These instructions cover protection and communication setup of an IntelliRupter
PulseCloser Fault Interrupter. IntelliRupter fault interrupters may be used in standalone
radial-protection applications, for source-transfer operations, for loop restoration, or as
part of an IntelliTeam SG Automatic Restoration System.
The Standard Control Group can operate stand-alone (non-communicating) appli-
cations, SCADA communications, and automatic loop restoration. It also includes
IntelliTeam SG Bronze-Level Software for applications with two sources, including auto-
matic source transfer. Optional IntelliTeam SG Silver-Level Software is used for basic
closed-loop applications, and IntelliTeam SG Gold-Level Software is for applications
with three or more sources.
The automatic loop-restoration system is non-communicating and uses normally closed
IntelliRupter fault interrupters or conventional reclosers with a normally open IntelliRupter
fault interrupter switching point. The feeders on either side of the switching point are
fed from different sources. When a fault occurs on either feeder, the normally closed
IntelliRupter fault interrupters (or reclosers) in that feeder open and then use PulseClosing®
Technology (or reclose) sequentially to sectionalize and isolate the fault. Service is auto-
matically restored to unfaulted line segments by closing the IntelliRupter fault interrupter
at the normally open switching point.
The automatic source-transfer system uses two IntelliRupter fault interrupters
with peer-to-peer communication to ensure a high degree of critical-load continuity by
minimizing interruptions resulting from the loss of one source.
The IntelliTeam SG system monitors real-time load, and it uses peer-to-peer
communication to determine fault location and alternate source-restoration capa-
bility. After protection operations isolate the fault, the IntelliTeam SG system
automatically restores service to as many unfaulted line segments as the alternate source
has reserve capacity to supply. An IntelliTeam SG system with a Gold license can be
easily expanded to automate large distribution regions by using multiple alternate sources.
The Standard Control Group with Battery Backup is the same software in the
Standard Control Group and includes a battery that can operate for a minimum of four
hours after loss of ac-line voltage on both sides of the IntelliRupter fault interrupter to
provide extended dead-line switching.
The Universal Control Group includes IntelliTeam SG Automatic Restoration Software
with a Gold license and IntelliTeam® Designer software. This group will operate all fea-
tures of the IntelliTeam SG system with three or more sources, and it can be configured
to operate in an IntelliTeam® II Automatic Restoration System.
IntelliRupter fault interrupters may be configured before installation or on site with
a secure Wi-Fi communication link to a laptop computer running IntelliLink® Setup
Software. User-selectable setup parameters include device name and location, phase
identifications, terminal designations, current-flow directions, voltage-reporting units,
and a time-synchronization source.
