Automatic reclosing function (AR)

• Number of AR attempts
• AR programs
• Open times for different AR attempts
$5RSHUDWLRQ
The mode of operation can be selected by setting the parameter Operation to ON, OFF
or Stand-by. ON activates automatic reclosing. OFF deactivates the auto-recloser.
Stand-by enables On and Off operation via input signal pulses.

The automatic operation of the auto-reclosing function is controlled by the parameter
2SHUDWLRQ
and the input signals as described above. When it is on, the AR01-SETON
output is high (active). See Function block diagrams.
The auto-reclosing function is activated at a protection trip by the AR01-START input
signal. At repeated trips, this signal is activated again to make the reclosing program
continue.
There are a number of conditions for the start to be accepted and a new cycle started.
After these checks, the start signal is latched in and the
6WDUWHG
state signal is activated.
It can be interrupted by certain events.

The purpose of this function is to adapt the length of the AR Open time to the possibility
of non-simultaneous tripping at the two line ends. If a permissive communication
scheme is used and the permissive communication channel (for example, PLC, power-
line carrier) is out of service at the fault, there is a risk of sequential non-simultaneous
tripping. To ensure a sufficient line dead time, the AR open time is extended by 0.4 s.
The input signal AR01-PLCLOST is checked at tripping. See Function block diagrams.
Select this function (or not) by setting the Extended t1 parameter to On (or Off).

During normal circumstances, the trip command resets quickly due to fault clearing.
The user can set a maximum trip pulse duration by tTrip. At a longer trip signal, the AR
open dead time is extended by Extend_t1. If the Extended t1 = Off, a long trip signal
interrupts the reclosing sequence in the same way as AR01-INHIBIT.

The reclosing program can be performed with up to maximum four reclosing attempts
(shots), selectable with the NoOfReclosing parameter.
