S&C TripSaver II - Remote Drop Open

S&C Instruction Sheet 461-509 49
TripSaverII reclosers supplied with the 30-second option (“-O”), rmware version 1.8,
and ordered with the Remote Drop Open option (“-D”) factory-enabled can be congured
using the Remote Drop Open settings to operate when issued a DNP3 SCADA command.
To use the Remote Drop Open feature, the TripSaverII recloser must be properly
commissioned and congured with the gateway, and a SCADA transceiver must also be
properly connected to the communications gateway. See the “DNP3 Outstation Settings”
section on page 58 for directions on conguring the gateway with a DNP3 outstation.
The settings on the Remote Drop Open Settings screen only configure the feature
in the communications gateway and in any properly configured TripSaverII reclosers.
To receive the command, the appropriate DNP3 points must also be set. For a full list
of the DNP3 points available, refer to S&C Instruction Sheet 461-560, “TripSaver® II
Communications Gateway, Outdoor Distribution (15 kV and 25 kV): DNP Points List
and Implementation.”
Each TripSaverII recloser paired with the communications gateway will appear in
the device listing.
Note: Though the reclosers aren’t numbered in the device listing, the recloser on top
is “TripSaver II recloser #1,” continuing with “TripSaverII recloser #2,” “TripSaverII
recloser #3,” etc. Document this information along with the device names for later use
when setting DNP3 points.
If a recloser has the Remote Drop Open feature (-D option) factory-enabled, the green
Factory-Enabled in TSII indicator will display “Yes.” See Figure 43.
The Remote Drop Open feature is enabled in the communications gateway by toggling
the Enable Remote Drop Open in Gateway toggle button to the On position. Click on
the Save button to save settings.
