The RER620 will detect that fault and initiate a binary output signal from the RER620 to the recloser for pole A, the recloser will trip open phase A and then await timing from the RER620 for reclose or lockout. Comparable sequences may occur and operation of the RER620 will continue to operate for phase C or any combination of phase(s) caused by excessive load or fault current.
