• it is placed on over head transmission and nearer to the
line
CB .
• It is also one of the protective relay.

 What is
Auto – Reclosing ?

 Types Of Faults

Utility Substation Customers

• Transient Faults
• Semi Permanent faults
• Permanent Faults

 STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED IN AUTORECLOSING
INSTALLATION Visual Check

Check of the
Power Supply

Test of the
Auto-re-closure settings
OPERATION

Functional Testing
(involving operation
of Protective Relays
& Circuit Breaker(s)

 Scheme Of Operation

• Live bus\ Dead Line Charging

• Other end closing under synchronism check
relay
• Live bus\ Live line charging

 Types of Auto Reclosing
1. Medium voltage auto-
• Aim of continuity of supply
reclose
• the obvious advantages continuous supply except for
arewhen tripping
duration and re-closure
short operations are being
performed.
• high speed protection decreases the amount of damage incurred and
thus increases the probability of auto reclosure.

2. High voltage auto-reclose

• main considerations are of stability and synchronizing.
• the fault levels associated are extremely high.
• High speed re-closure in high voltage circuits improves the stability
to a considerable extent on single-circuit ties.
FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR
AUTO RECLOSING SYSTEM

• Protection Characteristics
• De- Ionization of Fault Arc
• Circuit Breaker Characteristics
• Reclaim Time
• Number of Shots

SINGLE PHASE AUTO – RECLOSING

ADVANTAGES:-
•Maintenance of System Integrity
• Reduced switching overvoltage due to reclosing
• Reduced shock to generators.
• Sudden changes in mechanical output are less

DISADVANTAGE:-

• Longer De – ionization time

10
Delayed Auto-Reclose Application
1. Densely interconnected systems.

Where the Loss of a single line is unlikely
to cause loss of synchronism between two
ends

2. Dead Time is allowed to be long enough for

any power swings due to fault and tripping
allowed to decay before reclosing

a)Less shock to system than with high speed
A/R
b)Problems of arc de – ionization times, and 11
eliminated.
circuit breaker operating characterstics are
Operating feature of Auto reclosing
schemes
• Dead Timer
• Anti Pumping Devices
• Reclaim timer
• CB Lockout
• Manual Closing
• Multi Shot Scheme

12
 Auto - Reclose Blocking
• Receipt of transfer Trip
• Manual Trip
• Breaker failure
• Three phase Fault
• Faults On Buses
• Under frequency/ Under voltage load shedding trips

Benefits Of Auto -
Reclosing
• Minimizing the interruption of supply.
• Maintenance of system stability and Synchronism.
• Minimum Outage and least expenditure of
manpower.
• Ability to run substation unattended.

14
 CONCLUSION
• Fast clearing of EHV faults is essential to
maintain power quality in an area, because
events on the EHV system affect the
underlying transmission and distribution
systems. Benefits of successful high speed
reclosing on EHV overhead transmission
lines are: improved system stability, reducing
the duration of fault arc, respectively
disturbance time, and economics in system
design. 15
