Introduction

ABB’s drive to produce the most advanced feeder automation equipment and to exceed user expectations has led to the development of the new GridShield® recloser. Paired with the industry’s most intelligent electronic device - the RER620 - the GridShield® recloser is a product of extensive research and testing, creating the most reliable and technically adept recloser on the market. The GridShield® recloser can also be paired with SEL’s 651R recloser controllers or it can be used in a relay independent platform where it can use control relays such as

Beckwith M-7679 and others. Whether performing single- or three-phase tripping, connecting distributed generation to the grid or communicating via IEC61850 utilizing GOOSE messaging, the GridShield® recloser is ready for any application.

Recloser Offering Both GridShield® 3P and GridShield® 3SP are capable of single-phase tripping

GridShield® 3P GridShield® 3SP

Recloser Control Offering ABB offers standard ABB control cabinet with RER620 relay or a relay independent control cabinet with Beckwith

M-7679 relay. SEL-651R is also compatible with the high volt units.

ABB RER620 Beckwith M-7679 SEL-651R

Features

• Ability to perform as a recloser, sectionalizer or automated load-break switch

• Recloser platforms for both single- and three-phase system applications for improved system reliability.

• Multiple trip and lockout modes:

o Three phase trip with three phase lockout o Single phase trip with three phase lockout o Single phase trip with single phase lockout

• Proven modular design rated for 10,000 full load operations

• Hydrophobic Cycloaliphatic Epoxy (HCEP) insulation provides industry-leading reliability

• No maintenance required for the recloser unit

• Stainless steel available in both the recloser and control cabinets for durability in any environment

• Low profile control cabinet (LPCC) option is available for applications where a smaller footprint is required

• All electronics located inside control cabinet for easy and safe access, reducing maintenance costs as the electronic controls can be accessed without using bucket trucks or climbing poles (especially helpful at night or during restorations in bad weather)

• Operation of the recloser does not depend on batteries as battery power is only used for backup power when AC is lost

• Compatible with multiple recloser controllers (ABB, SEL, Beckwith)

• Simple integration into Ethernet or serial-based communication networks with DNP3 Level 2, Modbus, and IEC 61850

• Web browser interface for easy setting and record retrieval from RER620

• Advanced RER620 control with programmable pushbuttons and a fully customizable faceplate

• IEC 61850 compliant PCM600 tool suite for all ABB Relion® relays

Recloser Technology GridShield® reclosers have proven field performance using innovative technologies and advanced expertise. ABB has created the most reliable, lowest maintenance solution for recloser applications by incorporating the latest magnetic actuation technology, high quality vacuum interrupters, and HCEP (Hydrophobic Cycloaliphatic Epoxy) solid dielectric insulation material. As a result, the ABB GridShield® recloser is unparalleled in durability and value.

Magnetic Actuators ABB designed a simple, magnetically actuated operating mechanism that could dependably operate 10,000 times with minimal moving parts. GridShield® magnetic actuators are nickel plated GridShield® magnetic actuators have a black zinc oxide plating, making them more resistant to corrosion than older magnetic actuators that used traditional yellow zinc plating. Bi-stable operation allows GridShield® reclosers to remain in either the open or closed position, even when power is lost. The reclosers are equipped with one magnetic actuator per pole to allow for single-phase tripping, and to eliminate complicated linkages.

Because of these capabilities, ABB is the leader in magnetic actuation technology.

Advantages

• 10,000 full load operations

• No lubrication, maintenance, or adjustments

• Up to 16 kA fault make and break capability

• Bi-stable - no power required to hold contacts open or closed

• Single phase tripping capability

Position Switches The ultra-durable position switch was selected for its ability to operate dependably for the 10,000 operation lifetime of all GridShield® reclosers.

Advantages

• Determines pole open or closed positions

• Allows independent pole operation

• Provides positive pole position feedback to the GridShield® control unit

• Double break, galvanically separate contacts

• Gold plated contacts for minimum contact resistance

• Contact position and internal mechanism easily viewed through the housing

Trip Handle The yellow trip handle turns full 90 degrees from horizontal to a vertical position for a very clear and visible indication. Block close (69 function) is standard on all GridShield® reclosers. The 69 switch is wired to a relay input and programmed to prevent a local or remote close.

Vacuum Interrupters GridShield® recloser HCEP poles have a modular design, each with its own embedded vacuum interrupter.

ABB has been developing and manufacturing vacuum interrupters since the early 1980s. Worldwide, more than two million ABB vacuum interrupters are in service. ABB’s vacuum interrupter facility uses the latest technologies in high quality mass production to produce the most advanced and reliable vacuum interrupters.

Vacuum technology fits well with the recloser requirements since it can easily handle frequent operations.

Advantages

• Maximum reliability

• Superior contact wear

• Long life: 10,000 full load operations − No maintenance

• Environmentally friendly

Pole Assembly GridShield® recloser HCEP poles have the vacuum interrupter and sensors embedded completely in the epoxy without any voids giving reliable operation and no partial discharge.

Advantages

• Modular assembly for easy replacement in the field

• Pole embedded 10,000:1 CVD sensors and 600:1 CTs

• UV protected for environmental durability

• Molded design reduces risk of tampering

System Performance High sensing accuracy ensures that the recloser measurements are accurate regardless of temperature and humidity changes.

Current Sensing Accuracy: ±0.5%

Voltage Sensing Accuracy: ±1% between -10⁰ C and +40⁰ C

HCEP Insulating Material The pole insulating material is Hydrophobic Cycloaliphatic Epoxy (HCEP), the next generation of Cycloaliphatic

Epoxy (CEP).

Hydrophobicity provides water resistance, preventing water from developing completely wetted, resistively conductive surfaces on outdoor insulation. As a result, leakage currents are reduced which increases reliability by minimizing the risk of insulation flashover. Furthermore, reducing discharge activity translates into decreased insulator erosion and increased insulator life expectancy.

HCEP does not become resistively conductive when exposed to moisture.

HCEP Properties

• Improved water beading and runoff

• Lower leakage currents

• Less discharge activity

• Decreased flash-over probability

• Minimal erosion of insulation

• Better reliability

• Superior life expectancy

Advantages

• Excellent performance in heavily polluted areas

• Improved weatherability and outdoor aging

• Increased life expectancy

• Enhanced reliability

• Light weight for easy handling

• Exceptional mechanical strength attributed to epoxy-based design

Environmental Performance Environmental performance is dependent on the amount of creepage/leakage distance available on a recloser bushing (pole). Therefore, all ABB GridShield® reclosers come standard with HCEP insulation that exceeds IEC

Level 4 requirements for environments with very heavy pollution - far more creep than required by equivalent

ANSI standards, which focus mainly on BIL performance.

IEC Pollution Levels

Pollution Level Required Creep Ratio

I – Light 0.63 in/kV (16 mm/kV)
