D. Handling reclosers during long outages
1. Recloser needs auxiliary power for general application. This power is generally derived from the distribution feeder itself
with the help of control transformer or fed from substation auxiliary source. In case of temporary unavailability of auxiliary
power (few hrs. in a day), the recloser is feed via internal battery bank of the LV cabinet.
2. If battery bank is healthy and in fully charge condition i.e. ≥ 24 Vdc, for the power outage can be of < 24Hrs. without any
special attention required.
3. If power outage is for more than 24 Hrs OR typically > 10 CO operations after power failure, then it is considered as long
power outage requiring special attention of batteries.
4. During long outages, the batteries might get drained to such a level that it might go into deep discharge stage i.e. battery
bank voltage goes below 18 V.
5. In this situation recloser will not be able to recharge the batteries automatically and external charging may be required.
Such situation might also damage batteries permanently and thus required to be replaced.
6. To avoid such situation, in case of power outage more than 24 Hrs. switch OFF the battery MCB D10-24. After the power is
resume, switch ON the battery MCB D10-24
7. If power outage is more than a month, then charge the batteries on regular interval externally to keep ensure the battery
bank voltage more than 21 VDC.
