    The Initial Trip operation is required; if that is the only trip operation selected, the TripSaver II recloser will operate one time and then drop open (i.e., single shot to lockout). One of the available TCC curves listed in Appendix A on page 123 must be selected for the initial trip and for each of the additional tests to be added.
  • Page 55 TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser and the downstream recloser when each is set with fast and slow TCC curves. If the downstream recloser operates, the upstream TripSaver II recloser will shift (without operating) from its Initial Trip curve setting to a user-configured (usually slower) Sequence Coordination time-current char- acteristic curve.
  • Page 56 Informational and Settings Screens Add a Test Operation. Click on the green Add a Test button at the bottom of screen to add a new Test operation to the end of the test sequence. See Figure 78. Test operations can only be added sequentially from the top down. Figure 78.
  • Page 57 Informational and Settings Screens Open Interval and O/C Sequence Time If the reclosing sequence consists of just the Initial Trip operation (i.e., single shot to lockout), the reset time does not need to be entered. If there are two or more trip opera- tions, the open interval must be entered between adjacent trip operations in addition to the reset time.
  • Page 58 TCC curve will reset to its setting defined in the Trip operation. Note: An active O/C Sequence Time timer will not expire after a TripSaver II recloser loses power. It will continue counting down until the defined duration has been reached.
  • Page 59 All existing settings will be erased. See Figure 82. Note: Any unwanted curve must be removed before applying new settings to a TripSaver II recloser. Leaving a curve added with completely blank settings will not allow the settings to be applied.
  • Page 60 Informational and Settings Screens Configuring a Trip Operation When a test is added, a new configuration area for that Test operation will be displayed, but with only two user-configurable fields available at the beginning—the Emulated Device drop-down menu and the Open Interval setting between the newly added Trip operation and the previous Trip operation.

Note: This field is not active unless a Speed type for fuse link has been selected. When changing the Speed setting at any time, all data entered in the Ampere Rating pull-down menu and the optional Advanced TCC Curve Setup setting will be erased.
  • Page 68 Informational and Settings Screens Max Time (check box). Select this check box to enable the Max Time setting. The Max Time setting enables the setting of a maximum time duration of the current before a trip will occur. This is helpful when TCC curves are designed where the load or fault must be sustained for long durations (seconds or minutes) when the current magnitude is near the minimum trip threshold, before a protection Trip operation occurs according to the set TCC curve.

  • Page 73: Sectionalizing Settings Screen

    The Cold Wakeup NR setting is configured when a separate curve is desired in response to a cold wakeup of the TripSaver II recloser. See Figure 105. In most cases, this is a slower curve. This setting will be used by the TripSaver II recloser when the MODE- SELECTOR lever is in the Down position or when the recloser is in the R-NR mode.
  • Page 74 High Current Cutoff setting. An example of how the TripSaver II recloser will behave is shown in Figure 107. In this example, the Sectionalizing mode starting current is set to its lowest setting of 10 A, and the High Current Cutoff setting is set at its lowest value of 400 A.
  • Page 75 High Current Cutoff setting can be set equal to the Sectionalizing mode starting current is 400 A. To create a zone where the TripSaver II recloser performs like a pure sectionalizer, set the High Current Cutoff setting to the same value as the Sectionalizing Mode Starting Current setting.
