Recloser and Fuse-Link Coordination ‘The following comments on coordination principles and ratings will serve as references also for other reoloser applications covered in this manual. ER COORDINATION PRINCIPLES: ‘Automatic circuit reclosers are the overcurrent protective ‘evices most often used to “give every fault a chance to be tomporary: as stated undor "Coordination Basics” at the beginning of Section 3. For proper application of reclosers on disiribution system, ine following basic ‘coordination principles must be observed {The load- side device must cisar a permanent or tampo- rary fault before the source-side device Interrupts the ‘rcult (luse link) or operates to lockout reclose) 2. Outages caused by permanent faults must be restricted to the smallost section ofthe systom These principles primarily influence the selection of ‘operating curves and sequences of bath source-side and load-side devices, and the general location of these de- vioo30n ihe distribution syetem The placement and num= ber of devices fo restrict outagos tothe smallest section ‘of the system” are determined by individual ulily arac- tice, andthe recommendations and examplesin thie man- tual represent only a cross-section of accepted practices. CLOSER RATINGS Fecloser ratings Include nominal voltage, impulse with stand voltage (BIL), maximum continuous current, tri>- Collcurren,minimurn trip current. and interrupting ourrent In Tables 19A3,20A3, and 213, which list typical ratings, reclosers are grouped for convenience into three major Calogories: single-phase hydraulically controled, three phase hydraulically controlled, and three-phase eloctron- ‘cally controlled.
