Form 6-LS Pole Mount Recloser Control Installation and Operation Instructions
Initial Programming
Prior to Installation
CAUTION: Equipment misoperation. Do not
connect this control to an energized recloser until
all control settings have been properly programmed and
verified. Refer to the programming information for this
control. Failure to comply can result in control and
recloser misoperation, equipment damage, and per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION: Equipment Misoperation. Check minimum
trip values prior to changing an alternate profile. Failure
to do so may cause misoperation of the recloser under
load conditions.
IMPORTANT: Program all protection profiles. Unused
alternate profiles should be programmed with the same
settings as one of the applicable profiles. Default settings
on unused alternate profiles can cause unnecessary
outages if they are below normal system requirements.
The control must be programmed with all necessary
operating settings, all alternate profiles, and parameters
prior to operation with an energized recloser.
Initial programming of the control is the responsibility of a
Note:
qualified technician or engineer familiar with control
functions and programming parameters required for the
specific recloser installation.
The control must be programmed with the Form 6 ProView
interface software. Refer to Service Information S280-70-4
(ProView 4.X.X) or S280-70-21 (ProView 5.X.X) Form 6
Microprocessor-Based Recloser Control Programming
Guide for additional information.
Note:
The Pole Mounted Control checkbox in the ProView
System Configuration screen must be selected for all
Form 6 pole mount controls. This includes both pole and
substation applications.
IMPORTANT: Form 6-LS control users must activate
the loop scheme default settings in the ProView
application software Idea Workbench:
1. Click on LOAD IDEA WB STRUCTURE.
2. Select WBI-Form6-F6Default-LS.sch and click on
Open.
3. Click on READ IDEA WB SETTINGS FROM DISK.
4. Select WBI_Form6_Settings_F6 Default-LS.txt and
click on Open.
5. Enable the LS functionality by selecting the LS
Enable checkbox in the Loop Scheme Settings
Dialog box located in the Idea Workbench Optional
Loop Scheme Workbench.

Control / Recloser Compatibility
The Form 6-LS recloser control is adaptable to the
following Kyle reclosers:
WE*, WVE27, WVE38X, VWE, VWVE27, VWVE38X,
VSA12, VSA16, VSA20, VSA12B, VSA20A, VS012, VS016,
NOVA15**, and NOVA27**.
* This control is not compatible with Form 1 Type WE reclosers
below s/n 300 and RE reclosers below s/n 400.
** Control-powered NOVA reclosers that are manufactured after
September 2004 require a Voltage Trip/Close (VTC) interface
for tripping and closing. This VTC requirement applies to three-
phase control-powered NOVA reclosers with a Type A or a Type
D mechanism and Form 5, Form 5 LS/UDP, Form 6, and Form
6 LS controls with the control-powered interface. These
reclosers and controls are equipped with 19-pin control cable
receptacles. Refer to RECLOSER VTC INTERFACE and
CONTROL VTC INTERFACE sections of this manual for
additional information.
Reclosers manufactured prior to June 1989 are equipped
with Type A bushing current transformers. These reclosers
were designed for use with Form 2, Form 3, and Form 3A
controls. Because the Form 6 recloser control is designed
for use with reclosers equipped with Type B current-
sensing Transformers, reclosers retrofitted with Form 6
recloser controls should be retrofitted with Type B current
transformers. All reclosers manufactured since 1989 are
equipped with Type B (1000:1, 1000/500:1, or 2000:1)
sensing CTs.
Reclosers equipped with Type B sensing CTs are
compatible with all Cooper Power Systems recloser
controls (Form 2, Form 3, Form 3A, Form 4A, Form 4C,
FXA, FXB Form 5, and Form 6 recloser controls), and are
identified with the following label prominently displayed on
the recloser sleet hood or the front of the operator cabinet:
NOTICE
RECLOSER IS EQUIPPED WITH TYPE B
SENSING CTs.
RECLOSER DOES NOT HAVE A BATTERY
CHARGER.
The Form 6 recloser control can be used with the old-style
Type A CTs; however, the event recorder and duty cycle
monitor will have limited accuracy for currents above 5000
Amps.
Retrofit kits with the new Type B sensing CTs are available
to upgrade existing families of reclosers for operation with
Form 6 recloser controls. For additional information, contact
your Cooper Power Systems representative.
For identification, Table 1 lists the serial number breaks
between old-style Type A and the new-style Type B sensing
CTs. Below this serial number, the recloser is equipped
with the Type A CTs.
Note:
For reclosers shipped prior to June 1989 and not listed
below, please contact your Cooper Power Systems
representative with the recloser type and serial number
for verification of type A or B bushing current transformers.
