Control Features
The Form 6-LS recloser control offers numerous standard
features and accessories that allow the user the utmost
flexibility applying the recloser control.
Control Security
The Form 6-LS control has multiple customer-programmable
security codes to limit control programming and viewing
function access to authorized personnel. The front panel
Man-Machine Interface (MMI) includes a user-selected
security code to access the settings. Plus, the ProView
interface software has it’s own security levels for multiple-
user access.

Protection Profiles
Four protection profiles capable of fully specifying control
operation are standard in the control. Each protection pro-
file includes the following as a minimum:
• Overcurrent Protection
• Over/Undervoltage Protection
• Over/Underfrequency Protection
• Directional Protection
• Hot Line Tag Functionality
• Sync Check
• Sensitive Earth Fault Protection
• Sequence Coordination
• Operation Settings
Time Current Curves
Time-current curves are available for numerous functions,
including fast and delayed operations for phase, ground,
and negative sequence protection. Each time-current is
selected from a defined fifty curves which can be further
customized by the user. The time-current curves are also
selected from a graphical TCC Editor II to visualize any
modifications prior to configuring the control.
The time-current curves include the following modifications
for phase, ground, and negative sequence protection:
• Time Multiplier with a range of 0.1 to 25 in .1 increments.
• Time Adder with a range of 0 to 30 seconds in .01
second increments.
• Minimum Response Time with a range of 0.01 to 1
seconds in .001 second increments.
• High Current Trip multiplier with a range of 1 to 32
multipliers in increments of 0.1.
• High Current Trip Time Delay with a range of 0.01 to
.150 second in .001 second increments.
• Time Dial Reset co-efficient with a range of .1 to 30
seconds in 1 second increments.
Sequence Coordination
Sequence Coordination eliminates nuisance tripping
through trip coordination. It allows the control to step
through selected operations in the operating sequence
without tripping. The number of Sequence Coordination
advances is programmable from one to three operations to
provide trip coordination with a downline recloser. This
feature is independently selectable for each protection
profile.
Cold Load Pickup
The control includes a Cold Load Pickup feature to prevent
the control from tripping while energizing non-fault system
loads. This feature has independently programmable
minimum trip value time-current curve, reclose interval, and
number of independent operations to lockout for each
protection profile. Cold Load Pickup also includes TCC
Multipliers, TCC Adders, Minimum Response Time, Time
Dial Reset, and High Current Lockout. Also, direct values,
not multiples of minimum trip, are provided for high current
lockout.
Fast Trips Disabled
The control includes a Fast Trips Disabled feature to modify
protection, so that all trip operations use the programmed
TCC2. This feature is independently selectable for each
protection profile. All trip operations will time on TCC2.
Typically, TCC1 is fast and TCC2 is delayed. So, as an
example, the control will change it’s sequence from 2 fast
and 2 delayed operations to 2 operations on TCC2 when
Fast Trips Disabled is active.
High Current Lockout
The High Current Lockout feature will automatically lockout
the control on the selected operation when current
exceeds a programmable level. The active trip numbers for
the lockout is selectable for phase, ground, and negative
sequence. This feature is independently selectable for each
protection profile.
Sensitive Ground/Earth Fault Operation
The control has a Sensitive Ground/Earth Fault Trip feature
that provides tripping of the recloser after a programmable,
definite time for ground currents below normal ground
minimum trip levels. The feature has programmable
operations to lockout and reclose intervals independent of
the ground settings. This feature is independently selectable
for each protection profile.
Thermostatically Controlled Heater
The control has a standard 15 Watt thermostatically
controlled heater (ON at 70°F on falling temperature, OFF
at 85°F on rising temperature) for humidity control and
voltage input independent. The heater is powered from the
power supply board.
