19. THREE PHASE (Gang Operated)

20. Three-Phase TRIPLE/SINGLE

21. Mode A: Three phase trip, three phase lockout Mode B: Single phase trip, three phase lockout Mode C: Single phase trip, single phase lockout Triple-Single

22. RECLOSER DIELECTRIC INSULATION Oil Vs Air Vs Solid Vs SF6

23. Oil Dielectric

24. WE/VWE Closing Coil Recloser requires voltage from source side for closing Closing coil connected between bushings 3 & 5 High voltage closing vs low voltage closing

25. Air Dielectric

26. Solid Dielectric

27. SF6 Dielectric

28. Selection Factors System Voltage Maximum Fault Current Maximum Load Current Minimum Fault Current Single Phase or Three Phase

37. Operation In single/single mode, pulling down one yellow handle trips and locks out just that unit. To close, push yellow handle up then hit close button in control. Non-reclosing will cause just a faulted phase(s) to lockout. HLT causes all phases to lockout if there is a fault.

38. Installation Control runs off AC which needs to be brought into the F6 control. Control has a 24V battery for backup. Ground the F6 control cabinet.

39. If Recloser Fails to Respond Check “ALARM” functionality for problem information Inspect for closing voltage Check control cable connections Verify yellow handle is up
