Operation

The recloser receives the 
necessary signal to open and  
close from the control circuitry.  
For specific information 
concerning the operation of 
the control and how to change 
settings, please refer the 
appropriate SEL

®

 control manual.

When 

using standard SEL

®

 settings files, 

the CT ratio will already be preset 
to 1000:1 and the voltage sensors 
will come pre-calibrated (used 
on the 651Rx2 only). If standard 
settings files are not used, the 
CT input in the SEL

®

 control will 

need to be adjusted to 1000:1. All 
voltage sensors require an 8VAC 
LEA input and are pre-calibrated 
to a ratio of 10kV on the line to 
1VAC into the SEL

®

 control.

For specific 

information on how to adjust 
settings and curves, please refer 
to the appropriate SEL

®

 control 

manual. Note that certain SEL

®

 

controls limit the number of 
reclose sequences when AC  
or battery is not present.  
Please consult Schweitzer 
Engineering Laboratories.

the Power Module Box Installation 
and Operation Instructions. 

Maintenance

CAUTION:

  The complete recloser system, including control, requires routine inspection 

and maintenance if damage is found to ensure proper operation. If it is not maintained, 
it may fail to operate properly. Improper operation may cause equipment damage and 
possible personal injury.

The Elastimold

®

 MVR is designed to be maintenance free under normal operating 

conditions, and the EPDM/silicone insulation is not prone to the cracking or chipping  
that sometimes occurs with porcelain or epoxy insulators. However, should damage  
occur as a result of an external event, in most cases it is possible to replace the 
damaged components due to the modular design of the recloser. Both the top and  
bottom silicone shed, as well as the side terminal, can be removed and replaced if 
damaged by external arcing, a knife cut, etc. If damage extends to the main body  
of the pole, the pole in each phase can be replaced individually. If damage occurs,  
please contact Thomas & Betts customer service. If it becomes necessary to clean  
the main body or sheds, recommended cleaning agents are soap and warm water  
or isopropyl alcohol.

Top Shed

Bottom Shed

Side Terminal

CAUTION:

  All MVRs are sealed and 

leak tested prior to shipment to prevent 
moisture ingress. Do not open the lower 
cover as it is possible that the MVR will 
not reseal when the cover is closed. 
While the diaphragm will keep moisture 
from ever entering the high-voltage 
chamber, excessive moisture ingress 
could cause damage to the magnetic 
actuator mechanism and misoperation.      

CAUTION:

  Do not remove and replace 

the side terminal in the field. The MVR 
incorporates a unique diaphragm 
technology that fully encapsulates the 
high-voltage chamber in the MVR. The 
side terminal must be vented during 
installation and then sealed to prevent 
pressure build-up against the diaphragm 
during the installation process. Improper 
installation may cause equipment 
damage and possible personal injury.
