TECHNOLOGY REVIEW
Recloser Technology
As part of our initiative to stay a generation ahead, NIKUM has assembled the latest magnetic actuation technology, highest quality vacuum interrupters, and most durable insulating material into the most dependable, cost effective, and lowest maintenance solution for recloser products. The PSN and NECL series, all function using the advanced technology created by NIKUMs researchers, and engineers. The reclosing sequence can be adjusted according to the requirement.
Vacuum Interruption
NIKUM reclosers use vacuum as the interrupting medium. Vacuum interrupters provide fast, low-energy arc interruption with long contact and interrupter life, low mechanical stress, and maximum operating safety. With arc interruption taking place in a vacuum, contact and interrupter life are several times greater than with interruption in oil, virtually eliminating Interrupter maintenance.
NIKUM
Surge Protection
Best operating results are achieved when reclosers are protected with surge arresters. On line applications, arrester protection is recommended on both sides of a recloser. If protection is to be provided on one side
Automatic Circuit Recloser
Flashover Recovery
Flashovers occur when an object, usually wildlife, contacts energized parts of the equipment. The NIKUM recloser minimizes the effect of flashovers with remarkable physical resilience, arc-quenching properties, and a self-healing ability. NIKUM recloser can withstand the enormous forces experienced during faults without wholesale damage and allows reenergizing after external flashover

Automatic Circuit Recloser
Construction
In common with other reclosers, Type NIKUM reclosers are designed for long service life with minimum maintenance. The recloser head is an aluminum/steel casting. The tank is fabricated of heavy -gauge steel and is finished with a corrosion-inhibitingepoxy prime coat, followed by a finish coat of thermosetting decal paint. Finish color is light gray. The recloser head is attached to a welded angle- and channel-steel box frame which facilitates handling and mounting. The tank is suspended within the box frame from the head. Each interrupter is independently suspended from the internal mechanism under the recloser head in a way which eliminates mechanical stress on the bushings as well as any need for adjustment between the bushing and interrupter. Silicon bushings are provided for flexible mounting options. Two targets, embedded on the recloser body, provide continuous (easily readable) indications of contact position and recloser state. Contact position indication is either CLOSED (white letters on red background) or OPEN (white letters on green background). A four-stage auxiliary switch is provided as standard. Normally set for four a and four b contacts, the switch can be programmed for other a and b combinations totaling eight. It is operated by the recloser mechanism and is wired to a terminal block in the operator cabinet.The switch can be used to provide a remote indication of contact position or to switch other devices, such as alarm circuits, coincidentally with recloser contact opening and closing.
Operation
Tripping
Line current in all three phases is sensed by 1000:1 ratio current transformers on bushings 1, 3, and 5 under the recloser head. Continuous signals from the CTs, proportional to line currents, are routed to the recloser control, where they are monitored. When the line current flows in excess of the programmed minimum trip level, in one or more phases, and after a time delay based on the programmed time current characteristic, a trip solenoid in the operating mechanism is energized by the electronic control (240V AC). The solenoids pull a shaft coupled with the vacuum interrupters that provide enough force for the interrupters to break the contact. A linkage simultaneously operates all three phases, opening the recloser contacts and a switch which interrupts the trip signal. from the control. During the process of tripping the shaft gets locked in the end position by a automatically adjusting self locking device. Once the recloser is tripped, the supply to the solenoids are cut-off to save energy by a limit switch.
Closing
As with contact opening, contact closing force is provided through the release of closing solenoids. The closing solenoids are charged by 240 V AC supply fed through contactors. Upon receiving a closing signal from the control, a solenoid energizes, overcoming the forces exerted by the locking mechanism. When released from the lock, the solenoids cause the operating mechanism to close the vacuum interrupter contacts. Limit switches interrupt the supply to the solenoids and the signal from the control when the recloser is closed to save energy.
NIKUM
Recloser Electronic Control
Nikum recloser is electronically controlled by a recloser control unit. The relay offers a choice of two controls that can be used in conjunction with this recloser. The control unit, is a solid-state electronic control system, using conventional, discrete, electronic components. Control operating parameters are programmed via plug-in modules. These programming components provide precise values for operating parameters, which include: time-current characteristics, reclosing delay intervals, and minimum trip levels. The control provides simple selector switch determination of phase and ground-trip sequences and operations to lockout. Operating characteristics and be quickly and easily changed, to meet new application requirements, by simply changing the dial settings or plug-in component(s), without removing the recloser from service. The relay control can be equipped with a variety of accessories to provide remote operation and monitoring for SCADA applications. Some of the available accessories include: remote fault indication, remote modification of operating characteristics, and remote operation.

REMOTE CONTROL & MONITORING
When used with a compatible Distribution Automation System (DSA) Nikum pole mounted reclosers support remote controlling and monitoring to provide the following advantages: Information on reclosure status and fault current values transmitted to system control allows fast operation of the faulted line section, reducing the travelling time of line crews. This same information allows informed remote switching which reduces the affected area and quickly restores supply. Reclosers can be configured and settings managed from system control, without technicians having to visit each individual reclosure in the field, with a consequent reduction in staffing and improved system integrity.
Supported communications include:
Wi-Fi, cellular, radio,
Ethernet, SCADA, and 900/1800/2100 MHz spread spectrum.
