which are transient by nature. When the power line is switched off by the operation
of line protection and line breakers, the arc de-ionizes and recovers its ability to
withstand voltage at a somewhat variable rate. Thus, a certain dead time with a de-
energized line is necessary. Line service can then be resumed by automatic
reclosing of the line breakers. The dead time selected should be long enough to
ensure a high probability of arc de-ionization and successful reclosing.
For individual line breakers, auto reclosing equipment, the required circuit breaker
dead time is used to determine the “dead time” setting value. When simultaneous
tripping and reclosing at the two line ends occurs, line dead time is approximately
equal to the auto recloser “dead time”. If the auto reclosing dead time and line
“dead time” differ then, the line will be energized until the breakers at both ends
have opened.

Figure 70:
Single-shot automatic reclosing at a permanent fault
Automatic reclosing can be performed with or without the use of synchrocheck.
For the individual line breakers and auto reclosing equipment, the auto reclosing
dead time expression is used. This is the dead time setting for the auto recloser.
During simultaneous tripping and reclosing at the two line ends, auto reclosing
dead time is approximately equal to the line dead time. Otherwise these two times
may differ as one line end might have a slower trip than the other end which means
that the line will not be dead until both ends have opened.
