2 Introduction
The N-Series remotely controlled and monitored automatic circuit recloser consists
of an N-Series automatic circuit recloser (ACR) combined with an Advanced
Controller (ADVC).
The N-Series ACR
consists of vacuum interrupters in a sealed, stainless steel tank
the tank is flled with sulphur hexafouride (SF6) gas
a pressure transducer is used to monitor gas pressure in the tank
surge arresters can be directly ftted to the ACR and should be ftted at
installation
voltages are measured on each of the 6 bushings
current is measured on each phase
the ACR itself retains information such as serial number, switchgear type,
operations and contact wear, independently of the ADVC
the ACR can be tripped from the ground by a hookstick and then be locked out
by opening the isolating switches located on the ADVC.
a clearly visible, external pointer shows whether the ACR is tripped or closed.
The ACR feld-ftting kit includes a polymeric bushing boot and predetermined length
of 120 mm

,185 mm
2
, or 240 mm
2
aluminium, insulated water-tight cable tail rated at
250A, 400A, 630A for each of the six bushings.
the ACR is connected to the Advanced Controller (ADVC) via a control cable
through the base of the ADVC
the ACR can be connected into an insulated or bare conductor system.
The ADVC Controller reads and displays the information which is stored in the ACR
and provides protection and communication properties for the ACR. The ADVC
Controller
consists of:
an electronic switchgear controller that monitors the ACR, and provides
communication and protection functions. (CAPE),
an operator interface mounted on the CAPE,
a power supply which also supplies power for customer equipment,
an accessories and customer equipment compartment,
is powered by an auxiliary voltage supply of 110, 220, or 240 volts AC,
is connected to the ACR via a detachable control cable.
The customer compartment provides ample room for equipment. Standard
communications cables can be used for connection to the communications ports on
the ADVC and power is readily accessible from the programmable power terminal
block. (Please refer to 4 Communications and Accessories Installation (page
4-1).)

TERMINOLOGY
The N-Series recloser bushings are identifed as U1, V1, and W1 on one side,
usually the source side, and U2, V2, and W2 on the other, usually the load side.
(Source and load side are confgurable) See Figure 3 : ACR Bushings (page 3)

CONTENTS OF CRATE
Each crate includes:
ACR,
Pole mounting bracket with clamps if ordered. If a substation mounting bracket
was ordered it will be attached to the outside of the crate,
Six bushing boots with clamping rings attached,
Six tubes of electrical silicone grease to fll the bushing boots (seven tubes are
supplied with 38kV reclosers),
One clamping ring spanner to ft boots to the bushings,
caulking gun,
The appropriate mounting kit,
ADVC Cubicle (which will normally contain two batteries unless arrangements
have been made to ship batteries separately),
Control cable,
Six cable tails (where supplied by the manufacturer) pre-terminated with either a
threaded lug to screw into the bushings directly or with a fat lug for bolting to a
palm already ftted onto the bushings.
On receipt, the contents should be checked for shipping damage and the
manufacturer informed immediately if any is found.
UNPACKING PROCEDURE
Tools required:
Wrecking bar to remove nails,
Four D shackles, two slings and crane with a safe working load of 300kg to lift
the ACR,
Screw Driver or Battery Drill with 8mm socket,
16mm Spanner or Socket.
Procedure:
1: Remove the front (marked ADVC) and back panels of the crate.
2: Remove the top of the crate. Inside the top of the crate you will fnd a timber
brace which is ftted around and between the recloser bushings and attached to
the side walls of the crate. The brace supports the bushing boots, control cable,
accessories kit, and mounting bracket if supplied.
3: Cut each strapping holding the bushing boots, the accessories kit, and the
control cable in position. Remove the bushing boots and control cable and put
them in a clean, dry place.
4: Unscrew the four wood screws which attach the mounting bracket (if present) to
the top timber brace and lift the mounting bracket out of the crate.
5: Unscrew the four wood screws which attach the top timber brace to the side
walls of the crate and remove the brace.
6: Remove the cable tails which are bent over the top of the ADVC.
7: Fit D-shackles to the lifting points on the circuit breaker and lift it out of the crate
and on to the ground using the crane.
8: Remove the two bolts securing the ADVC to its top and bottom timber braces
and lift the unit from the crate.
Ensure that the ADVC is stored indoors until
installation on site. If storage outdoors is
unavoidable, ensure that the ADVC is kept
in an upright position.
Take great care not to hit the recloser
bushings with the bracket or to drop the
bracket, which weighs nearly 30kg (66lb),
back into the crate
The control cubicle weighs
approximately 40 kg (88lb).

N-Series Recloser
CONTROL CABLE CONNECTION
When installing or testing the ACR it is necessary to connect and disconnect the
control cable either from the ACR, the ADVC or both. The control cable is plugged
into the base of the ACR and the other end into the ADVC at the bottom, right-most
socket on the Control and Protection Enclosure (CAPE).
To do this successfully requires the correct technique:
Power down the control cubicle by switching off all MCBs. This should be done
whenever connecting or disconnecting the control cable,
To connect: hold the plug by the long sides, check orientation, gently locate it on
the socket and push frmly into place. Check it has locked by wriggling the plug. If
the plug cannot be pushed on with moderate force then it has not been located
properly. Heavy force is never required.
To disconnect:
Hold the plug by the short sides and grip hard to release the clips inside the plug 1:
(not visible).
Wriggle the plug to allow the clips to release. 2:
3: Then pull the plug out.
TESTING & CONFIGURING
These tests can be carried out on site or in the workshop as preferred.
Unpack the crate as above and put the HV cables, boots and the control cable in a
clean safe place where they will not be damaged or soiled. Make a temporary earth
connection between the ADVC and the ACR. 1mm
2
copper wire is adequate for this
purpose.
Raise the ACR using a crane or forklift in order to safely gain access to the bottom of
the N-Series ACR. Figure 4 : (page 3-2)
Unbolt the cover plate over the switch cable entry module (SCEM) compartment on
the bottom of the ACR and connect the ACR end of the control cable to the SCEM.
Lower the ACR on to props so that the control cable is not damaged by being caught
between the base of the ACR and the foor.
Then connect the ADVC end of the cable to the socket at the lower right-hand corner
of the CAPE located inside the ADVC cubicle. See Site Procedure - Step 15 (page

It may be desirable at this time to ft the cable tails and surge arresters to the ACR.
See Figure 5 : Cable Tail Installation (page 3-7).
TRANSPORT TO SITE
If the unpacking and testing was carried out in the workshop then the ACR and ADVC
must be transported safely to site. It is important the following steps are carried out:
Turn off all ADVC circuit breakers and disconnect all auxiliary power supplies.
Disconnect the control cable from both ACR and ADVC and replace the cover
plate on the bottom of the ACR.
Transport the ACR, ADVC and all parts in a safe and secure manner to site.
SITE INSTALLATION
If you are replacing a pole-top control cubicle (PTCC) or an original ADVC Controller
(Ver 43 or earlier) with an ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above), the following should be
considered:
The ADVC Controllers have different mounting points to the PTCC
1
.
The connection to the auxiliary supply enters the cubicle at a different point.
The earth stud is in a different position.
Accessory cables may need extending.
Unlike the PTCC which required an auxiliary power supply rating of 50VA, the
ADVC Controller requires 100VA.
If the auxiliary supply is provided by an external VT connected through the ACR,
there are limitations to the supply ratings of equipment powered by the radio
power supply. For an external VT, the maximum continuous current drawn from
the radio supply should be limited to 0.5 amps.
The ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above) door is held open by a door stay mechanism
which prevent door swinging or blowing shut. To disengage the door stay follow the
directions on the operator sheet located on the inside of the door.
Tools Required
Torque wrench and metric socket set, normal engineers tools.
24mm Open ended drive to ft the torque wrench (commonly known as a "Claw
Foot"). This is only required with 630A cable tails which screw directly into the
bushings and are tightened by a 24mm lock-nut.
Standard 300gm cartridge applicator, (Caulking Gun).
Bushing boot clamping spanner, (supplied by the manufacturer).
Tools to prepare pole as required.
Crane or other lift for ACR and ADVC, four D shackles and slings. A 1m spreader
bar is also useful, if the surge arresters are to be ftted onto the ACR tank, to
keep the slings away from the surge arresters when lifting.
Parts Required (Not supplied by the manufacturer)
Two 20mm galvanised or stainless steel bolts with washers and nuts etc. to bolt
the ACR mounting bracket to power pole. See Figure 7 : ACR Mounting and
Dimensions (page 3-9). If the optional pole clamps have been purchased this is
not required.
1 An accessory mounting bracket can be purchased to allow the use of the same mounting holes as were
used with the manufacturers PTCC. (Part No. 99800125)
Connecting the batteries with reverse
polarity will cause damage to the
electronic systems.
An application note detailing workshop and
feld test procedures is available. Contact
your agent or distributor.

Site Procedure
To erect and test the ACR and ADVC, carry out the following steps. Mounting details
are given in Figure 7 : (page 3-9).
Transport to site and carry out testing prior to erection as required. 1:
Connect cable tails and surge arresters before raising the ACR. See 2: Cable Tail
Connections (page 3-6) and Surge Arrester Mounting and Terminating (page
3-7)
Ensure that the pole is of suffcient strength to support the ACR. A structural 3:
engineer may be needed to calculate the stresses involved.
Securely mount the ACR mounting bracket on the power pole. 4:
Lift the ACR into position and lower it so that it sits on the mounting bracket. See 5:
Figure 7 : (page 3-9).
Bolt the ACR to the mounting bracket with the four 12mm nuts and bolts 6:
provided. Tighten to 50 Nm.
Complete the high voltage connections as shown in 7: Figure 10 : (page 3-12) or as
appropriate for the site installation.
Unbolt the SCEM compartment cover plate from the bottom of the ACR. Remove 8:
the blanking plate and ft the control cable into place. Connect the control cable
to plug P1 1 on the SCEM located inside the ACR.
See Control Cable Connection (page 3-2) for the correct way to connect/
disconnect the control cable.
9: Fit the retaining plate. 2
Run the control cable from the ACR down to the ADVC. 10:
If the ADVC is to be bolted to the pole, drill the top hole and ft the bolt. If it is to be 11:
strapped, feed the straps through the slots on the upper and lower mounting
brackets.

12: Lift the ADVC into position and bolt or strap it to the power pole.
Attach the control cable to the power pole maintaining maximum available 13:
separation from the main earth bond (at 200mm for wood and concrete poles
and 150mm for steel poles). Ensure that there is enough cable available at each
end to permit connection to the equipment.
Run the earth connections as described in 14: Earthing (Grounding) (page 3-8).
15: Connect the control cable from the ACR through the base of the ADVC 1
and then to the switchgear socket 2 on the CAPE.
For LV mains supply run auxiliary wiring as shown in 16: Figure 8 : (page 3-10).
Make the connection inside the ADVC as shown in Figure 6 : (page 3-8).
For LV supply from a dedicated transformer supplied by the utility, connect as 17:
shown in Figure 9 : (page 3-11).
For Integrated supply from an external transformer, connect as shown in 18: Figure
9 : (page 3-11). (See also Auxiliary Power from Integrated Transformer (page
3-8))
Power down the ADVC by switching off all MCBs. Note that this should be done 19:
whenever connecting or disconnecting the control cable from the ADVC.
20: Fit the batteries if they are not already in place.
If communications equipment is to be installed go to 21: 4 Communications and
Accessories Installation (page 4-1).
Otherwise go to 22: 5 Testing Your Installation (page 5-1).
When mounting the ADVC to a wooden
pole, use a spirit level to ensure correct
alignment, and minimise torque on the
mounting brackets.
Note that the ADVC mounts have key holes as
shown here, so that you can lift the ADVC on
to the mounting bolt and slide it into position.
It is vital that the earthing scheme is
carried out as described.

Cable Tail Connections
HV cables are supplied in one of two forms:
Fitted with a lug to be bolted to a factory ftted palm on the end of the bushing
(250, 400, or 800 A).
Fitted with a threaded termination that is screwed into the bushing (630A).
In both cases the procedure is to attach the cable to the bushing and then cover with
the bushing boot as detailed in the following sections.
The bushing is supplied clean and protected with a plastic cap. Ensure this is
undisturbed and the bushing body and tin plated central conductor or palm are
clean and undamaged. If the bushing has become soiled then clean with
methylated spirits. Sand or brush the aluminium palm to remove oxide.
Grease the bushing and the conductor with the silicone grease provided (part
number 990000350).
Unpack the cable tail and bushing boots. Check that the cable termination and
the boot are clean and undamaged. If necessary, clean with methylated spirits.
Push the boot down the cable to a distance approximately 1 metre from the
termination (place a small amount of grease on the closed end of the boot to
assist the boot to slide down the cable). Fill the bushing boot with the silicone
grease provided, starting at the closed end and fnishing approx 60mm from the
open end of the boot.
For 630 A cables terminated with a screw thread, ensure the thread, locknut and
bushing surfaces are clean and dry. Screw the tail into the bushing by turning the
whole cable tail. Tighten to 50 Nm using a spanner across the brass locknut
ftted. Take care to apply only twisting forces to the terminal (no shear force).
For 250, 400 and 630A cables terminated with a lug, smear with aluminium
jointing paste and bolt the lug to the bushing palm with the two M10 bolts
provided and tighten to 44 Nm using a 17mm socket.
For 800 A copper cables terminated with a lug, smear with aluminium jointing
paste and bolt the lug to the bushing palm. Because of the weight of the cable it
may be diffcult to ft the bolts through the lug and the bushing palm while holding
the cable. Therefore, using an M10 bolt from the packing crate, temporarily
insert the M10 bolt through the rear of one of the holes in the palm. Fit the
corresponding hole in the tail over the M10 bolt. Insert a cap head socket screw
into the other hole from the lug side and partially tighten it. Remove the M10
bolt. Insert the second cap head socket screw through the lug and tighten both
screws to 22 Nm using an 8 mm (5/16") hex key.
Grease the surface of the bushing, slide the bushing boot down over the bushing
while rotating the boot back and forth. Fix into place using the clamping ring and
spanner provided. The bottom of the boot should be frmly seated on the top of
the circuit breaker tank. During the clamping process silicone may bleed from
the top of the boot where the cable tail comes out. This is quite normal and can
be assisted by sliding a small screwdriver into the boot alongside the cable tail
but be very careful not to damage the bushing. Silicone grease will also come
out around the bottom of the bushing. This is quite normal. Wipe off excess
silicone grease with a clean cloth.
The insulated cables supplied by the manufacturer are rated for use at the following
voltages and ratings:
Up to 15kV 100mm minimum clearance phase to phase, or
phase to earth
>15kV to 38kV 150mm minimum clearance phase to phase, or
phase to earth
Hint - as you fll the boot with grease, keep
sliding it down the cable as this pushes the
grease up into the boot.
When making the 800 A cable tail line
connection, suitable steps must be taken
to prevent water ingress to the cable.

Surge Arrester Mounting and Terminating
The ACR is type tested for Impulse Withstand Voltages up to 170kV depending
on the model. See 11 Ratings and Specifcations (page 11-1)
When there is a possibility that lightning or network switching conditions may
produce peak voltages in excess of 70% of the Impulse Withstand Voltage, the
manufacturer recommends the use of suitably rated surge arresters connected
to each terminal of the ACR.
The arresters should be mounted on the mounting brackets supplied by the
manufacturer and earthed as described in Figure 8 : (page 3-10).
Failure to correctly install adequately rated surge arresters may result in warranty
claims being declared void.
Mounting brackets are provided for surge arresters on the tank of the ACR. This
is illustrated in Figure 10 : (page 3-12) and Figure 7 : (page 3-9).
The surge arresters can be mounted on top of the brackets or clamped to the
side of the brackets using the holes provided. Top holes are 12mm diameter, side
holes are 16mm diameter. In this way most types of surge arrester can be
accommodated.
The brackets are tilted to maximise phase/phase clearance. The user should
check that phase/phase and phase/earth clearance will be suffcient for their
particular surge arresters and line voltages. For some types of side clamping
surge arresters, the phase/earth clearance may be insuffcient at the centre
phase on the pole side at higher voltages. In this case the surge arrester can be
mounted on the side of the power pole or an increased clearance ACR mounting
bracket ftted.
Connections from the surge arresters to the cable tails can be made by stripping
off the cable tail insulation and using a parallel or "T" type clamp to make the
connection to the cable tail. The connection should be made far enough up the
tail so that phase/phase and phase/earth clearances are maintained. The cable
tail is watertight
1
, so additional water blocking where the insulation has been
removed is not required, however it is good practice to tape the joint using a
bitumen or mastic tape, to maintain the cabling system insulation.
1 The 800A cable is not water-blocked, so must be taped.
If the arresters are not mounted close to the
ACR the protection they provide is
signifcantly reduced.

Earthing (Grounding)
Figure 8 : (page 3-10) shows the earthing (grounding) common to all installations.
This arrangement earths the ACR frame and the surge arresters directly to earth
through a main earth bond consisting of a copper conductor of 70 sq. mm. Any
surges will fow down this path.
The control cubicle is connected to this main earth bond by a tee-off. The control
cubicle electronics are internally protected from potential differences which may
occur between the ACR frame and control cubicle frame whilst surge currents are
fowing down the main earth bond. No other connections to earth from the control
cubicle are allowed since surge currents will also fow in those paths. Follow this
arrangement on both conducting and insulating power poles.
Keep the main earth bond physically separated from the control cable, as they run
down the power pole, by the maximum spacing available and at least 150mm.
LV Auxiliary Power from Mains
Where LV mains are connected to the control cubicle to provide auxiliary power the
connection must connect the neutral of the LV system to a tee-off from the main
earth bond as shown in Figure 8 : (page 3-10). A low voltage surge arrester must
also be ftted from the LV phase connection to this tee-off.
This connection scheme bonds the LV and HV earths and so protects the primary
insulation of the auxiliary supply transformer in the control cubicle when surge
currents are fowing. Fit additional LV surge arresters to all the other LV phases (if
they exist), to balance the supply for other users connected to the LV system.
If local conditions or wiring rules prohibit bonding the HV and LV systems in this way,
providing the auxiliary supply to the control cubicle from the LV mains system is not
possible. Instead, use one of the alternative arrangements detailed below.

LV Auxiliary Power from Dedicated Utility Transformer
Figure 9 : (page 3-11) shows wiring and earthing if a dedicated transformer is
supplied by the utility. Note that this should not be used to supply any other
equipment without consulting the manufacturer to ensure that no hazard is caused to
the control cubicle electronics.
Figure 9 : (page 3-11) shows that the transformer and any steelwork is earthed to the
switchgear tank and that one side of the transformer secondary is earthed to the
earth stud on the equipment panel inside the control cubicle.
Auxiliary Power from Integrated Transformer
The manufacturer can provide a dedicated voltage transformer outside the ACR tank
which connects directly into the control electronics. This is called an Integrated
Auxiliary Supply.
An external transformer is mounted on the front of the tank as shown in Figure 9 :
(page 3-11) which also shows suggested HV connections. The secondary of the
external transformer connects into the SCEM on the underside of the ACR. To
connect the transformer secondary, remove the SCEM compartment cover plate,
pass the cable which is pre-ftted with a cable gland through the hole, secure the
gland, connect the auxiliary supply to the screw terminal block on the SCEM and
replace the compartment cover.
No additional earthing for Integrated Auxiliary Supply is required in addition to the
common earthing shown in Figure 9 : (page 3-11).
Do not earth surge arresters by a
different path, doing this may cause
damage to the control electronics or
ACR. Also, any antenna should be
bonded to the ACR or the main earth bond.
If the secondary of the VT is earthed,
electronics damage will occur.

RADIO ANTENNA
Mount the antenna and run the antenna feed to the ADVC or run external
communications cable to the ADVC. The communication cable/radio antenna, enters
the cubicle via the 16mm hole provided on the underside of the cubicle.
Cable Entry Figure 11.
Protection of Radio Equipment
It is highly advisable to connect a gas discharge type of surge arrester in the antenna
feed to the radio. Failure to do so will result in loss of radio and control electronics
protection which could lead to complete electronic failure due to lightning activity.
A feed-through or bulkhead type arrester ftted to the bottom of the control cubicle is
ideal. If ftted internally the surge arrester should be earthed to an equipment panel
mounting stud by the shortest possible wire. Holes are provided for a bulkhead surge
arrester.
If a surge arrester is not ftted then the co-axial earth screen should be earthed to the
equipment panel by the shortest possible wire.

V23 FSK
An in-built FSK modem provides half-duplex V23 signalling at 1200 bits per second.
This interface is primarily designed for use with voice frequency radio systems and
provides additional signals for this purpose.
The V23 connector is RJ45:

5 Not connected
6 From ADVC Transmit, 600 Ohm impedance
Level 2.5V pk-pk
7 Not connected
8 From ADVC Push to talk (PTT)
V23 Pin Connections Table 3.
The Push to Talk (PTT) signal is used to key up a radio transmitter. PTT is
implemented using a Field Effect Transistor (FET) with an on resistance of 3.3 ohm.
When PTT is asserted the transistor is turned on and connects the PTT signal to 0V.
A busy signal can be provided by the radio to indicate receive channel busy. High
level is +2.0V to +3.3V, and low level is 0V to +0.5V. The busy signal should be
driven by an open collector output or current limited to 10 mA.
If multiple ACRs are in use in a substation application they can be connected to a
single radio using the 600ohm line isolator accessory available from the
manufacturer.
Levels in excess of 13V should not be
applied. The FET is rated for a maximum of
+32V and negative voltages are not
permitted.
Transmit and receive are unbalanced signals relative to
0 volts and are not isolated. If a DC level is imposed by
the radio on the transmit line then this should be less
than 2.5 VDC.

1. Firewalls be used to limit user access to
the controller
2. Ethernet switches be used to limit the volume of
Ethernet data reaching the controllers 10Base-T port.
(Use of Ethernet hubs is not recommended.)

The following sections give details of how the ACR and ADVC, installed as described
in 3 Installation (page 3-1), should be prepared for operation.
Check that no visible damage has occurred during the installation.
Carry out any visual and electrical tests, such as insulation and contact resistance,
considered necessary to prove that the installation is sound.
POWERING UP THE ADVC
Turn on the battery circuit breaker, located above the 1: icon.
Turn on the dual pole auxiliary supply circuit breaker, located above the 2:
icon, if the auxiliary supply is being provided by either an LV mains or dedicated
auxiliary transformer.
If a second AC input is provided, located above the 3: , turn on its dual pole
MCB.

or
Turn on the VT supply to cubicle circuit breaker if the auxiliary supply is being 4:
provided by an integrated transformer (single pole MCB above , if ftted).
Powering up the ADVC with the ACR connected will cause the ADVC to read 5:
data from the ACR.

This will take up to 60 seconds during which the message:
"READING - Do NOT disconnect Switchgear"
will fash at the top of the display. The System OK LED on the OCP should
fash to indicate that the ADVC is powered and functioning.

The exVUE O.I. will create an ALERT with the same message.
If the confguration fle containing the settings to be used in operation has not 6:
previously been loaded, it should be loaded now using WSOS, or the settings
should be entered via the OCP.
The ACR and ADVC are now ready for operation. Prior to energising the ACR, you
should perform the following checks to confrm that the equipment is fully operational
and properly confgured.
Check that the installation and external
connections have been carried out as
described in this manual and in accordance
with local regulations.
Ensure that earthing has been carried out as
described in Earthing (Grounding) (page
3-8).
If you are familiar with navigating Operator
Control Interface display groups, proceed with
the checks described below. Otherwise, please
read the chapter, 7 Operator Interface (page
7-1) before continuing.

BATTERY
Check the Battery status which can be found on the following menu page 1:
System Status - SWITCHGEAR STATUS-S
e.g.

- - - - - - - SWITCHGEAR STATUS - - - - - - - - S
Work Tag OFF SF6 Normal 37kPag
Aux Supply Normal Battery Normal 27.5V
Switch Connected Switch Data Valid
OPERATOR MENU - SWITCHGEAR STATUS
- SWITCHGEAR DATA - Battery Status
The battery may be in any one of four states:
Normal - OFF - Low - High
At this point, the battery state should be Normal with a voltage within the range
23.2 to 33.1VDC. Ensure the Aux Supply status is Normal. If not, you cannot
perform the remaining battery checks at this stage.
Switch the battery circuit breaker off and check that the battery status changes to 2:
OFF. (Allow 3 - 5 seconds.)
3: Go to the EVENT LOG (see 8 Event Log (page 8-1) for details on how to do this)
and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the
Battery OFF event.
Switch the battery back on. 4:
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ADVC AND THE ACR
Check the Switch status which can be found on the following menu page: 1:
System Status - SWITCHGEAR STATUS-S.
e.g.

- SWITCHGEAR DATA - Switch Status
It may be in either of two states: Connected or Disconnected. "Connected" is
the normal state. If Switch is "Disconnected", check the control cable at both
ends. If the status remains "Disconnected", the cable may be faulty.
Check that the Switch Data status is Valid. 2:
In normal operation, if Switch status is "Connected", Switch Data will be "Valid".
If the control cable has been unplugged (Switch "Disconnected", Switch Data
"Invalid") then re-plugged (Switch status "Connected"), the Switch Data status
will remain "Invalid" during the time taken to read switch data from the SCEM,
and a message to that effect is displayed.
If Switch Data remains "Invalid", check the following:
Examine each end of the control cable, checking for bent or broken pins and
rectify if found. Also check the socket at both the SCEM and P1 in the ADVC
for damage.
If the pins are OK, the cable itself may be faulty
1
, therefore test the control
cable for continuity.
If Switch Data remains "Invalid", check the power supply to the SCEM by
checking the voltage on Pins 2 and 5 of the control cable. The voltage should
be approximately 36VDC if the auxiliary supply is present, 45 VDC for an
110/230 V auxiliary supply or approximately 26VDC if running on batteries.
2
1. It is possible for the Switch status to be showing "Connected" even though the control cable core is faulty,
causing the switch Data to show "Invalid".
2. A break-out cable to facilitate this measurement is available as an accessory.
When the battery status reads Low, but
the voltage is close to the normal range
lower limit, the battery will charge up when
the auxiliary supply is turned on. If the
voltage is very low, replace the battery.
For this and all subsequent tests you will need
to check settings on display group pages (See
Display Groups (page 7-3).) You may also
have to check the Event Log (See 8 Event
Log (page 8-1))

The auxiliary supply may be in either of two states: Normal or Fail.
Ensure the battery status is Normal.
If using LV auxiliary supply, switch the auxiliary supply off, OR if using integrated 2:
auxiliary supply and the VT is energised, switch off the VT supply to cubicle
circuit breaker. Check that the Aux Supply status changes to Fail. (Allow 3 - 5
seconds.)
3: Check that the battery voltage has dropped by approximately 2V, and that the
battery remains in Normal state.
Go to the 4: EVENT LOG (see 8 Event Log (page 8-1) for details on how to do this)

TERMINAL DESIGNATION AND PHASE ROTATION
The power system phase assigned to each set of bushings on the ACR must be
correctly indicated at the time of installation of the ADVC. This process is called
"setting the phasing". Setting the phasing affects all the displays, events, etc.,
concerned with recloser terminals, for example: voltage measurements, live/dead
terminal displays and maximum current events.
Normal/default phasing is A, B and C for bushings U, V and W. Normal/default phase
rotation is ABC.
If the phasing at the ACR and/or phase rotation of the network are different from the
defaults, you must set the phasing and/or the phase rotation.
On the setVUE O.I., Phasing is set from:
SYSTEM STATUS - TERMINAL DESIGNATION/ROTATION-S
Press the 1: SELECT key to select the A Phase feld.
Press 2:

POWER FLOW DIRECTION SETTING
The ACR is a symmetrical device meaning that either side can be connected to the
power source.
Consequently, after installation, the controller must be confgured to designate the
source side.
The power fow direction is confgured on page
SYSTEM STATUS - PHASE VOLTAGE and POWER FLOW:
or
- SYSTEM SETTINGS - METERING PARAMETERS
- Source 1, Load 2
and may be either Source 1, Load 2 or Source 2, Load 1. When changed, this
reverses the power fow direction but not the phasing.
Power fow direction setting is used to determine:
Whether the source or load corresponds to (1) or (2) on the voltage
measurement displays.
Which direction is positive power fow for use on the kWh totals in the Maximum
Weekly and Monthly Demand display and APGS.
Which is the source or load for Live Load Blocking.
Which is the source or load for Directional Blocking/Protection.
Only A-Phase is allowed to be edited. Changing
this phase will change B & C Phases in the
following rotation:
1: A-B-C = U-V-W
2: A-B-C = W-V-U
3: A-B-C = V-W-U
4: A-B-C = W-U-V
5: A-B-C = V-U-W
6: A-B-C = U-W-V
YOU MUST CHECK B&C-PHASE
TERMINAL DESIGNATION after you have
set A-Phase.
Incorrect terminal designation may cause incorrect
operation, false trips or even damage to the switch
gear or controller.

TRIPPING AND CLOSING
If system conditions allow, tripping or closing can be carried out at this point.
Trip and close the ACR from the ADVC. See 1: 7 Operator Interface (page 7-1).
for information on the Trip and Close controls.
Tripping and closing cause the LED on the appropriate TRIP/CLOSE button to 2:
illuminate which should agree with the position of the pointer on the ACR.
ENABLE/DISABLE SWITCHES
For each of the CLOSE and TRIP keys in turn, test ENABLE and DISABLE by:
Disable either mechanism (e.g. 1: CLOSE) using Disabled Switches located
underneath the O.I.
Close Coil Isolate event. (For the same test of the TRIP mechanism the Event
Log should display Trip Coil Isolate.)
With both mechanisms disabled, check that pressing each of the CLOSE and 3:
TRIP keys is ineffective.
Enable both 4: CLOSE and TRIP mechanisms.
MECHANICAL TRIP
Use a hook stick to manually trip the ACR via the manual trip lever. 1:
Mechanical Trip event.
SECONDARY INJECTION TESTING
If secondary injection testing is required to test protection settings but operation of
the ACR is not possible, secondary injection can be performed with a suitable current
injection set with the Test and Training Set (TTS) in standalone mode connected to
the ADVC, and the ACR disconnected.
If tripping and closing of the ACR is possible and preferred, perform secondary
injection testing with the TTS in parallel mode.
PRIMARY INJECTION TESTING
If the ACR can be isolated from the network, primary injection testing can be
performed if required.
Any secondary injection must use a frequency
which corresponds to the frequency set in the
controller.

POWER FLOW DIRECTION TESTING
This test is to ensure that the source and load designations are correct.
Since either side of the recloser can be connected to the power source, the controller
must be confgured to designate the source side.
To check how Power Flow is confgured see Power Flow Direction Setting (page
5-5)
If the 1-side bushings are connected to the source, the setting Source/Load setting
should be Source 1, Load 2.
Display the page and check the Source/Load confguration. 1:

The ADVC is designed for outdoor pole mounted operation. Both the ULTRA and
COMPACT cubicles are vented and insulated to minimise internal temperature variation
and maximise battery life. Cubicle dimensions are given in Figure 30 : (page B-2).
SEALING & CONDENSATION
All cubicle vents are screened against vermin entry and the cubicle door is sealed
with replaceable foam tape.
Complete sealing against water entry under all conditions is not expected e.g. during
operation in the rain. Instead, the design is such that if any water does enter, it will
drain out of the bottom without affecting the electrical or electronic parts. A rain sheild
on the PSU will protect MCBs if the door is open during driving rain. The extensive
use of stainless steel and other corrosion proof materials ensures that the presence
of moisture has no detrimental effects.
Condensation can be expected to form under some atmospheric conditions such as
tropical storms. However, condensation will be on metal surfaces where it is of no
consequence. The water runs out in the same way as any other water entering the
cubicle. Condensation will run out of the bottom or be dried by ventilation and self
heating.
All electronic modules are fully sealed to IP65 and are self heating.
AUXILIARY POWER SOURCE
The auxiliary supply is used to maintain charge on the sealed lead-acid batteries that
provide stand-by power when auxiliary power is lost. The controller monitors the
status of both the auxiliary and battery supplies.
A low power mode is activated when the batteries are nearly exhausted due to loss
of the auxiliary supply. This mode minimises power consumption while still
maintaining basic functionality.
CONTROLLER
The controller consists of three modules. (See Figure 16 (page 6-3) and Figure 17
(page 6-3)):
Power supply unit (PSU)
Control and protection enclosure (CAPE) with Operator Interface (O.I.)
Customer Compartment
The ADVC block diagram is given in Figure 18 (page 6-4).
PSU Module
The PSU module supplies power to the CAPE, and controls the supply from external
auxiliary sources
The power supply module encloses all 115/230 Vac mains connections. Internally it
provides terminals for auxiliary power supply connection. Cable-tie points are
provided to secure the auxiliary supply cables. Circuit breakers are used to protect
and switch the battery and auxiliary power supplies on/off. A durable cover is used to
enclose all the terminations.
CAPE Module
The main module of control electronics is the Control and Protection Enclosure
(CAPE). The CAPE digitises the current transformer (CT) signals and capacitive
voltage transformer (CVT) signals from the recloser. These are used to provide a
variety of data for the operator.
The CAPE module contains the PCOM board, PSSM board, trip/close capacitors
and O.I. assembled into a housing that provides protection from the environment,
sealing and EMC shielding.
The CAPE performs the following functions:
Holding & operating the O.I.
Operating the external communications interface to allow monitoring and control
from a remote computer or operator over a communications link.
6 Control Electronics Operation

N-Series Recloser
Switchgear Monitoring and Control
Controlling WSOS5 over an RS232 link. RS232 Port A is by default confgured
for WSOS connection. A USB socket is currently located on the CAPE. This port
is reserved for future USB connectivity.
Supply power to all electronic circuits and the customer compartment
CUSTOMER COMPARTMENT
The compartment is ftted with a panel tray that facilitates the mounting of your
equipment e.g. a radio or modem including any special interfaces. See Figure 18 :
(page 6-4). The compartment has a terminal block for the radio supply and power for
accessories such as an IOEX2. An accessory heater can also be ftted which is
controlled by the PSU.
PROTECTION AND COMMUNICATION SUBMODULE (PCOM)
The PCOM submodule contains a digital signal processor (DSP) which samples the
current and voltage signals from the switchgear and processes them to derive the
basic power system information such as current/voltage/frequency/real power/
reactive power etc. This is then used by the general-purpose processor (GPP) to
provide protection and communications functions e.g. over-current protection. It also
presents this data to the outside world via various communications protocols.
POWER SUPPLY AND SWITCHGEAR MODULE (PSSM)
The PSSM fulfls power supply and switchgear functionality.
The power supply function controls and flters the supply from external auxiliary
supplies. Power is supplied to all the electronic submodules in the ADVC Controller
and customer compartment. It also manages the battery power level and performs
battery testing.
The switchgear interface function provides controlled pulses of current to trip and
close the switchgear.
OPERATOR INTERFACE/DOOR ASSEMBLY
The O.I. is mounted on the CAPE and is accessed by opening the cubicle door.
Operators can view switchgear and system data, control and confgure the system
via the O.I. The O.I. has its own electronic processing and driver circuit, LCD,
membrane keyboard and status LEDs.
WSOS5 Interface
To use WSOS5 to upload or download data, connect your PC serial port to Port A
located above the operator interface. Use an RS232, DB9 female to DB9 female,
Crossover (also known as Null Modem).
By default, WSOS is confgured to run on
RS-232 Port A, but can be confgured to run on
RS-232 Port B, C or D.

CUSTOMER COMPARTMENT(S)
The COMPACT cubicle compartment is ftted with an accessory tray that facilitates the
mounting of your equipment e.g. a radio or modem. Figure 16 (page 6-3)
The ULTRA cubicle has one standard, and one optional accessory compartment to
allow for more equipment. and Figure 17 (page 6-3). The standard compartment
has a terminal block for the radio power supply and power for accessories such as
an IOEX2.

7 Operator Interface
The ADVC can be remote controlled via modems or other communications devices,
controlled using a laptop computer connected directly via serial or USB connections
to the ADVC, or by the Operator Interface. (O.I.). The O.I. offers full functionality to
change settings, trip and close the switchgear or display current values or past
events related to the switchgears function.
The Operator Interface (O.I.) is mounted on the CAPE inside the ADVC Controller
and accessed by opening the cubicle door. The O.I. consists of a liquid crystal
display (LCD) and key pad and light emitting diodes (LEDs). Together these
hardware features provide a user interface to monitor and control the ACR.
Two styles provide different functionality depending on the operators requirements.
These two styles are as follows:

exVUE
This O.I. provides the user with 20 indicator lights and 12 Quick Action Keys (Each
with confgurable LEDs) that are totally confgurable by the user through WSOS5.
This provides the user with instant feedback about the switchgear, and minimises the
need to navigate through layers of menu structure.
Both the setVUE and exVUE O.I.s, and their operation are described in detail on
the following pages.
If the door proximity switch is installed, the O.I. turns ON automatically when the door
is opened and OFF and when it is closed. The O.I. also turns OFF automatically if no
keys are pressed for 10 minutes. Pressing the PANEL ON key will reactivate the
panel.
This manual contains examples of display interface screens. In general, the
language chosen for these examples is International English. In some cases, screen
text will differ if the confgured language is English (USA).

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
The Status Lamps and the Quick Action Keys are programmed in the factory to a
default confguration. This can be changed to suit the needs of the user through
Windows Switchgear Operating System (WSOS5).
Status Lamps
These lamps are used to indicate the controller and switchgear status. The default
confguration is shown below. Each lamp indicates the state of the function described

INTRODUCTION
The ADVC maintains a log of up to 30,000 events that refect changes to the status of
the switchgear, control electronics, and ADVC logic. The log also records setting
changes.
The events can be seen via the Event Log O.I. display group. The event log display
will update automatically with new events. The most recent event appears on the
bottom line of the screen and older events can be viewed by scrolling upwards.
When the event log is full, newest events replace oldest events.
All events are date and time stamped to a 10ms resolution and displayed in the order
that they occurred. The source of each event is also recorded.
It is possible to apply event category flters when viewing events.
WSOS5 software can also be used to read and display the event log. In addition to
O.I.-like time stamp, source identifcation and flter category features, it also has text
searches and go to a particular date/time. The event log can be saved as a text fle or
as a csv fle. Refer to the WSOS5 help fle for more information.
READING THE EVENT LOG
On the setVUE panel, the event log display group is one of the main display
groups shown in Figure 25 (page 8-1).
On the exVUE panel, the event log is found via an dedicated key on the O,I.
The Event Log is navigated slightly differently depending on which O.I. is installed. A
navigation diagram for the setVUE O.I. is shown in Figure 25 (page 8-1) and for the
exVUE O.I. in Figure 26 (page 8-1).

Setting Change Events
A settings change can come from a variety of sources - WSOS5, Operator Interface,
SCADA protocol, and IOEX. The controller includes in its log, information regarding
the source of each setting change.
If the ALT key ( ) or EVENT LOG key ( ) is pressed whilst the event log is on the
display then the date and time details are replaced with extra information that
includes the setting source and, if applicable, the protection group, curve, and trip
number. Pressing the ALT ( ) or EVENT LOG ( )key again will redisplay the
date and time information.
The identifcation codes for sources are:
Identifer Settings change source
WSOS WSOS5 change
OCP Operator Control Panel (Operator Interface) change
PTCL SCADA protocol change
IOEX IOEX change
As it is possible for multiple WSOS5 applications to be simultaneously connected to
the controller via Ethernet, a source identifcation of WSOS can be insuffcient
information. For WSOS5 over Ethernet connections the frst four letters of the PCs
login name are logged. The usage of WSOS is therefore restricted to serial port
point to point communication links only.

Maintenance can be carried out using standard electricians and mechanics tools.
ACR MAINTENANCE
No user maintenance of the ACR mechanism is required.
The ACR should be returned to the manufacturer for refurbishment if the mechanical
duty or breaking duty is exceeded. This is checked by examining the remaining
contact life on the Operator interface. When the remaining contact life in any phase
approaches zero, the ACR has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.
Every fve years the bushing boots should be checked, cleaned if necessary and the
pointer checked to ensure it is free from mechanical obstructions. In areas of high
atmospheric pollution more frequent cleaning may be appropriate.
At suitable intervals check the gas low alarm is not showing on the operator
interface. If gas low is showing, this may indicate a leak which must be found.
Recharging the ACR SF

RECHARGING
The ACR is reflled to a pressure of 35kPa on the gauge corrected by +0.46kPa for
every degree Celsius above 20 Celsius and -0.46kPa for every degree below 20
Celsius. For altitudes above 1000m the gauge pressure should be corrected for
altitude.
Safety
Removal from Service
The gas fll valve is located between the ACR body and the mounting bracket.
Ensure that the ACR is removed from service before ftting the gauge and taking a
reading.

Procedure
Preparation
This procedure should be performed
under controlled conditions using
appropriate SF
6
reclamation equipment.
The gas flling procedure may be conducted on an ACR either in the feld or within a
workshop.
If to be conducted in the feld, ensure that the ACR is removed from service until the
procedure is complete.
Record the ambient temperature as this will be required when calculating the fll
pressure.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Gas Fill Valve.
Remove the protective plastic transportation cap from the cylinder valve. 1:
See Figure 27 : (page 10-2)
Fit the Gas Fill Adaptor to the cylinder and tighten using the correct spanner: 2:
Open both the shut-off and gas cylinder valves. 3:
Adjust the regulator valve until gas fows through and purges the line. 4:
Immediately close the shut-off valve. 5:
Ensure the adaptor is free of dirt or contaminants before inserting into the valve. 6:
Insert the gas line adaptor into the gas fll valve: 7:
See Figure 28 : (page 10-2)
Retract the locking pin on the gas fll tool and slide it over the gas fll boss on the 8:
tank. Allow the locking pin to spring into the groove. Gently check that the tool
cannot be pulled off.
Push the handle into the plug and rotate anticlockwise until the bayonets drop 9:
into the slots. Continue to rotate until it becomes diffcult to turn. Do not force the
handle further.
Filling with Gas
Calculate the gas pressure required for the local conditions: 10:
The default gas pressure is 35 kPa.
The fnal pressure is dependent upon the ambient temperature at the site.
For temperatures above 20 C, add 0.46 kPa for each degree in
temperature.
For temperatures below 20 C, deduct 0.46 kPa for each degree in
temperature.
Open the shut-off valve to commence the fow of gas into the recloser tank. 11:
Slowly turn the regulator clockwise to increase the fow of gas into the tank. As 12:
the tank starts to fll with gas, the pressure gauge will display the increasing
pressure:
Care must be taken not to over-pressurise the tank. A relief valve is ftted to
the gas fll adaptor. If the tank pressure exceeds 60 kPa, the valve will open
and vent to atmosphere.
Pressure in excess of that required and 60 kPa must be removed using a
reclamation unit or similar means.
The tanks pressure may be checked at any time by closing the shut-off valve:
Allow the gas pressure gauge to stabilise before taking a reading.
Open the shut-off valve to recommence the gas fow in to the tank.

ADVC MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the ADVC is required every fve years. The manufacturer
recommends the work described below.
CLEANING
Check for excessive dirt on the cubicle, particularly the roof, and clean off.
Ensure that the mesh covering the air vents and the water drainage holes in the base
are clean.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Battery replacement is recommended after a period of fve years. See Battery Care
(page 10-5) .
The procedure is:
Turn off the battery circuit breaker. 1:
Unplug batteries and replace with new batteries. 2:
Turn on the battery circuit breaker and ensure that BATTERY NORMAL status 3:
is restored via:

Battery Heater Accessory
Where the battery heater accessory has been ftted the following procedure should
be followed:
Turn off the battery circuit breaker. 1:
Disconnect batteries and heater. 2:
Open velcro straps and open heater mat. There is 3: no need to remove mat.
Remove batteries and replace with new batteries. 4:
Return the heater mat to its original position, close straps. 5:
Reconnect batteries and heater. 6:
Turn on the battery circuit breaker and ensure that "Battery Normal status", is 7:
restored. To do this, see STEP 3 of Battery Replacement (page 10-4)
Ensure that battery polarity is correct.
Ensure that battery polarity is correct.
Take care to ensure, when accessing the
cubicle compartment in heavy rain, that water
does not penetrate the circuit breakers.
Battery heater failure will be reported in the
Event Log.
10-5
Door Seal
Check the door sealing rubber for perishing or undue hardening. If necessary renew
the seal.
BATTERY CARE
The battery is predicted to provide good performance for the recommended fve year
service period. This is based on the battery manufacturers data. No battery warranty
is given by the manufacturer of the ADVC.
Once in service, batteries need little care. Procedures for storage and other
contingencies are as follows:
Batteries should be stored at a temperature of between 0C to 30C (32F to
86F) and cycled every six months. Batteries should be stored for a maximum of
one year.
Batteries should be cycled prior to putting into service if they have not been
cycled within three months. When shipped by the manufacturer the batteries will
have been cycled within the previous 30 days.
If the batteries become exhausted in service and are left for more than two
weeks without auxiliary supply being restored to the ADVC they should be taken
out, cycled and have their capacity checked before being returned to service.
To cycle a battery, discharge with a 10 Ohm 15 Watt resistor to a terminal voltage of
10V. Next, recharge it with a voltage regulated DC supply set to 13.8V. A 3A current
limited supply is appropriate.
More information on the battery care is available from the battery manufacturer.
ABNORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
The operation of the capacitor charging inverter can be affected under abnormal
conditions such as when the battery capacity is very low. The following features are
used to protect the ADVC in this situation while still allowing the ACR to keep
operating.
Low Power Mode
When the batteries are nearly exhausted, the ADVC will change its capacitor
charging mode from normal to low power. In low power mode the controller takes
longer to charge the capacitors and the radio supply is shut down. A "Low Power
Mode" event is logged whenever this happens.
Operator close and trip operations can be performed, but at a longer time interval
than normal. If an operator trip or close request is denied, a "Cap Chrg" event will be
logged.
To return to normal power mode, the auxiliary supply must have been switched back
on for a minimum of 15 minutes, and the batteries may have to be replaced.
Excess Close Operations
During testing it is possible to carry out so many trip/close operations that the
capacitor charging inverter shuts itself down before it overheats. It takes more than
20 operations within a minute to do this and is not going to happen while in service (it
only happens during excessive testing).
When this happens the inverter shuts down for 5 minutes and a "Cap Excess
Closes" event is logged. During this time all trip/close requests will be denied.
These batteries are capable of
supplying very high currents. Always
turn off the battery circuit breaker
before connecting or disconnecting
the batteries in the cubicle. Never
leave fying leads connected to the
battery.

FAULT FINDING
ADVC Controller Check
Fault fnding within the ADVC involves determining whether the fault lies in the
electronic modules, the wiring or elsewhere. The electronic modules are user
replaceable items. Other faults require the ADVC to be returned to the factory.
A suggested fault fnding approach is as follows:
1: If the System OK LED(s), located on the on the operator interface (O.I.), are
fashing then the CAPE microprocessor is running. If the O.I. does not operate
then follow Step 4.
System OK LEDs are located in different places on the setVUE and exVUE
panels:

DETECT
GROUP
WORK
TAG
SECTION
ON/OFF

System OK

(Default location - Can be confgured differently)
2: If the display is operating, check the
AND
- SWITCHGEAR DATA - Aux Supply Status
page for an indications of any power supply problems (Aux Supply Fail and/or
Battery OFF) which can be traced and rectifed.
3: If the System OK LED is not fashing, check for loss of power. Check that the
battery circuit breaker is on and that full battery voltage is present at the
terminals. Check the presence of aux. supply on the aux. supply circuit breaker.
Check that the supply between the PSU and CAPE has not been disconnected.
Rectify if a problem is discovered.
4: If power supply is present then attempt to go on-line with WSOS to determine
whether the CAPE is functioning correctly. Replace the CAPE if required.
5: If this does not rectify the problem then the ADVC Controller should be returned
for factory repair.
REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRONIC MODULES AND UPGRADES
Electronic modules are user replaceable. Care should be taken to avoid damage to
the modules while they are outside the cubicle and replacement should only be
carried out by competent personnel.
PSU and CAPE frmware can be upgraded through WSOS. Refer to the Operator
Manual for further details.
Removal of parts from modules will void the
warranty.
