Abstract: Coordination between reclosing devices (recloser) and fuse has been traditionally done in radial power distribution systems. With increasing penetration of distributed generation, the system ...

A squirrel got into PUD equipment located in a small switching station in Edmonds around 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 20, “and caused a fire on one of our reclosers,” PUD spokesperson Aaron Swaney said.

Single-phase reclosers and sectionalizers must also be applied with similar consideration. Traditionally, if high load levels will be interrupted, three-phase circuit reclosers with gang-operated ...

Ongoing upgrades include: Fault indicators to help crews pinpoint issues quickly Bird diverters and drone inspections to reduce line interference Four new reclosers that split long circuits, limiting ...

I see it all the time, where, for example, the distribution group is out getting funding to deploy a whole bunch of reclosers, cap [capacitor] banks, voltage regulators, and things like that ...
