RL series load break switch/sectionaliser with ADVC controller
RL series load break switch/sectionaliser with ADVC controller
The U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser (ACR) is designed for smart grid integration, featuring loop automation and Automatic ChangeOver (ACO) to ensure continuous power supply and minimize outages. It can also function as a sectionaliser to improve feeder reliability by isolating faulty sections automatically.
The U&W-Series reclosers are cost-effective solutions with integrated Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) and communication ports, reducing installation and operating costs. They are compatible with Distribution System Automation (DSA) and SCADA systems, allowing remote control and monitoring, which enhances system integrity and customer satisfaction.
The U-Series circuit breaker, controlled by the ADVC Controller, features a stainless steel enclosure and uses vacuum interrupters in epoxy bushings. It requires an auxiliary voltage supply and offers options for mounting brackets and cable connectors. The ADVC provides protection, measurement, control, and communication functions.
The U-Series reclosers are available in 15 kV and 27 kV models, with a rated continuous current of 630 A and a fault make capacity of 12.5 kA. They are designed for a wide range of environmental conditions and have a mechanical operation life of 10,000 cycles.
Similar to the U-Series, the W-Series circuit breaker is controlled by the ADVC Controller and features a vacuum interrupter in an epoxy bushing. It is enclosed in a stainless steel tank and requires an auxiliary voltage supply. The ADVC interfaces with the switchgear for remote control and monitoring.
The W-Series reclosers have a rated maximum voltage of 24 kV and a continuous current of 400 A. They are designed for mechanical operations up to 10,000 cycles and can withstand various environmental conditions.
The ADVC Controller provides advanced protection, measurement, and communication features, enhancing the functionality of both U-Series and W-Series reclosers. It supports remote monitoring and control, contributing to efficient network management.
The document provides detailed technical specifications and features of the U&W-Series ADVC controller series, specifically the ADVC COMPACT and ADVC ULTRA models. These controllers are designed for outdoor pole-mounted operation, offering advanced protection, data logging, and communication capabilities.
The ADVC controllers are housed in stainless steel enclosures (304 for COMPACT and 316 for ULTRA) to minimize temperature rise and protect internal components. They incorporate functions of a multi-function protection relay, circuit breaker controller, metering unit, and remote terminal unit. The ULTRA model offers a wider operating temperature range with an optional battery heater.
The controllers feature a microprocessor-controlled power supply ensuring uninterrupted operation. They are designed for high efficiency, allowing a battery hold-up time of up to 44 hours. The architecture ensures circuit breaker operation is independent of high voltage supply.
The ADVC series supports various communication interfaces including RS232, RS485, Ethernet TCP/IP, and a V23 FSK modem. These interfaces facilitate integration with SCADA systems and support protocols like DNP3 and IEC 60870-5-101.
Two operator interfaces are available: setVUE and flexVUE. The setVUE interface offers a menu-driven system with a large LCD display, while the flexVUE interface provides customizable status lamps and quick action keys for frequently used operations.
WSOS version 5 is a software package for programming, monitoring, and controlling reclosers. It supports local and remote control, configuration of protection and communication parameters, and access to measurement data.
The ADVC controllers offer a range of protection features including inverse time curves, instantaneous protection, definite time protection, and sensitive earth fault protection. They support multiple protection groups and automatic protection group selection based on power flow direction.
Additional features include directional blocking, directional protection, and monitoring of sequence components. These features enhance the reliability and flexibility of the protection system.
This feature detects low-level phase-to-phase faults amidst high-level three-phase loads. It offers Inverse Time, Definite Time, and Instantaneous operation with a setting current range of 10 - 1260 A.
Allows a recloser to coordinate its trip sequence with another downstream recloser.
Trips the recloser when system frequency exceeds set thresholds (45 - 65 Hz). Frequency is calculated once per cycle over two cycles, with tripping occurring after 2 - 1000 cycles, and an accuracy of ± 0.05 Hz.
Operates within defined thresholds above and below specified voltage. Under voltage threshold: 50% - 88%, Over voltage threshold: 112% - 150%, with trip delay range of 0 - 60 seconds. Phase logic options include AND, OR, and AVERAGE.
True RMS voltage and current are measured, with optional external Capacitive Voltage Transformers (CVTs) for additional measurements. Real power is calculated with an accuracy of ± 5%.
The ADVC controller measures kW, kVA, kVAr, and power factor per phase, with historical measurements recorded over intervals of 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
Stores up to 30,000 events. Includes supply outage measurement and harmonic analysis (harmonics 2 to 16 and THD). Waveform capture is available with user-defined triggers.
Details on pole mounting, cable connection options, and optional accessories like surge arresters and CVTs are provided.
Specifications for U-Series and W-Series reclosers, including circuit breaker ratings, mounting arrangements, and accessory options. Special notes highlight potential additional costs and configuration details.
Includes model options (COMPACT, ULTRA), operator interfaces, ambient temperature ranges, auxiliary supply types, and standard protocols. Accessories and special notes are also detailed.
