S&C IntelliRupter PulseCloser

Outdoor Distribution, 15.5 kV, 27 kV, and 38 kV

IntelliRupter PulseCloserTomorrows Technology Available Today

S&Cs IntelliRupter PulseCloser is a breakthrough in JJ External power supply connector. Permits

overhead distribution system protection. This unitized
package of fault-interrupting and control components
can operate as a stand-alone fault interrupter or, with
appropriate options, can be integrated into a SCADA
system and/or an S&C IntelliTeamSG Automatic
Restoration System.
IntelliRupter features S&Cs revolutionary
PulseClosing Technologya unique means for
verifying that the line is clear of faults before
initiating a close operation. Pulseclosing is superior
to conventional reclosing. It greatly reduces stress
on system components, as well as voltage sags
experienced by customers upstream of the fault.
IntelliRupter offers outstanding protection for
60-Hz systems through 38 kV, and 50-Hz systems
through 24 kV. It provides full live-switching
performance under all ice conditions... circuit
making, circuit breaking, and pulseclosing are
accomplished within the interrupters; there are no
external moving parts.
IntelliRupter is factory-assembled on a stainless-
steel base and includes:
JJ Three-pole vacuum interrupters rated
630amperes continuous, 16,000 amperes
interrupting for 15-kV models, and 12,500amperes
interrupting for 27-kV and 38-kV models. A rating
of 800amperes continuous applies with a 2ft./sec.

JJ Unique magnetic latching actuators that
provide single-phase tripping/single-phase lockout,
single-phase tripping/three-phase lockout, or
three-phase tripping/three-phase lockout of the
interrupters. Interrupters can also be manually
tripped by means of a manual lever, operable from
the ground with an extendostick.
JJ Sensors for three-phase monitoring of line
current, and three-phase monitoring of line
voltage on both sides of the interrupters, provides
high accuracy sensing. Total sensing system
accuracy is 0.5% for steady-state current, and 2%
for fault current.

Fault Testing with a PULSE...
Instead of a BANG!
Conventional reclosers stress the circuit with fault
current every time they reclose into a fault. But
after IntelliRupter interrupts a fault, it pulsecloses
to intelligently test for fault current before closing.
The oscillograms in Figure2 show the remarkable
difference in current versus time during fault testing
with a conventional recloser and IntelliRupter.
The relative let-through energy, in I2t, of a
pulseclosing operation is typically less than 2% of
a conventional reclosing operation, as shown in
Figure3.

Innovative Technology Is the Key
After clearing a fault, a conventional recloser simply
recloses the interrupters to test for continued
presence of the fault. If the fault is still there, the
interrupters are tripped again. Then, after a time First reclose operation
delay, the interrupters are reclosed. With each
reclosing operation, even the fastest recloser feeds
a significant amount of energy into the fault,
resulting in system-damaging stress and
voltage sags. Second reclose

Initial trip
Figure 4 shows how a conventional recloser
operates in response to a permanent single-phase-to-
ground fault. The uncontrolled closing often results in
asymmetric fault current, significantly increasing peak
energy into the fault.
But after IntelliRupter clears a fault, it tests for
continued presence of the fault using S&Cs advanced Figure 4. Conventional reclosing in response to a

With IntelliRupter, your system only experiences

IntelliTeamSG is the latest generation of S&Cs
field-proven automatic restoration system. Its
Rapid Self-Healing feature accomplishes restoration
in seconds. IntelliTeamSG includes a new setup
tool, IntelliTeam Designer, that greatly simplifies
configuration and deployment.
IntelliTeamSG makes full use of alternate sources
to restore unfaulted line segments without overloading
any part of the system. IntelliTeamSG minimizes the
number of customers experiencing an extended power
interruption, tremendously improving your System
Average Interruption Duration Index. IntelliTeamSG can
handle multiple contingencies too.

Loop Restoration Applications
IntelliRupter can enhance the performance of loop
restoration schemes using conventional reclosers, by
eliminating the need to subject the alternate circuit in
the loop to a fault when closing the tie. Just replace
the recloser in the tie position with an IntelliRupter to
take advantage of PulseClosing Technology.
Even greater benefits can be achieved in loop
schemes where all protective points use IntelliRupter.
Its fast interrupters and accurate sensing and control
enable significant reductions in protection margins.
With the negligible effect pulseclosing has on source-
side customers, the system can be segmented as
needed without sacrificing protection.
And with IntelliRupter protecting the loop,
customers wont experience voltage sags on their
good circuit during testing of a faulted circuit!
Complaints and costly claims will be greatly reduced.
Radial Circuit Protection Applications
IntelliRupter enhances reliability on radial circuits by
overcoming the limits of conventional coordination
methods. Series-connected IntelliRupters can be
configured so that after one unit opens to isolate a
fault, those downstream, with the same settings,
also open.
When power returns, each IntelliRupterstarting
at the sourcepulsecloses, in turn, to verify that its
line segment is unfaulted... then closes to restore
service. It will never close into a fault. Cold-load
inrush is mitigated because only one line segment
is energized with each closing. No communication
system is required to take advantage of this enhanced
coordination and inrush mitigation.
A New Concept in Controls
IntelliRupter is available with a variety of control
groups. Each features easy configuration and
operationand examination of waveforms and
eventsusing secure wireless communication to a
nearby laptop computer.
The control group includes a base-mounted,
hookstick-removable protection and control module
and communication module. See Figure6. This
flexible, low-maintenance arrangement offers
excellent immunity to surges and noise induced by
normal power line events such as faults and lightning
strikes, and minimizes pole clutter. IntelliRupter
is powered from the distribution line, through the
integral power module(s) or the external power
supply, if furnished.
The protection and control module provides point-
on-wave closing to minimize asymmetric fault current
and inrush current. It features a complete set of
protection and control functions including:

JJ Simultaneous independent directional phase,
ground, negative-sequence, and sensitive-earth
time-overcurrent, instantaneous-overcurrent, and
definite-time elements,
JJ Directional blocking of overcurrent elements,
JJ Over/under voltage elements,
JJ Over/under frequency elements,
JJ Phase unbalance detection,
JJ Synchronization check, and
JJ Cold-load pickup modifier.
Comprehensive diagnostics are included too.
A sophisticated 20-channel Global Positioning
System chip set provides 1-ms accurate time-stamping
of events to speed post-event analysis, as well as
IntelliRupter location data to help you maintain your
graphical information system.
Select the control group that meets the needs of
your distribution system:
JJ Standard Control Group. Ideal for the following
applications:
IntelliTeamSG Automatic Restoration System.
Teams utilize peer-to-peer communication,
real-time data, and distributed intelligence to
make automatic operating decisions. No central
processing or SCADA is required, though fully
supported. Each IntelliRupter must be furnished
with an S&C SpeedNet Radio or other
approved communication device.
Automatic source transfer using two
IntelliRupters. The IntelliRupters ensure a high
degree of critical-load continuity by minimizing
interruptions resulting from the loss of one
source. Each IntelliRupter must be furnished
with an S&C SpeedNet Radio or other approved
communication device.
Automatic loop restoration using normally
closed IntelliRupters or conventional reclosers,
with a normally open IntelliRupter switching
point. The feeder on either side of the switching
point can be fed from a different source. If a
fault occurs on either feeder, the normally closed
devices in that feeder open, then pulseclose (or
reclose) sequentially to sectionalize and isolate
the fault. Service is automatically restored to
unfaulted line segments by closing the normally
open IntelliRupter.
Wide-area SCADA, when equipped with an
S&C SpeedNet Radio or other approved
communication device.
Stand-alone (non-communicating) applications.
 Approved communication devices permit JJ
configuration, operation, interrogation, and software
maintenance of IntelliRupter from any location having
access to the communication system, using optional
IntelliLink Remote Setup Software.
No batteries are required for stand-alone
applications and applications with operating times of
30 seconds or less; ac line voltage must be available
on the side of the IntelliRupter with the integral JJ
power module or control power must be available
from the external power supply, if furnished.

IntelliRupter features embedded current and
voltage sensors that eliminate the cost, clutter, and
complexity of separately mounted sensors. Theres no
control enclosure or control cable to install, either.
Since IntelliRupter is directly powered from the line,
theres no external potential transformer to install, no
grounding issues to worry about.
IntelliRupter installation typically takes about two
hours... or as little as one hour after your crews get
experienced.
Compare the clean-looking IntelliRupter installation
with that of a conventional recloser. See Figure8. The
photos really tell the story.
Figure 8. Typical conventional recloser
installation.
 Control cables are vulnerable to damage from ice,
rodents, and vandals. And sensor cables increase
exposure to damage from lightning and power surges,
and complicate grounding.
IntelliRupter eliminates these potential problems. It
doesnt have any external control or sensor cables!
Compare the cable-less IntelliRupter in Figure9
with the many-cabled conventional recloser in
