a) Constructive Characteristics
The recloser shall be three-phase, automatic, appropriate for pole installation, with a sensor
device for overcurrent protection against overload and faults in the phases and to earth, capable
to interrupt and reclose a medium-voltage circuit according to a pre-established sequence of
openings and closures followed by reset and blocking. It shall also be self-sufficient in
functioning of protection, control and programming.
The recloser shall be supplied with its respective pole-fixing support and all the requirements
herein specified shall be taken into account in its design so that the manual operation of the
recloser by means of an isolating rod as per described ahead is not obstructed.
The recloser shall have the following electrical characteristics:
• Rated operating voltages: 11.95 kV and 13.8 kV (rms values);

• Maximum operating voltage: 15 kV (rms value);
• Maximum design voltage: 15.5 kV (rms value);
• Rated lightning impulse withstand voltage, for 1.2×50-µs standard wave: 110 kV (peak);
• Rated power frequency withstand voltage:
- dry, 1 minute: 34 kV (rms value);
- wet, 10 seconds: 34 kV (rms value).

• Rated minimum continuous current: 280 A (rms value);
• Rated minimum symmetrical interrupting current: 8 kA (rms value);
• Maximum interrupting time: 65 ms.
The electric arc interrupting medium shall be vacuum or sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6). In case
of recloser with SF6 gas, including as a part of the insulation, the recloser shall be supplied filled
with such a gas ready for operation. If SF6 gas is the arc quenching medium, there shall be full
insulation with open contacts for maximum operating voltage in case of total loss of positive
pressure within the extinguishing chamber. SF6 gas characteristics shall comply with Technical
Standard IEC 376. Other technologies proven to be efficient for insulation or electric arc
quenching purposes may also be accepted, under CPFL’s criterion.
In recloser with gas, or even the air, whose constructive design may cause sudden pressure
increase with risk of explosion, be it under normal operation or following a failure to extinguish
the arc, an efficient pressure relief system shall exist as a safety requirement to deal with
overpressures of such a nature. Moreover, it will not be accepted recloser with mineral oil,


neither for arc quenching nor as insulation purposes.
The recloser shall always be capable to perform automatic or manual opening after a closing
operation. It shall also be possible at least the independent blocking, suitably signalized, of the
functions for automatic reclosing, earth protection, and sensitive earth protection, with the
recloser either open or closed.
The recloser shall also be so designed as to have an operating mechanism with eye-tipped
external levers, easily operated by means of an isolated rod from the ground that allow: blocking
reclosing; deactivate and activate earth and sensitive earth protections; open and close the
recloser. Alternatively, the recloser may have switches within its protection and control cabinet
that perform such actions. Upward position of these levers or switches shall indicate normal
service condition (i.e., no reclosing blocking, with active protections, and equipment closed);
downward position of the lever for external recloser opening shall block any reclosing attempt.
Independently on these provisions, the manual opening of the recloser using an isolating rod to
operate an eye-tipped external lever shall always be possible, whatever situation.
For recloser with closing coil or solenoid, this device shall be adequate to indistinctly operate
under any of the two rated operating voltages (that is, 11.95 kV and 13.8 kV), including within all
the range of variations for these voltage service values which, overlapped, go from 10.5 kV to
14.4 kV. This coil shall suitably protected with respect to temperature rise of its windings.
Provided that the above-mentioned operative requirements be fulfilled, it is acceptable recloser
that makes use of other technologies for closing (and even opening) operation, once proven
their efficiency.
The Supplier shall guarantee the values informed in the Technical Bid for interrupting, opening,
arcing, and closing times.
The minimum load current through the recloser for its suitable operation shall not be greater
than 5 A. The Technical Bid shall declare the maximum number of operations of the recloser for
its maintenance for the following multiples of the rated current: 5; 10; 15; 20. The recloser
design shall allow easy execution of maintenance and replacement services of
electromechanical and electronic pieces and components.
The tank or metallic container that makes up the recloser external frame shall be provided with
an earth connector, conveniently placed and adequate for cables in the range from 10 to 33.6
mm2. It shall also have a perfect electrical contact between the recloser and its fixing support to
guarantee a solid earthing. These requirements apply also to the voltage transformer, according
to the pertinent Technical Standards (see sub-item “c” ahead). As an information, the pole will
be provided with a set of distribution-type 12-kV rated operating voltage lightning arresters,
connected to earth by means of a 35-mm2 section copper cable, fixed externally onto the pole.
The recloser shall be provided with the means to make possible its filling, drainage, and the SF6
sampling, if the case, as well as have a valve to couple a monometer.
The recloser and its protection and control cabinet shall have means for being lifted and moved,
such as hanging eyes or hooks. All the surface discontinuities such as access devices, vents,
doors, windows, etc. shall be protected against weather effects and entering of insects.


The recloser shall have 2 operations counters, one to record the total operations and the other
to record the operations due to earth faults (including sensitive-earth faults). The counters shall
be made up of resistant material and have the same life expectancy of that of the recloser. If the
counters are placed externally, it shall be possible to see their readings from the ground, with
naked eye, being the equipment in operative position on the pole. Each counter shall have at
least three-digit numbers, of black colour against a white background, with height of 9 mm and
width of 6 mm. If the counters are placed within the protection and control cabinet, it shall be
possible to read at least the total operations counter without the aid of any device.
It shall be possible to indicate the recloser operative position by means of a window bearing the
word ABERTO (i.e., OPEN), with white letters against a green background, and the word
FECHADO (i.e., CLOSED), with white letters against a red background, clearly visible from the
ground with naked eyes. The letters shall have a minimum height of 15 mm and a minimum
width of 6 mm. These words may be shortened to a minimum of 4 letters (ABER and FECH).
The recloser line terminals shall be of the NEMA 2N (2 bores) standard, tin finished, for
aluminum or bronze terminal connectors. It shall be furnished with each terminal, properly tin
coated too, the respective hex-headed bolts and hex nuts in silicon bronze (M12×1.75×45-mm
thread), besides 2 washers in silicon bronze plus 2 pressure washers in phosphor bronze.
b) Control and Protection System Characteristics

The control systems and devices for reclosing, reset, and phases, earth and sensitive-earth
overcurrent sensors shall be totally electronic, chosen and/or protected in order to withstand the
overvoltages resultant from lightning strokes and the equipment operations, as well as the
temperature within the cabinet where they will be installed (which may reach +60 °C). Power
supply for these electronic circuits may depend on rechargeable batteries provided that they
have a useful life for 9,500 operations or 10 years before replacement. This power supply shall
be independent from the external low-voltage secondary distribution grid; however, a voltage
transformer (VT) may be used, including for the batteries charger.
These electronic systems shall be placed within a cubicle, box, cabinet or panel for recloser
protection and control, and shall be adequately designed and programmable to allow:
• Selection of the number of operations under the “fast” curve, independent for the phases,
earth, and sensitive-earth protection trippings;
• Selection of the number of operations under the “delayed” curve, independent for the
phases, earth, and sensitive-earth protection trippings;
• Selection of the characteristic time curves, both for phases and earth protection trippings
(including sensitive earth);
• Selection of reclosing time;
• Selection of reset time;
• Selection of tripping currents for phases, earth, and sensitive-earth protections;
• Operation of recloser by means of a remote command via cable (see ahead);
• Blocking of remote command through a switching device with inscripted words LOCAL
(LOCAL) and REMOTO (REMOTE), or other indication of easy understanding;
• Activation and deactivation of earth and sensitive earth protections by means of a switching


device;
• Indication of the recloser status, ABERTO (OPEN) and FECHADO (CLOSED), by means of
telesignalling through cable: make available free auxiliary contacts;
The protection and control cabinet shall be adequate for outdoor installation onto the pole,
sufficiently rigid, sealed, ventilated and appropriate to withstand the normal service conditions,
having its own fixing support. To ease access, the cabinet shall be installed below the recloser
with its top no less than 1.5 m and no more than 2.5 m apart (vertical projection). The cabinet
shall have an external earth connector, as well as it shall be guaranteed for such purpose its
perfect electric contact with the fixing support. The cabinet shall be installed to the pole at the
opposite side with respect to the recloser.
The cables needed to interconnect the cabinet to the recloser shall be suitably designed,
protected against weathering and shielded against interferences, mainly coming from
electromagnetic surges and transients, in order to avoid undesired recloser operation or
malfunction of its protection and control systems.
It shall be possible to select the recloser minimum tripping value for phase sensors amidst at
least 5 different current magnitudes conveniently distributed, beginning from a minimum up to
280 A. Tolerance for actuation shall be ±10 % of informed values.
It shall be possible to select the recloser minimum tripping value for the earth sensor amidst at
least 5 different current magnitudes conveniently distributed, starting from 5 A. Tolerance for
actuation shall be ±10 % of informed values.
Maximum number of openings to recloser operation blocking: 4.
It shall be possible to select the reclosing time among the following values: 0.75; 1.0; 2.0; 3.0;
5.0; 10; 15; and 20 seconds. These figures may vary up to a maximum of ±50 %. The setting of
reclosing times shall be independent from each other.
It shall be possible to select the reset time among 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 seconds. The figures
may vary up to a maximum of ± 50 %.
The reset mechanism shall operate automatically. Hence, if the defect that caused recloser
operation disappears before the end of the adjusted operating sequence, the recloser shall
close or remain closed and, after reset time elapses, the control shall go back to its start
position and stay ready for a new operating sequence.
The device for phase, earth, and sensitive-earth overcurrent protection of the recloser shall
have a time-delay protection scheme constituted by “time × current” curves, with at least 2 “fast”
curves and 3 “delayed” curves, complying as much as possible with Technical Standard IEC
255-4. Time curves shall be of “time dependent” type and their graphs shall indicate the total
time for the overcurrent extinction by the recloser (clearing time, as defined by Technical
Standard ANSI C37.60). For earth and sensitive-earth protections, part of the curves may be of
the “definite time” type, provided that the “time dependent” part begins at most at 20 A for earth
protection and at 4 A for sensitive-earth protection.


The recloser shall have a restriction device for inrush currents to inhibit its sensitivity to transient
currents. It shall be possible to adjust such a restriction for up to 12 times the rated phase
tripping current, chosen for a determined application, during 0.1 of a second.
It shall be possible the external programming of the recloser protection functions (or others
eventually supplied) by means of an applications software. For that, the protection and control
cabinet shall be frontally provided with a 9-pin RS 232 serial port, to make possible a
communications interface with a PC type IBM compatible portable microcomputer (laptop or
notebook), using a Microsoft Windows 98 operation system, or later. The software shall make
part of the supply and shall allow adjustments, setting of parameters, setting-up, identification,
resetting, reading of set values, current values, memorized failure data, etc. All the records and
readings shall allow capture by the microcomputer for subsequent data treatment and/or report
printing.
The supply shall include together with each cabinet a serial communications cable (between the
microcomputer and the recloser cabinet). In case of different serial port standards, the specific
converter shall be supplied, including the connecting cable with the microcomputer. Yet, should
the protection and control system have an integrated communications protocol, it shall be the
DNP 3.00 standard.
c) Voltage Transformer
Should the recloser for its operation be provided with a voltage transformer (VT) for power
supply of the above specified electronic systems, for battery charging, and for opening and
closing operations, such a voltage transformer shall be an integrated part of the supply and

All the connections and wiring between the recloser and the voltage transformer are of the
manufacturer’s responsibility and shall comply with the requirements adequate for operation
throughout the life expectancy (outdoor installation, electromagnetic interference, easy
assemblage and maintenance, safety, etc.). All the other VT characteristics shall be in
accordance with Technical Standard ABNT NBR 6855. Should the VT be for outdoor
installation, it shall stay on the same recloser structure, subject to the same service conditions.
It is also applicable to the VT what is required in Sub-Item 3.10 - Inspection and Testing of
this Technical Specification.
