Eagle Overview

Self-Powered Single Phase Recloser

Fused overhead distribution
lateral protection
Utilities generally deploy fuse-blowing or fuse-
saving protection techniques for lateral circuit
protection. Fuse based lateral circuit protection
has major drawbacks in terms of the outages
experienced by customers for transient faults.
Since majority of the faults on overhead
distribution circuits are transient, the outages,
service calls, dispatching crews, and replacement
of fuses all add up to be very expensive in time
and money. Additionally, these outages
contribute significantly to SAIFI (system average
interruption frequency index) and MAIFI
(Momentary Average Interruption Frequency
Index) reliability indices.
Superior overhead distribution
lateral protection using Eagle
ABB's Eagle is a single phase self-powered
vacuum interrupting recloser. It can be mounted
directly to the pole as a new installation or a
replacement to oil filled single-phase reclosers. It
can be installed separately on single phase
laterals or in a group of three for a three-phase
lateral circuit.
Eagle recloser drastically improves the reliability
indices for utilities simply by eliminating the
sustained interruptions experienced by the
customers due to fuse-blowing schemes and
momentary interruptions due to fuse-saving
schemes. By reducing the number of truck rolls,
the utility can save on operational costs and at
the same time avoid revenue losses due to
outages.
Eagle provides highest interrupting rating among
its class with higher BIL (basic insulation level)
and continuous current rating providing
application from major three-phase feeder
laterals to the end-of-line single phase laterals.
