Form 6 microprocessor-based rack-mount recloser control
Recloser connections/control cable
WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Recloser and control must be solidly
grounded. Follow all approved procedures and safety
practices when grounding this equipment. Improper
grounding can result in contact with high voltage,
which will cause death or severe personal injury. G115.1
Recloser connections are accomplished with either of
thesemethods:

Eaton provides a control cable accessory (KA85ME) with
a connector on one end to connect to the receptacle
on the recloser. The other end is hard-wired directly to
the Form 6 rack mount recloser control. Several control
cables are available based upon the recloser type and
required distance between the recloser and control. Refer
to Table3 for available control cable lengths.

The user can hardwire directly to the recloser via a
recloser interface junction box accessory. The interface
junction box is mounted on the substation frame and
connected to the receptacle on the recloser with a short
cable. If the cable lengths are insufficient for the desired
application, control wiring with larger gauge wire is
recommended. To facilitate wiring, two types of recloser
interface junction box accessories are available. Refer to
Accessories for more information.
Connections to the Form 6 rack mount recloser control are
made at terminal blocks TB2 and TB6. Terminal Block TB2
is used to connect the recloser current transformers while
terminal block TB6 is used for connection of the signal and
status functions. If the Eaton Cooper Power series Control
Cable KA85ME is ordered, Table4 identifies the connection
point and corresponding color wire. Also, connect the cable
shield wiring to the grounding terminal stud.
Various commercial wire terminals are available for
connection to the terminal blocks on the back of the Form
6 rack mount recloser control. Table5 identifies common
terminal types suitable for connection to the Form 6 rack
mount recloser control.
IMPORTANT
Disconnect switches for both AC and DC circuits and
a current transformer shorting-type terminal block are
necessary to isolate the Form 6 recloser control for testing
and servicing.
