Switch Control Setup
Load/Tie A team may have from zero to seven closed switches through
which loads on other line segments receive power. This value is
assigned when the switch could be involved in restoring power
to the line segment because line segments on the other side of
the switch have alternate sources.
Load A team may have from zero to seven closed switches through
which loads on other line segments receive power. This value
is assigned when the switch could not be involved in restoring
power to the line segment because line segments on the other
side of the switch have no alternate sources.
Normally open IntelliRupter fault interrupters, 6800 Controls, switches,
breakers, and reclosers
Function Characteristics
Tie/Sub This is assigned when the tie switch is the rst team member
after the substation source. A tie/sub switch or recloser should
have its voltage sensors facing the alternate source.
Tie This is assigned to open switches in the team that restores power
to the line segment directly from an alternate source when closed.
A team may have from zero to seven open switches.
Important: Every closed switch or recloser should have its sensors facing the normal
source of the team. A tie/sub switch or recloser should have its voltage sensors facing
the alternate source.
IntelliNode Interface Modules directly associated with distributed generation
sources
Function Characteristics
Info Only This value is assigned when the IntelliNode Interface Module is
directly associated to a distributed generation device to gather
distributed generation real-time contribution data and status
from the device and to send a Transfer Trip command to the
distributed generation when necessary. An Info Only team
member takes part in all normal team activity but cannot initiate
a team transfer event, nor can it be selected as a switch to open
or close during normal restoration and reconguration. If DG
Reconnect mode is enabled, and after the DG Reconnect Delay
Timer Time setpoint expires, this IntelliNode module will also
issue a Close command to the associated device to bring the
distributed generation back online.
Rtn to Norm Mode
Team members can return the circuit to its normal conguration automatically when
stable three-phase voltage has been restored to a faulted line segment or on command.
For teams with one or more tie switches, select the Open transition setting. The tie
device(es) open before other team members return the circuit to its normal configura-
tion. When selecting the Closed transition setting, team members will close the normal
source switches and then open the tie device(es). The Return to Normal process starts
at the line segments closest to the normal source and works outward.
Maximum Capacity
Maximum load (in amperes) this team member can carry because of limitations, such
as conductor size and device rating, when carrying current in any direction.
