Recloser Controls and Software

There are two basic types of recloser control schemes: an integral hydraulic control or an electronic control located in a separate cabinet. Hydraulic recloser control is used in most single-phase reclosers and in three-phase recloser types 6H and V6H and is built as an integral part of the recloser. Kyle electronic recloser controls are used in most three-phase reclosers and in the single-phase recloser types VXE and NOVA¹. Compared with the hydraulic control, they are more flexible, more easily customized and programmed, and many have advanced protection, metering, and automation functionality.
