Reclosing & Sectionalising
Index

Definition
Reclosing used to quickly
restore power and limit outages
for transient (self-clearing) faults
Sectionalising used to
isolate sections of the network
for permanent faults
Up to 70% of faults
are transient

Easy to test and Install
Embedded in the reclosers
offer at no extra cost

Customers on the healthy
circuit can see some
disruption
Relies on grading multiple
reclosers which may not
always be achievable

solely on loss of voltage
Wave 2 (2013)
- Intelligent Loop Automation -
Quick Win Solution
Reliable (single comms)
Easy to test and Install
Embedded in the reclosers
offer at no extra cost
> Same Logic + Single
downstream message between
devices to open the down
stream device to prevent
closing on to fault (using
Modbus TCP/IP)

+ Sectionaliser
+ P2P communication
Quick Win Solution
Further intelligence
Easy to test and Install
Embedded in the reclosers
offer at no extra cost

> Enhanced logic calculating
receiving circuit load to
prevent overloading of
alternate source

- Intelligent Loop Automation -
+ Overload Control
> Enhanced logic supporting
connection to multiple ties
Wave 4 (Q4 2014)
- Intelligent Loop Automation -
+ Multiple Tie
More complex loops (3
sources 2 ties)
Reliable (low communications
requirements)
Easy to test and install
Embedded in the reclosers

timers start due to a loss of supply.
Midpoint devices change protection group in anticipation
of the change in the direction of the power flow and go to
Single Shot (no auto-reclose) mode.
The tie device also changes protection group depending
on which side the power was lost (source or load), goes to
Single Shot (no auto-reclose) mode and closes .

The downstream device changes protection

The tie device also changes protection group
depending on which side the power was lost (source or

closes upon receiving a close request.
Picks up, executes trip/reclose sequence & goes
to lockout. It will then send a trip request to its
downstream device using Modbus P2P
