cycles, and the total number of auto-recloser blockings. As seen on the picture above; the left column gives
the explanations of the monitors to their right (e.g.
Total cycle ), the middle column comprises of the 5-digit
monitors, and the column at the far right contains the buttons to reset each of the monitors.

Total Cycles: Total ARCL cycles numerator sums and displays the values of 1
st
to 4
th
cycles.

Individual Cycle Numerators (1
st
, 2
nd
, 3
rd
and 4
th
Cycles): These numerators watch and display the
number of each successful cycle.

ARCL Block: Auto-recloser is subject to be blocking under some predefined conditions, e.g., permanent
failures, user intervention, CB charging spring failure, CB pole failure and CB trip / closing time errors.
After each of the auto-recloser blockings, the
ARCL Block numerator records it onto its history to
create a cumulative statistic.
