TripSaver® II Cutout-Mounted Recloser Outdoor Distribution (15 kV and 25 kV) For Overhead Distribution Systems

Specifications

Conditions of Sale STANDARD: The seller’s standard conditions of sale set forth in Price Sheet 150 apply, except as modified under the “Warranty Qualifications” section on page 3.

SPECIAL TO THIS PRODUCT:

INCLUSIONS: A TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser is ideally suited for protection of overhead laterals that experience frequent transient faults. This self-powered, microprocessor-controlled, single-phase vacuum inter- rupter is available for new installations or may be retrofitted in an existing present-production (“-R10” or “-R11”) cutout mounting provided only by S&C.

The TripSaver II recloser eliminates the sustained inter- ruption that results when a lateral fuse cutout operates in response to a transient fault. Utilities using a “fuse- blowing” philosophy will experience improved SAIFI without sacrificing MAIFI performance. The recloser also eliminates the momentary feeder interruption that results when the substation feeder circuit breaker or recloser is intentionally tripped, to prevent a lateral fuse cutout from operating in response to a transient fault. Utilities using a “fuse-saving” philosophy will experience improved MAIFI without sacrificing SAIFI performance.

The TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser can provide up to four trip operations. A wide variety of user- configurable time-current characteristic (TCC) curves is available. The duration of the open interval between trip operations and the reset time after the last reclose opera- tion are user configurable. Sequence coordination with downstream reclosers is also supported. When this feature is enabled, if a fault is cleared by a downstream recloser, the TripSaver II recloser will shift to a user-configured (usually slower) TCC curve before fault testing. The TripSaver II recloser will maintain its sequence coordina- tion setting until the sequence reset timer elapses.

The TripSaver II recloser drops open at the end of its operating sequence if the fault is persistent. The vacuum interrupter resets two seconds after the recloser drops open; the operator can then reclose the device into the mounting after the fault has been located and repairs have been made. The TripSaver II recloser is capable of dropping open under ¾-inch (19-mm) ice formation. The TripSaver II recloser can also break load current and drop open without the use of a loadbreaking tool.

The TripSaver II recloser has a novel Inrush Restraint feature that measures second-harmonic current to distin- guish fault current from inrush current. If inrush current is detected, the TripSaver II recloser will not trip. The Inrush Restraint feature facilitates lower minimum pickup currents.

When downstream line work is to be performed, the recloser can be placed in the Non-Reclose mode by moving the mode-selector lever from the Auto (Up) position to the NR (Down) position. The TripSaver II recloser will open instantaneously in response to the NR TCC curve set. (It will not go through a reclosing sequence.) It also has new Cold Wakeup and Post-Fault Wakeup NR TCC curves that can be used when closing the TripSaver II recloser into its mounting with the MODE SELECTOR lever down. The MODE SELECTOR lever can be operated from the ground using a Talon™ Handling Tool or a distribution prong attached to an extendostick.

The TripSaver II recloser features a user-configurable Sectionalizing mode. When enabled, the recloser will operate as a sectionalizer over a user-specified range of fault currents when the source-side circuit breaker or recloser trips faster than the TripSaver II recloser. It counts the number of operations of the source-side circuit breaker or recloser and drops open after a user-specified number of counts. The counter resets if no sectionalizing event is registered during a user-specified period.

TripSaver® II Cutout-Mounted Recloser

S&C Specification Bulletin 461-33

Conditions of Sale—Continued TripSaver II reclosers use a nonvolatile liquid-crystal display screen to show its operational information. The screen has two operating modes: Normal, which is the default mode, and the Display mode. The Normal mode shows the position of the vacuum interrupter contacts (Open or Closed), and the position of the mode-selector lever (Auto or NR). A user-selectable Secondary Normal screen shows the position of the vacuum interrupter contacts, the number of vacuum interrupter Open operations, and remaining contact wear in the form of a bar graph. The Display mode provides additional functional information and is activated by cycling the MODE SELECTOR lever. The TripSaver II recloser will scroll through the user-configurable items and the speci- fied number of times before the display returns to the Normal screen.

When the vacuum interrupter reaches 10% of its remain- ing contact wear, a circular indicator will appear on the primary Normal screen. When the vacuum interrupter is no longer capable of interrupting a fault, the TripSaver II recloser will drop open and will not reset, locking the vacuum interrupter in the Open position and the oper- ating mechanism in the Dropped-Open position. The recloser must be returned to S&C for service. An X-shaped indicator will appear on the primary Normal screen if the TripSaver II recloser has dropped open because of an overload. The nonvolatile screen maintains a TripSaver II Normal screen status if control power is lost.

Complete TripSaver II recloser models for a new installation include two parallel-groove connectors accommodating No. 6 solid (13.3 mm2) through No. 2 stranded (44.4 mm2) copper or aluminum in one groove, and No. 2 solid (33.6 mm2) through 250 kc mil (168 mm2) stranded copper or aluminum or 4/0 ACSR (161 mm2) in the other groove.

The TripSaver II recloser has been tested to, and is in compliance with, IEEE Standards C37.60-2012 and C37.41-2008 and IEC Standard 62271-111. The TripSaver II recloser is manufactured in accordance with a quality system certified to ISO 9001:2000.

Service Center Configuration Kit A configuration kit is required to configure the operat- ing parameters of the TripSaver II recloser in the user’s service center or other suitable indoor location. The con- figuration software additionally permits the user to check the basic status of the recloser, view historical data, and perform functional tests. The configuration kit includes a power supply, a USB transceiver for the user’s computer, an instruction sheet, white adhesive labels for recording user-configured parameters, and a storage case. The con- figuration kit is compatible with all TripSaver II recloser models. The configuration software version 2.1, which is compatible with all TripSaver II firmware versions, can be downloaded from the S&C Automation Customer Support Portal. The USB Transceiver version 1.6 or 2.0 is required for use with the software version 2.1.

Conditions of Sale—Continued TripSaver® II Communications via Gateway This remote-communication option uses legacy field-area networks already built for long-range SCADA, advanced metering infrastructure, or distribution automation. The remote communication provides unsolicited alerts, GPS time and coordinates, device heartbeat, and remote mode-change capability via the DNP3 protocol. The com- munication gateway supports a Gang-Operation feature which allows the gateway to send local short-range drop- open signals to up to three gateway-configured TripSaver II reclosers. Optionally, the TripSaver II recloser supports a Remote Drop Open function that can be factory enabled prior to shipment. This feature allows the user to configure the TripSaver II recloser with a communications gateway, to receive and perform Remote Drop Open commands via DNP3. The communication gateway is housed in a padlockable weatherproof enclosure. An optional back-up battery is available for operating through a loss of control power to the communication gateway. TripSaver II reclos- ers with the extended open-interval capability (“-O” option suffix) are required to communicate with the gateway. An option to use the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol instead of DNP3 is also available.

Notes:

· All communication gateways include a door alarm system and an integrated S&C antenna that supports the following:

· GPS

· 890- to 960-MHz /1700- to 2700-MHz bands

· This default integrated S&C antenna will be used for cellular radios, 900-MHz ISM, and 900-MHz MAS radios. No separate antenna is required.

· For 403- to 470-MHz band radios, a separate antenna is required. Refer to Tables 9 and 11 on pages 15 and 16.

· More radios will be added to the list in the future. For other radios not yet in the table, contact S&C.

EXCLUSIONS: S&C may be able to furnish and install in the TripSaver II Communication Gateway, or make provision for, a customer-specified communication device not listed in Table 8 on pages 13 and 14. S&C will need to evaluate the physical and electrical requirements of the communication device and its performance characteristics and conduct qualification testing to verify its suitability for the desired application. S&C cannot furnish or install any communication device for which the supplier requires S&C to offer Tier I (i.e., “help desk”) support.

APPLICATION NOTE: The TripSaver II recloser selected for a specific application should have a maximum voltage rating equal to or greater than system line-to-line voltage when used in phase-to-phase applications. TripSaver II recloser models rated 25 kV, 150 kV BIL can be applied to protect single-phase-to-neutral circuits only in solidly grounded-neutral (multi-grounded-neutral) 34.5 -kV systems where leakage distance to ground meets the user’s requirement. These models use a 25-kV, 150-kV BIL mounting.

WARRANTY QUALIFICATIONS: The standard warranty contained in the seller’s standard conditions of sale (as set forth in Price Sheet 150) does not apply to TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Reclosers installed in other than a present-production (“-R10” or “-R11”) S&C-only cutout mounting.

Warranty of the TripSaver® II Communications Gateway is contingent on the installation, configuration, and use of the software in accordance with S&C’s appli- cable instruction sheets. This warranty does not apply to major components not of S&C manufacture, such as communication devices and antennas. However, S&C will assign to the immediate purchaser or end user all manu- facturers’ warranties that apply to such major components.

END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT: End user is granted a nontransferable, non-sublicensable, non- exclusive license to use TripSaver® II Service Center Configuration Software and/or other software furnished with TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Reclosers only on acceptance of all the terms and conditions of the seller’s end user license agreement set forth in Price Sheet 155.
