Key benefits

Key benefits underscore the product’s reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, delivering tangible value for power distribution and industrial applications.

• Increased reliability - the highest creep distance among the recloser poles on the market ensures long-term performance in any environment
• Unparalleled performance - the HCEP (Hydrophobic Cycloaliphatic Epoxy) material of the poles provides the best insulation for outdoor use, shedding water and debris, thus reducing the probability of flashovers even in heavily polluted areas
• Simple, fast and safe maintenance as all the electronics are in the low-voltage range, eliminating the need for a bucket truck to isolate potentials to service electronics
• Easy integration with ABB Relion® protection RER615 2.0, capable of programming grid applications. Optionally available with SEL 751 IED with basic Feeder protection functionalities.
• Solid dielectric recloser: ABB vacuum interrupters and sensors embedded in each recloser pole
