2.6.3 RECLOSER SETTINGS
AR FUNCTION: the recloser may operate only if it is ENABLED. If DISABLED the recloser will be Out of
Service.
AR MAX SHOTS: specifies the number of reclosures that can be attempted before recloser goes to
LOCKOUT status, because the fault is permanent.
AR DEAD TIME 1 ... 4: these are the intentional delays before first, second, third and fourth breaker automatic
reclosures.
AR RESET LO DELAY: this setting establishes how long the breaker should stay closed after a manual close
command, in order for the autorecloser to reset from LOCKOUT.
AR INCOM. SEQ TIME: this timer is used to set the maximum time interval allowed for a single reclose shot. It is
started whenever a reclosure is initiated and is active when the scheme is in the
RECLOSE IN PROGRESS state. If all conditions allowing a breaker closure are not
satisfied when this time expires, the scheme goes to LOCKOUT.
AR RST TIME: a reset timer output resets the recloser following a successful reclosure sequence. The
setting is based on the breaker “reclaim time” which is the minimum time required
between successive reclose sequences.
Autoreclose initiation masks: used to select which events will initiate the autorecloser scheme.
