Questions and answers
can a trip saver open and close itself by any fault and what are its mouths
Yes, the S&C TripSaver II recloser can open and close automatically in response to a fault. It is designed to provide overhead distribution protection by detecting faults and operating accordingly. Some of its features include:
- Automatic Reclosing: The device can attempt to reclose after a fault, preventing unnecessary outages.
- Service Now Mode: Older firmware versions (1.7 and previous) may enter this mode if tested or operated in an improper orientation.
- Loadbreak Capability: It must be opened using a loadbreak tool such as S&C’s Loadbuster to prevent arcing and equipment damage.
- Drop Open Mechanism: It can drop open during fault conditions unless blocked by ice or other factors.
- Testing and Operation Conditions: During testing, improper orientation can cause unintended entry into Service Now mode.
Thus, the TripSaver II functions as an automated recloser with specific operational requirements.
