5. Circuit breaker is closed and since fault cleared by the Shot1 given non-energized time no pick-
ups are detected Close command is drop off after the breaker closed indication is received and
the autorecloser starts to calculate Reclaim time for Shot1.
6. Reclaim Time for Shot1 is exceeded and the reclosing cycle is ended. AR running, Shot1
Running and REQ2 Running signals are reset and Reclaim Time for the Autorecloser application
starts. Difference in between of the autoreclosing and shot speci c reclaim times is that if fault
is returning in shot speci c reclaim time autorecloser jumps to next shot. If a fault return after
successful cycle and Autoreclosing reclaim time is running recloser will go directly to nal trip
state and lock-out state. This behavior can be controlled with settings of the recloser. Both of
these reclaim times can be set to 0 when they are not needed. Recloser function will skip all
timers set to 0. Also is possible to set the AR Reclaim not to be used after successful reclosing
cycle.
7. Autoreclosing Reclaim Time is exceeded and Autorecloser is set to Ready state waiting for next
request.
Auto-reclosing sequence from Start with two shot failure
For this overcurrent autoreclosing scheme was set non directional overcurrent protection Start signal to
operate as REQ1 starter which was enabled to Shot1 and Shot2 with following settings. One rapid shot
followed by time delayed shot are set for this scheme. In this scheme the rst start time is set to longer
than in the unsuccessful reclose shots arcing time if the fault persists then the allowed towards fault
time is reduced.
Figure. 5.5.4. - 132. Settings for earth fault reclosing with two shots.
When Start signal is used for the autoreclosing the timings of the fault durations are taken care by the
autorecloser function and the starting / arcing times needs to be set accordingly. The main operating
time settings of the protection should be longer than the values set to the autorecloser in order the
state changes work properly for recloser.
