A low voltage auto-recloser is the best tool to keep your power running during small electrical faults. Many power trips are just temporary, and this smart device helps you fix them without sending a worker. In this guide, we will explain how it works and why it is different from a normal switch.
Auto-Recloser vs. Circuit Breaker: What is the Difference?
Many people ask: "If I already have protection, why do I need an auto-recloser?" The answer is simple.
A normal circuit breaker has a "one-shot rule." If it sees a problem, it turns the power off and stays off. You can see more in our full protection product range.
An auto-recloser is much smarter. It has a controller inside. When the power trips, it waits a few seconds and automatically tries to turn the power back on.
How Does It Handle Different Faults?
Power systems usually have two types of problems:
Temporary Faults (Transient Faults): These are small problems, like a bird touching a wire. According to power safety experts, these are the most common issues. The device closes the switch again, and power returns.
Permanent Faults: These are big problems, like a broken wire. The auto-recloser will try to close the switch a few times. If the problem is still there, it goes into a lockout state. This means it stays off to keep your equipment safe until a repair team arrives.
