WARNING
The TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser is
different from other cutout-mounted devices, such as
fuses. Therefore, before using a TripSaver II recloser,
installation training using both a hotstick and an
extendo stick must be provided so line crews know
how to correctly install the recloser in the field to avoid
potential serious injury or death.
WARNING
DO NOT use the curled prong of an S&C Talon
Handling Tool to close a TripSaver II recloser. Using
the curled prong of a Talon tool to close a TripSaver II
recloser can prevent full closure, resulting in arcing,
equipment damage, serious injury, or death.
To close a TripSaverII recloser into the mounting:
(a) Stand rmly in front of and in line with the cutout
mounting. Do not operate directly underneath
the TripSaver II recloser. Insert the straight
prong of an S&C Talon Handling Tool or a
distribution prong into the pull-ring.
(b) To close a TripSaver II recloser using an extendo
stick, stand between 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 m) away
from the pole.
(c) Swing the TripSaver II recloser to within
approximately 45 degrees of the fully closed
position, as shown in Figure 6.
(d) While rmly gripping the stick, drive the
TripSaver II recloser closed with forward force.
Maintain the forward force until the recloser
properly closes and latches into the cutout
mounting.
(e) Disengage the prong from the pull ring, taking
care to avoid pulling open the TripSaver II
recloser.
STEP 6. Verify that the MODE-SELECTOR lever is in the
desired position. Figure 7 shows the MODE-
SELECTOR lever in the Auto position, and
Figure 8 shows the MODE-SELECTOR lever in
the N R (n o n -r e c l o se) position.
Note: The MODE-SELECTOR lever can be
placed in either the Auto position or NR
position before closing the TripSaver II
recloser into the mounting. The TripSaver
II recloser has a Transformer-Magnetizing
Inrush Restraint feature that is always on.
It is not susceptible to inrush current and will
not nuisance trip on inrush when closed into
the mounting.
