 DANGER

The interrupters, terminal pads, and 

disconnect blades of disconnect style models

may be energized from either side of the 

IntelliRupter fault interrupter and with the 

interrupters in any position. Before inspecting, 

servicing, or repairing an IntelliRupter fault interrupter 
or working on the conductors on either side of it, test 
for voltage using proper high-voltage test equipment. 
Install suitable grounding equipment. 

Failure to 

observe these precautions can result in serious

personal injury or death.

Substation Power and Communication

External Power Supply

—An external power supply is 

an option used when system voltage is below 7.5 kV 60Hz, 
9 kV 50Hz, or with a pedestal-mounted IntelliRupter fault 
Interrupter in a substation. It enables the use of preferred 
and alternate control power sources, and can be installed 
in combination with integral power modules. Figure 20 
shows the input terminal assignment. For two source 
applications, the 

Preferred

 input provides power to the 

IntelliRupter fault interrupter when voltage is present, 
and the 

Alternate

 input takes over when 

Preferred 

input 

voltage is lost. Either input may be used for a single-source 
ac application. The voltage ranges for each input are:

Preferred Input

: 100 to 259 Vac, 50/60 Hz

Alternate Input

: 100 to 259 Vac, 50/60 Hz, 20 to 60 Vdc, 

or 100 to 360 Vdc.

When operating in the 100- to 360-Vdc range, a minimum 

of 100 Vdc is required to power the IntelliRupter fault inter-
rupter from a cold start. When powered the IntelliRupter 
fault interrupter remains operational until the 

Alternate

input voltage drops to 70 Vdc.

IntelliRupter fault interrupter voltage sensors provide 

accurate sensing at voltages as low as 4.13 kV, so using the 
external power supply, instead of integral power modules, 
expands the IntelliRupter fault interrupter system voltage 
range down to this level.

A line person can easily remove the external power 

supply with gloved hands because no tools are required to 
release the chassis from its mounting plate. See Figure 22. 
Also see S&C Instruction Sheet 766-512, ED-850, and 
ED-855 for more details.

Fiber-Optic Connection

—The communication 

module can be furnished with a factory installed single-
mode or multi-mode fiber-optic modem. A fiber-optic 
cable connects the faceplate of the communication 
module to the user interface box, where the IntelliRupter 
fault interrupter is connected to the fiber-optic network. 
See Figure 21.

An IntelliRupter fault interrupter can be easily con-

verted from radio communication to fiber-optic commu-
nication by changing the communication module.
