2 Introduction
The U-Series remotely controlled and monitored automatic circuit recloser (ACR)
consists of a U-Series automatic circuit recloser (ACR) combined with an ADVC
Controller (ADVC).
The U-Series ACR
consists of ganged vacuum interrupters insulated with cyclo-aliphatic epoxy
resin mouldings,
operated by a single magnetic actuator for both tripping and closing.
The mechanism is enclosed in a 316 grade stainless steel tank and lid, with
cyclo-aliphatic epoxy resin casting bolted to it.
Surge arresters can be directly fitted to the ACR (depending on mounting
method) and should be fitted at installation.
Voltages are measured on each of the I - Side Bushings and can be measured
on the X - side Bushings if external VTs are fitted.
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 and locked out mechanically from the ground by a
hookstick and then be locked out electronically by opening the isolating switches
located on the ADVC.
A clearly visible, external pointer shows whether the ACR is tripped or closed.
The ACR is connected to the ADVC Controller via a control cable through the
base of the cubicle.
The ACR can be connected into a 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 operator control panel mounted in the door,
an electronic switchgear controller that monitors the ACR, and provides
communication and protection functions,
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 4Communications and Accessories Installation (page
4-1).)

40 kg (88lb).
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 Controller or both. The control cable is
plugged into the base of the ACR and the other end into the ADVC Controller 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 firmly home. 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.

6 Control Electronics Operation
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 24. (page B-2).
Controller
The controller consists of three modules. (See Figure 17. (page 6-3) and Figure 18.
(page 6-3)):
Power supply unit (PSU)
Control and protection enclosure (CAPE) with Operating Interface (O.I.)
Customer Compartment
The ADVC block diagram is given in Figure 19. (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.
Switchgear Monitoring and Control
Controlling WSOS5 over an RS232 link. RS232 Port A is by default configured for
WSOS connection. A USB socket is currently located on the CAPE. This port is

7 Operator Control Panel
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 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.
setVUE
A traditional O.I. that provides a 4 40 character LCD and simple navigation
with four user configurable quick keys.
flexVUE
This O.I. provides the user with 20 indicator lights and 12 Quick Action Keys
(Each with configurable LEDs) that are totally configurable by the user through
WSOS 5. 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 flexVUE 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 configured language is English (USA).

8 Event Log
Introduction
The ADVC maintains a log of up to 30,000 events that reflect 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 are scrolled 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 filters 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 identification and filter category features, it also has text
searches and go to a particular date/time. The event log can be saved as a text file or
as a csv file. Refer to the WSOS5 help file for more information.
On the flexVUE 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 26. (page 8-1)
and for the flexVUE O.I. in Figure 27. (page 8-1).

9 Power System Measurements
The current transformer (CT) signals and voltage screen (CVT) signals from the
recloser are digitised by the ADVC Controller and used to provide a variety of data
for the operator.
The ADVC Controller measures up to 10 power system components:
A, B, C, phase and spill currents,
phase-earth voltage on all six terminals.
The ADVC Controller uses the above measurements to derive many system
measurements including:
frequency,
phase to phase voltages,
total and per phase power (kW, kVA, kVAR),
total and per phase power factor,
harmonics,
earth current, and
sequence components.
In addition, the ADVC Controller also measures internal values such as:
CAPE temperature,
switchgear temperature1
auxiliary voltage,
gas pressure,
battery voltage.
1 The ADVC measures the temperature of the SCEM in the ACR and from that, calculates the switchgear
temperature.

10 Maintenance
Be careful to ensure that if working on the Maintenance can be carried out using standard electricians and mechanics tools.
ADVC with the door open in heavy rain,
water does not enter the circuit breakers
or general power outlet.
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 Control Panel. When the remaining contact life in any
phase approaches zero, the ACR has reached the end of its life and must be
replaced.
A warning is displayed in the event log when the Every five years the bushing boots should be checked, cleaned if necessary and the
remaining contact life reaches 20%. pointer checked to ensure it is free from mechanical obstructions. In areas of high
atmospheric pollution more frequent cleaning may be appropriate.
ADVC Maintenance
Maintenance of the ADVC is required every five 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 five years. See Battery Care
(page 10-2) .
The procedure is:
Ensure that battery polarity is correct.
1: Turn off the battery circuit breaker.

Fault Finding
ADVC Controller Check
Fault finding 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 finding approach is as follows:
1: If the System OK LED(s), located on the on the operator interface (O.I.), are
flashing 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 flexVUE
