5.6 CONTROL ELEMENTS
When used in two breaker applications, the reclosing sequence is selectable. The reclose signal can be sent to one
selected breaker only, to both breakers simultaneously or to both breakers in sequence (one breaker first and then, after a
delay to check that the reclose was successful, to the second breaker). When reclosing in sequence, the first breaker
should reclose with either the single-pole or three-pole dead time according to the fault type and reclose mode; the second
breaker should follow the successful reclosure of the first breaker. When reclosing simultaneously, for the first shot both
breakers should reclose with either the single-pole or three-pole dead time, according to the fault type and the reclose
mode.
The signal used to initiate the autoreclose scheme is the trip output from protection. This signal can be single pole tripping
for single phase faults and three phase tripping for multi-phase faults. The autoreclose scheme has five operating states.

AR PROGRAMS:
The autorecloser provides four programs that can cause from one to four reclose attempts (shots). After the first shot, all
subsequent recloses are always be three-pole. If the maximum number of shots selected is "1" (only one reclose attempt)
and the fault is persistent, after the first reclose the scheme goes to lockout upon another Initiate signal.
For the 3-pole reclose programs (modes 3 and 4), an
connection with the tripping logic to cause a three-pole trip for single-phase faults.

The four autoreclose modes are described as follows.
1. "1 & 3 Pole": In this mode, the autorecloser starts the

fourth shots are always three-pole and start the
