S&C’s
IntelliRupter ®
PulseCloser
eliminates the
need to close into
a fault to test the line.
Conventional reclosers stress the circuit with fault
current every time they reclose into a fault. The results:
Avoidable damage to the windings of upstream transformers,
conductor splices, terminators, and connectors . . . shortening
their lives. Plus voltage sags on adjacent, unfaulted feeders.
But S&C's IntelliRupter won't damage your system. Its
PulseClosing Technology™ performs a fast close-open operation
at just the right point on the voltage wave, putting a short, 5-ms
pulse of current on the line to test for the presence of faults.
