Advanced Protection and Control

The Multilin R650 offers a complete range of standard and advanced protection elements with multiple stages and wide setting ranges. The recloser controller provides comprehensive directional and non-directional overcurrent protection, along with optional single phase tripping and reclosing to limit system impact and improve reliability. A synchronism check function ensures that the voltages are within safe limits before allowing manual closing and auto reclose operations. Additionally, voltage and frequency protection elements may be used to disconnect generation connected to the feeder. The R650 includes six voltage inputs to monitor voltages on both sides of the recloser thereby delivering a safer level of performance.

Driving Electronics Module

At the heart of the R650 design is the driving electronics module that accurately matches the requirements of the recloser device with the controller outputs. This module ensures minimum delay between the R650 output signals and the breaker operation. Through intelligent design, this reliable performance is achieved utilizing minimal power, providing operators with true multiple shot capability.

The driving electronics module design has been extensively tested and validated to ensure optimum performance and facilitate high-speed, multi-shot capability. Test results indicate that the module enables the trip capacitors to maintain sufficient charge voltage to perform 4 cycles of close and trip fast.
