Manual Control Operation
Each single-phase unit in the NOVA-TS Triple-Single
recloser represents either A, B, or C phase. Phase selection
keys (Figure 7) are used to select a phase that will operate
when a manual TRIP or CLOSE operation is activated.
Note: Before selecting a phase for operation, press the
CHANGE/LAMP TEST key.
Manual operation of the yellow handles on the NOVA-TS
triple-single recloser is used to open and lockout the
phases, and disable the electrical and supervisory clos-
ing. The recloser mode of operation determines which
phases open and close. The Form 5/Triple-Single control
initiates the close signal.
WARNING: Hazardous Voltage. Do not rely on
the open position of the yellow operating handle;
it does not ensure that the line has been de-energized.
Always establish a visible disconnect. Failure to follow
proper safety practices can result in contact with high
voltage, which will cause death or severe personal
injury.
3Ø Trip – 3Ø Lockout (Mode A) or
1Ø Trip – 3Ø Lockout (Mode B)
If the control is in Three-Phase Trip – Three-Phase Lock-
out (Mode A) or Single-Phase Trip – Three-Phase Lock-
out (Mode B), all three phases are permanently selected
and all three PHASE SELECT LEDs are illuminated.
When one phase is opened with the yellow operating han-
dle, all three phases open and lockout The OPEN and
LOCKOUT LEDs illuminate on the control panel.
IMPORTANT: Pushing the yellow operating handle
to the CLOSE position will not close the recloser. All
close operations are initiated by the Form 5/Triple-Sin-
gle control.
With the yellow operating handle of the appropriate phase
in the CLOSE position, press the CLOSE pushbutton on
the control operator panel. All three phases close and the
CLOSED LEDs for all three phases illuminate.
1Ø Trip – 1Ø Lockout (Mode C)
When in Single-Phase Trip – Single-Phase Lockout
(Mode C) any combination of phases can be selected and
the respective PHASE SELECT LED illuminates. Each
selected phase must be closed individually.
When the selected phase is opened with the yellow operat-
ing handle, only that phase opens and locks out. The OPEN
and LOCKOUT LEDs illuminate on the control panel.
With the yellow operating handle of the selected phase in
the CLOSE position, press the CLOSE pushbutton on the
control panel. The phase closes and the CLOSED LED for
that phase illuminates.
IMPORTANT: Pushing the yellow operating handle to
the CLOSE position will not close the recloser. All close
operations are initiated by the Form 5/Triple-Single control.
IMPORTANT: If more than 5 minutes elapses since the
last panel operation, all the LEDs, except CONTROL OK,
will turn off and all three phases will be selected. Deselect
G116.0
the phases you do not want activated, and then press the
TRIP or CLOSE button.
Control Features
The Form 5/Triple-Single recloser control offers numer-
ous standard features and accessories that allow the user
the utmost flexibility in designing a control suitable for
their application requirements.
Under/Over Frequency Loadshedding
The Form 5/Triple-Single control includes provisions for
frequency loadshedding that trips the recloser for condi-
tions of under or over system frequency. Access to this
feature is through frequency threshold, trip time, and
allowable voltage threshold.
With the auto-restoration feature, the Form 5/Triple-Single
control can be set to close the recloser after the system
frequency and voltage have recovered. Parameters avail-
able for setting include frequency and voltage thresholds
and time delay.
A frequency alarm is available and can be configured for
notification.
