Form 6 triple-single microprocessor-based rack mount recloser control
15INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS MN280084EN July 2018
Installation procedure
Initial programming prior to installation
CAUTION
Equipment misoperation. Do not connect this control
to an energized recloser until all control settings have
been properly programmed and verified. Refer to the
programming information for this control. Failure to
comply can result in control and recloser misoperation,
equipment damage, and personal injury. G110.3
IMPORTANT
Equipment misoperation. Check minimum trip values prior
to changing an alternate profile. Failure to do so may cause
misoperation of the recloser under loadconditions. T280.1
IMPORTANT
Program all protection profiles. Unused alternate profiles
should be programmed with the same settings as one of
the applicable profiles. Default settings on unused alternate
profiles can cause unnecessary outages if they are below
normal system requirements.
The control must be programmed with all necessary
operating settings, all alternate profiles, and parameters
prior to operation with an energized recloser.
ote:N Initial programming of the control is the responsibility
of a qualified technician or engineer familiar with
control functions and programming parameters
required for the specific recloser installation.
The control must be programmed with the Form 6 ProView
interface software. Refer to Service Information S280-70-9
(ProView 4.X.X) or S280-70-23 (ProView 5.X.X) Form 6-TS
Control Programming Guide for additional information.
Control/Recloser compatibility
The Form 6-TS rack-mount recloser control is only
compatible with the NOVA-TS recloser(s). Refer to the
appropriate recloser instructions for additional information:

Installation and Operation Instructions
Duty cycle monitor
The Duty Cycle Monitor provides the following duty
cycle information:

Measures and records duty for each individual phase in
non-volatile memory.

The recloser duty is measured and stored on the basis
of Current
1. 5
x Number of Operations for Each Phase
(ANSI C37.61).

Readout is based on a percentage of total duty cycle
used for each phase.

Duty record can be adjusted or reset if recloser is
changed-out, serviced, etc.
Using Table1, select the appropriate NOVA-TS recloser
interrupting duty cycle factor and enter that value via the
ProView interface software.

Recloser connections
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 by hardwiring to the
recloser via a recloser interface junction box. The interface
junction box is mounted on the substation frame and
connected to the receptacle on the NOVA-TS recloser(s) with
one cable for each recloser (Figure11).
Connections between the recloser interface junction box
and Form 6-TS rack mount control are made at terminal
block TB2 (Figure13).
Various commercial wire terminals are available for
connection to the terminal blocks on the back of the
Form 6-TS rack mount recloser control. Table2 identifies
common terminal types suitable for connection to the
Form 6-TS rack mount recloser control.
Table3 shows the common terminal type suitable for
connection to the Recloser Interface Junction Box.
