly monitors line current and voltage without the need for
additional measurement devices. This data can then be used for forward planning
and optimisation of existing feeders.
b Long lifetime, low maintenance equipment reduces lifetime cost.
DSA/SCADA compatibility
When used with a compatible Distribution System Automation (DSA) or SCADA
system, Nu-Lec Industries automatic circuit reclosers support remote control and
monitoring to provide the following advantages:
b Information on recloser status and fault current values transmitted to system
control allows fast location of the faulted line section, reducing the travelling time of
line crews.
b This same information allows informed remote switching which reduces the
affected area and quickly restores supply.
b Reclosers can be configured and settings managed from system control, without
technicians having to visit each individual recloser in the field, with a consequent
reduction in travelling time and improved system integrity.
Increased customer satisfaction
b Supply can be quickly restored to fault-free areas, resulting in reduced customer
minutes lost.
Deferred capital works
b Remotely controlled and monitored reclosers give an improved knowledge of a
system and provide better system control. Feeder and substation load can then be
remotely managed improving utilisation of existing plant. Purchase of new plant can
then most likely be deferred for a considerable period of time.

and operation

The U-Series automatic circuit recloser uses The U-Series circuit breaker is controlled and monitored by either the pole mounted
vacuum interrupters, contained in epoxy Advanced Controller (ADVC) or the Pole Top Control Cubicle (PTCC). This booklet
describes the features when the U-Series is used with an ADVC. Please see the
bushings, eliminating the need for insulants separate booklet for PTCC features.

in a 316 marine grade stainless steel tank Operator Control Panel (OCP) and electronic controller that monitors the circuit
with a stainless steel lid. The cyclo-aliphatic breaker and provides protection, measurement, control and communication
functions. A detachable control cable is used to connect the controller to the circuit
epoxy resin castings are bolted onto the lid. breaker. Combined together, the circuit breaker and ADVC form a remotely
controlled and monitored automatic circuit recloser.
The circuit breaker is operated by a magnetic actuator which produces a positive
opening and closing action. Switching occurs when a controlled pulse is sent through
the open/close actuator from a storage capacitor in the ADVC. When closed, the
switch is latched magnetically. Spring loaded pushrods provide contact loading on
the interrupters.
A Current Transformer (CT) and a Capacitive Voltage Transformer (CVT) are
moulded in the CT-housing. These are monitored by the ADVC for protection, remote
monitoring and display.
An auxiliary voltage supply of 110, 220 or 240 volts AC is required to power the unit.
Where this is inconvenient, a voltage transformer can be provided as a purchase
option. A control cable connects the ADVC to the bottom of the circuit breaker
through a covered plug/socket sealing arrangement on both the ADVC and the tank.
The recloser is supplied with copper stems or optional cable clamp connectors.
Mounting brackets for lightning arresters are optionally available.
The recloser contact position is shown by a large, clearly visible external pointer.
A hookstick can be used to engage the manual trip ring to trip and lockout the
recloser from the ground. The mechanical trip ring has two positions. In the “up”
position normal operation takes place. In the “down” position the recloser is tripped
and both mechanically and electronically locked open.
The ADVC interfaces to the recloser via the control cable and connects to the Switch
Cable Entry Module (SCEM) in the base of the tank. The SCEM uses non-volatile
memory to store all relevant calibration data, ratings and number of operations. The
SCEM also provides the first stage of electrical isolation and shorting electronics to
short the CTs and CVTs in the event the control cable is disconnected while current
is flowing through the recloser.

Controller overview
The advanced protection, data logging and
communications abilities of the U-Series
recloser are made possible by the
technology housed in the ADVC. It has been
designed especially for outdoor, pole
mounted operation and is normally mounted
low on the pole for ease of access by
operating personnel.
Advanced Controller cubicle
Operator Control Panel swivels out and the customer
compartment tray can be moved forward to ease access to
communications equipment.

The cubicle is insulated and designed to minimise any temperature rise resulting
from solar heating. A 316 marine grade stainless steel enclosure is used to mount
the Control And Protection Enclosure (CAPE), Power Supply Unit (PSU), customer
accessories and Operator Panel. These modules are carefully located so that the
batteries at the bottom keep cool. In this way battery life of 5 years 1 can be achieved.
All weather access is provided to the Operator Control Panel through a lockable
hatch in the front of the control cubicle. Vents are screened against vermin entry and
the door is sealed with a rubber gasket. All electronic parts are enclosed in sealed
modules which protects them from entry of moisture and condensation ensuring a
long lifetime.
The standard version of the ADVC is suitable for climates where the temperatures
rarely go above 50°C and occasionally go below -5°C, with a lower limit of -10°C.
The extended model provides heating to the batteries and has a temperature range
of -40°C to 50°C.
The ADVC incorporates the functions of a multi-function protection relay, a circuit
breaker controller, a metering unit and a remote terminal unit.
A built-in microprocessor controlled power supply provides uninterrupted operation
of not only the circuit breaker and ADVC, but also the communications radio or
modem. These accessories are connected to a built-in user progammable radio
power supply. Therefore no other power supplies are required for connection into
your SCADA or Distribution Automation System.
Due to careful design the efficiency of all parts is extremely high, allowing a battery
hold up time of up to 52 hours after auxiliary supply failure (from fully charged battery,
excluding telemetry radio or modem usage). The architecture used has the
advantage that the circuit breaker operation is independent of the high voltage
supply, relying on a set of batteries charged by the auxiliary supply.
Due to sophisticated power supply management techniques, a circuit breaker
operation is always guaranteed when attempted and alarms are raised over the
telemetry when auxiliary power is lost.
Communications equipment can be mounted within the Advanced Controller cubicle.
A V23 FSK modem, RS232, RS485 and Ethernet TCP/IP are provided as standard
to support all of your communications needs.
(1) Battery replacement interval is influenced by environmental temperature.
Modular design
A marine-grade stainless steel cubicle
houses the three main modules and
customer compartment of the Advanced
Controller. The cubicle is ventilated to help
cooling and contains insulation against

radiant heating. System health checks, trip
circuit monitoring and an IP65 design
ensure excellent reliability.

The Operator Control Panel (OCP) is mounted in the
door of the cubicle. Access is through a hatch in the
door or, when the door is open, by swivelling the panel
away from the door. The menu driven Control Panel
provides access to the system status, event log,
measurement, protection, automation and
communication parameters. A computer port is
provided for local control, configuration and data
retrieval using the WSOS program.
Located at the top of the cubicle is the large Customer
Compartment. It provides ample mounting space for
modems, radios, Input/Output expanders and other
customer accessories. During installation it is possible
to move the accessory tray to a bracket at the front of
the cubicle, making installation and commissioning
much easier.
At the centre of the cubicle is the Control And
Protection Enclosure (CAPE). The sealed unit
incorporates the switchgear controller and all the
control, protection, measurement and communication
functions. All the connections are easily accessible.
Standard DB9, RJ45 and RJ11 terminations eliminate
customised communication cables making installation
and commissioning very easy.
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) and its batteries are
located at the bottom of the cubicle. A built in,
microprocessor controlled power supply provides
uninterrupted power to the switchgear, protection relay
and communication devices. A customer auxiliary
supply terminates in the PSU and is used to charge the
batteries. The battery location on top of the power
supply provides easy access for maintenance.

Special extended range current transformers provide a range from 1A to 12,500A for
measurement and protection. Embedded voltage screens accurately image the
primary voltage value and phase relationship, at the analogue front end, allowing
measurement of voltage, current, power factor and frequency in the electronic
module.
Each recloser is provided with an Operator Control Panel which has a four line liquid
crystal display with back lighting for night operation. From here a user can access
and program the many measurement and protection features available.
Three levels of user interface are available with the Operator Control Panel and
Laptop computer. These are as follows:
1. Operator level
This allows basic operation like Trip, Close and display of settings, such as:
b Protection settings and fault history
b Line measurements and historical data
b Recloser functions such as:
v Remote control ON
v Local control ON
v Sensitive Earth Fault ON/OFF
v Earth Fault ON/OFF
v Auto reclose mode ON/OFF
v Close/Trip ISOLATE
b Alarms/Status such as:
v Auxiliary supply fail
v Battery supply fail
v Lockout
2. Technician level
This level is password protected at the user’s discretion in the “Engineer Level” and
allows the setting of all protection related parameters.
3. Engineer level
This is accessible through a laptop or desktop computer only and allows advanced
customisation of the Operator Panel, setting of passwords, and all the Operator and
Technician Level functions.
Telemetry interface
The Nu-Lec Industries automatic circuit recloser can be interfaced to your SCADA
system either through its built-in V23 modem and a radio, or its RS232 ports and a
modem of your choice, RS485 and Ethernet TCP/IP are also available. A variable
voltage uninterruptable power supply is included for the radio or modem, which can
be mounted inside the communications cubicle. Many telemetry protocols can be
supported. DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-101 are examples of the available protocols.
Computer interface
WSOS is an advanced personal computer based software package to allow off-line
and on-line programming, monitoring and control of a recloser via the RS232 port or
Ethernet.
Remote control
The ADVC offers an impressive list of communication ports for use in remote control
applications:
b 1 x RS232;
b 1 x Ethernet; and
b Any combination of three of the ports listed below:
- 3 x RS232
- 1 x RS485
- 1 x V23
As an additional option, Nu-Lec Industries offers the WSOS multiple connect feature
that allows the software package to individually remote control and monitor a
population of reclosers. The system communicates with the control cubicle by either
cable, fibre optic, telephone line or radio. WSOS provides additional features such
as alarm and event handling, dial in and dial out facilities and report generation.

Advanced protection 0

features

Directional blocking
Directional blocking is a protection feature that restricts tripping on faults to a
designated side of the recloser. It prevents nuisance tripping if particular network
conditions are causing “false” earth faults. In radial systems Directional Blocking
prevents nuisance tripping by blocking faults in the source direction and only
responding to faults in the load direction.

Directional protection
Distinct protection for faults in the forward and reverse direction. A forward fault may
use a different time-current curve and settings to a reverse fault (i.e. these are
individually selectable). Both the forward protection and reverse protection are
operating at the same time. This is an additional protection feature.

Live load blocking

Live load blocking prevents a recloser from closing if any of the load side terminals
are live.
b Live Load Threshold Voltage range: 2 - 15kV

Dead lockout
Dead lockout prevents a reclose unless one or more of the source side or load side
terminals are live. If all terminals are dead then the controller goes to lockout.

Loss of phase
Loss of phase protection trips the recloser if phase-earth voltage on one or two
phases falls below a set voltage threshold for a set length of time.
b Threshold voltage range: 2 - 15kV
b Voltage resolution: 1V
b Time range: 0.1 - 100 sec
b Time resolution: 0.1 sec

Multiple protection groups

The ADVC supports up to 10 Protection Groups, each of which can be configured
with completely separate protection characteristics with different inverse time curves
and setting currents. The number of protection groups available to the operator can
be configured using the Windows Switchgear Operating System thereby restricting
or enabling access to protection settings as required.

Automatic protection group selection

Automatic Protection Group Selection is used to change the protection group
depending on the direction of power flow. This allows the recloser to be correctly
graded with devices downstream regardless of the power flow direction.

WSOS offers a quick, easy way to configure

the protection groups.

Under / over frequency protection

Loop automation
Optional Loop Automation software can be purchased at the time of your order or it
can be upgraded at a later stage.
Loop Automation is a Distribution System Automation (DSA) scheme that will restore
supply to fault-free sections of a network if they have been disconnected because of
a fault in another section of the network. Loop Automation can also restore the
normal network configuration automatically when the faulted section is repaired.
The distributed intelligence embedded in the reclosers operates the scheme without
communications or operator intervention by using the built-in voltage detection of
Nu-Lec Industries reclosers.
Optional external CVTs are required to utilise all the features offered by Loop
Automation.

Sequence Components
Negative, positive and zero phase sequence currents and voltages can be monitored
and logged.
In addition, the negative phase sequence current protection can be used for
detection of low-level phase-phase faults in the presence of high level three phase
loads. Inverse Time, Definite Time and Instantaneous operation is available.

Instantaneous Multiplier x Setting Current.
b Multiplier range: 1 - 30
b Resolution of setting: 0.1
b Max effective setting: 12.5kA

Definite time protection

Definite Time is an alternative to Inverse Time protection. It works by tripping the
recloser at a fixed time after pick-up.
b Setting current range: 10 - 1260A
b Definite time resolution: 0.1 sec
b Definite time range: 0.5 - 100 sec

Measurement features 0

Voltage
True RMS voltage is measured on the three I-Side terminals. A user configured
threshold indicates live terminal.
Optional external Capacitive Voltage Transformers (CVTs) can be fitted to measure
the voltage on the other three (X-Side) terminals. External CVTs can be purchased
at the time of your order or can be added to an existing installation when required.
The external CVTs are mounted onto a cross-arm adjacent to the recloser and the
secondaries are connected to the SCEM card located in the base of the recloser.

Current
RMS current is measured on three phases (reading 2-800A).

Power
External CVT The Advanced Controller measures kW, kVA, kVAr and powerfactor on a per-phase
basis.

Configurable historical measurements

Average demand profiles may be configured using WSOS. Customised configuration
enables the user to specify only the parameters that are required, negating
unnecessary information capture. Parameters such as line voltages and currents,
power, kWh, battery voltage and cubicle temperature can be recorded in intervals
selectable between 1 and 1,440 min.

Event History
b Minimum number of typical events 30,000 events
stored in the event history:

b Supply outage measurement:
v The Supply Outage Measurement feature utilises built-in recloser features to
record the number and duration of outages. These statistics are recorded in the
controller and are available to the Utility to help calculate system outage customer
minutes.
v The controller records the:
Harmonic analysis - cumulative total number of outages,
- cumulative total outage duration, and
- the time and duration of each outage event in the Event Log.
v These records are accessible to the user and can be retrieved using the operator
control panel, WSOS or a SCADA System.
b Harmonic analysis:
v Harmonics 2 to 16 and the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) are calculated over a
80 ms period for four currents, six line-line voltages and six line-earth voltages.
These harmonics are available via WSOS.
b Waveform capture
v Based on an user defined trigger, the ADVC captures and stores in non-volatile
memory scaled raw data (10 x 3200 samples per second) of the six line-earth
voltages and four currents for a predefined time window either side of a user-defined
trigger.
v The user can configure a pre and post trigger time ratio for data to be stored. This
defaults to 50% pre-trigger and 50% post-trigger.
v The captured data can be uploaded at anytime in COMTRADE (IEEE Std
C37.111-1999) format via WSOS.
