The OVR-27 Recloser is a medium voltage (27 kV), three-phase device incorporating three vacuum interrupters assembled in
poles cast with an advanced Hydrophobic Cycloaliphatic Epoxy (HCEP). Together with the specialized control functions, the
recloser will sense a pickup current (or other pre-configured condition) and automatically open, or “trip”. After a pre-configured
Open Interval Time, the recloser will close again. If the tripping condition still exists, the recloser will trip again and reclose.
The standard OVR-27 Recloser control, the RER615, will allow up to four closing operations before the recloser will “lock out”
in the open position.
Satisfactory performance of the recloser is contingent upon correct installation, adequate maintenance and service of the
product. Careful study of these instructions will permit the user to obtain maximum benefit from this device
Each recloser is assembled and tested at the factory. Prior to shipment, the equipment is thoroughly inspected to ensure a
quality product free from defects. If damage is noticed, call the carrier at once for inspection, and request an inspection report.
Afterwards, file a formal claim with the carrier, supported with the Airway/Roadway Bill. The local ABB sales office should be
notified immediately.
: Do not place the recloser high voltage unit on an uneven surface. Placing the HV unit on an uneven surface
may cause tilting/galling of the HV unit causing damage to the equipment and injuries to the person nearby.
: Spreader bar should be used if necessary to ensure lifting straps do not press against and damage the poles, &
mechanical ON/OFF indicator.
: Do not use forklift to move recloser as it may damage the mechanical ON/OFF position indicator, Yellow
Trip Handle and associated interlock
3.3. Storage
The HV & LV cabinets must be stored in the upright position to avoid moisture accumulation.
For prolonged storage, indoor storage is recommended. Recommended storage temperature range
is -20 Deg C to + 40Deg C.
The low voltage control cabinet has rechargeable batteries inside. A periodic check of battery voltage
(24V)& periodic charging of the batteries (typically every three months) may be required in case of
prolonged storage. Please refer Annexure-13 of this document for the typical functional characteristics
of lead acid batteries. For the batteries in your control cabinet, please refer to technical documentation
of the respective battery manufacturer. Please also refer the section “Inspection & Maintenance” for
further information.
: If the recloser is not placed in service immediately, it is essential that proper care be exercised in
handling and storage to ensure good operating condition in the future. Please consult ABB if the
recloser will be in storage for an extended period of time before installation.
4.1.1. Housing
The bottom cover of the recloser housing (high voltage cabinet) is removable. The ON/OFF position indicator are visible from
ground. The recloser nameplate that shows rating information, serial number, and manufacturing year is mounted on the front
side of the high voltage cabinet. A 50W heater is provided in the high voltage cabinet, to prevent condensation and must be
energized at all times. The MCB for ON/OFF control of this heater is installed in the Low Voltage cabinet. The high voltage
cabinet heater is not provided with thermostat control.
: In the event the control cable is disconnected from the recloser, resistors installed across the CT secondary leads in
the high voltage cabinet will prevent voltage build up on the open circuited CT secondary.
: Disassembly of the magnetic actuator is not allowed. Lubrication or maintenance is not required
and will void the warranty. Should an actuator fail to operate, contact ABB Customer Service Group.
4.2. Control
4.2.1. Control cabinet (LV Cabinet)
A separate weatherproof cabinet, IP-55 rated, houses the low voltage control components. The outer hinged swing door has
provision for padlocking. Two inner hinged swing doors allow front and rear access to the control components. Other devices
are mounted on the side/rear walls of the cabinet.
The floor of the LV cabinet is equipped with removable gland plate to provide entries for Auxiliary power cable, communication
cables, radio modem antenna/cable.
On the inside walls of the control cabinet, there is assigned space for mounting optional radio modem. Contact your ABB
representative for more information.
A 50W thermostatically controlled heater is provided to prevent condensation in the LV cabinet.
- Due to frequent and long duration external power outages, battery frequently undergoes discharge
and charge cycles. This reduces battery capacity, charging efficiency & overall service life.
- Due a consistent long duration outage, if the battery bank voltage drops below 18V (9V per battery)
then this indicates, battery has got deep discharged & now cannot be charged further. Thus at
this point, the battery needs complete replacement by a brand new, fully charged equivalent battery.
- Connection of any additional load to battery is strictly prohibited and ABB will not be liable
for any adverse impact it can create to recloser performance including life of battery.
- For long duration Auxiliary power outages (typically more than 72 hours), it is recommended to
Physically disconnect the battery bank from ACU, by switching OFF the MCB D10-24 in the LV
cabinet. This is to avoid the risk of battery getting deep discharge. Once the Auxiliary supply
resumes, it is mandatory to Switch ON the MCB D10-24 and reconnect the battery to ACU
for charging the battery bank.
Service Mode: For normal operation of recloser; the selector switch must be put in service mode & MCBs D10-24 & D10-31
should be kept ON. In this mode the capacitors are kept fully charged by the ACU.
Discharge Mode: Since the LV cabinet houses charged capacitors, it is mandatory for operator’s safety to put the unit in
Discharge mode & wait till capacitor are fully discharged before any checks, inspections are carried out inside the LV cabinet.
To put the unit in discharge mode, turn the selector switch to discharge position . It is mandatory thatf the MCBs D10-24 &
D10-31 are switched OFF. This way, the external auxiliary supply & batteries are disconnected from the ACU. Thus
Capacitors are no longer charged; instead they are discharged through the discharge circuit. The LED on the discharge circuit
glows only till the capacitor voltage drops below 2V. In this mode the protection & control is not available for the recloser since
external auxiliary power & battery back up to ACU are switched OFF; which in turn switches OFF the RER615 relay. When the
capacitor voltage drops below 100V, recloser is OPENED/TRIPPED by the “Safe Trip” command by ACU; to ensure that
recloser is in OPEN condition in DISCHARGE Mode.
If in DISCHARGE mode, the Operator chooses not to switch off the MCBs D10-24 & D10-34, ACU remains connected to
external auxiliary supply & batteries. Thus it keeps charging the Capacitor while they are also getting simultaneously
discharged through the discharge circuit. Thus the LED on the discharge circuit (visible on inner swing door) glows
continuously since the capacitors are charged by ACU while they also discharged through the discharge circuit. Hence it is
mandatory to switch OFF the MCBs D10-24 & D10-31 when the selector switch is put in Discharge position.
The RER615 implements a draw out case design for easy removal and internal upgrades. This design has two main parts: the
frame and the case.
The frame is fixed on the inner swing door of the LV cabinet. The case is removable via a handle and houses various cards.
Please refer figure-8. All card connections are made with terminal blocks that are affixed to the frame of the IED.
The RER615 is not intended for “hot swapping.” Read section 8.1 before removing the relay from its
case. When the RER615 is removed from its case, the current (I) input terminals automatically short
Circuit the CT inputs. No card should be removed from the RER615 in the field. If removal is required,
contact the ABB Customer Service Group.
The OVR-27 recloser is shipped duly calibrated with the current /voltage correction factors (as applicable)
already applied and set in the RER615 relay. It is mandatory that these correction factors are not modified
after shipment.
A standard test report with a summary of results is shipped as a part of documentation package.
: All metal mounting frames and structures must be commonly grounded to the grounding grid at site. For the proper
operation of the electronic components it is mandatory that the total impedance of the grounding grid at site should
be less than one Ohm (1 Ohm).
It is also mandatory to ensure that all the grounding connections to the welded star grounding pad inside the LV
cabinet are always intact and secured.
High voltage applied across an open gap in a vacuum can produce X-ray radiation. No radiation is emitted when the recloser
is closed since no gap exists. Also, when the recloser is open to the specified contact spacing in service or tested within the
voltages specified, X-ray radiation at one meter is below the level of concern. A danger could exist at voltages above that
specified on the rating plate. During the test, it is mandatory that the HV cabinet is properly grounded.
-during the test, It is mandatory that the HV & LV cabinets are connected by the control cable & both LV& LV cabinets are
grounded during this test. It is recommended to place the LV cabinet three meters away from the HV cabinet.
- With the recloser in the open position, with a jumper connect all the three upper terminals together. Connect all the three
lower together with a jumper. Ground the lower terminals and the cabinet housing. Connect the high voltage to the top
terminals.
- Stand clear more than three meters before energizing the high voltage source.
- Do not exceed 45kV AC for any voltage class recloser. Do not apply voltage for more than 60 seconds.
- If internal flashover occurs, isolate the phases and test each one independently to identify the defective interrupter. Any
defective pole assembly must be replaced prior to the recloser is installed & placed in service.
: Do not use forklift to move recloser as it may damage the mechanical ON/OFF position indicator, Yellow Handle and
associated interlock.
2. Complete the HV cabinet & LV cabinet mounting on pole, as per detailed procedure in Annexure-2. Also refer figures 9 &10
Annexure 2 (A) Rectangular Pole Mounting Arrangement
Annexure 2 (B) Cylindrical Pole Mounting Arrangement
3. If Voltage Transformers (VTs) are used, it is recommended to install the frame without the transformers and then install the
VT’s once the recloser and VT mounting brackets are on the pole.
: Do not exceed 6000N cantilever force on any of the bushing terminals in any direction. Failure to comply will result in
permanent damage

All metal mounting frames and structures must be commonly grounded to the grounding grid at site. Grounding is important to
ensure proper operation of all electronic components, as well as to prevent penetration of EMC noise and other transients into
the sensitive electronic circuits (RER615 relay, ACU, radios, etc.). Each of the HV & LV cabinets includes two stainless steel
welded grounding pads on their rear for grounding. Each pad is 50X16 Sq.mm with 2 holes (M8 each) drilled, welded
stainless steel pad. Please refer figure 13. 80 Sq.mm cross-section, solid copper strip/equivalent is recommended for
grounding.
Any voltage transformers used, should be grounded to the main ground wire leading from the recloser HV Cabinet to ground.
It is mandatory that both the high voltage cabinet and low voltage control cabinet are firmly grounded separately &
independently, when installed. See Figures 10 and 12 for more details.For the proper operation of the electronic components
it is mandatory that the total impedance of the grounding grid at site should be less than one Ohm (1 Ohm). It is also
mandatory to ensure that all the grounding connections to the welded star grounding pad inside the LV cabinet are always
intact and secured..
If it is desired to obtain control power from pole mounted VT (PT), then the power rating of VT (PT) should be minimum 250VA
. Unless specified such VT (PT) will not be in ABB’s scope of supply.
Before connecting the external auxiliary power source to the LV cabinet, make sure that the
SERVICE/DISCHARGE selector switch in the LV cabinet is in DISCHARGE mode.
: Please follow the instructions on the warning label provided on the inner swing panel (door).
The voltage transformer (VT) used for providing external AC auxiliary power to the LV cabinet, then this VT must be
installed/connected on the source side of the recloser in order to avoid unnecessary drain on the battery backup system when
the circuit is open at the recloser.
The upper & lower terminal connectors fasteners must be torqued to between 50 to 60 Nm (442 to 531 inch lbf)
Do not ground either side of the battery or attach ground to the terminals of the actuator operating coils.
This will result in permanent damage to the unit.

Similarly following settings decide the accuracy of current/voltage measurements for the product configuration applicable to your
recloser. These settings also SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED during the life time of the recloser, without prior permission
from ABB.
Discharge Characteristics:
This characteristic shows drop in terminal voltage of each of the two batteries w.r.t time at various values (56A,28A,14A,5.6A,2.8A &1.4A)
discharge current. Thus with 1.4A discharge current a fully charged battery 24 V plus) will take 20hrs to reach the cut off voltage (10V per
battery) in 20Hrs at 20Deg C. Under recloser standby condition, battery discharge current is 1A.As per stand by back up internal test at
20Deg, a fully charged (24V plus) battery takes minimum 24Hrs to reach the cut off voltage =21V (10V per battery). Thus provides
minimum back up of 24 Hrs.
This characteristic explains, the remaining capacity on the battery w.r.t. to open circuit voltage across each terminal. In recloser ,
BATTERY NOT OK indication is displayed when battery bank voltage drops below 21.5V ( 10.75 V per Battery). Thus at this voltage
battery has been fully discharged (0% residual capacity)
This characteristics explains the reduction in capacity of the battery as a result of self-discharge, when battery is stored and not charged.
Hence, under circumstances of extended storage of recloser control cabinet, it is recommended to charge the batteries typically after
every three months.
This characteristic explains battery capacity as a function of temperature. Actual capacity is a function of ambient temperature and rate of
discharge. At 20°C (68°F) rated capacity is 100%.The capacity increases slowly above this temperature and decreases as the
temperature falls. At any ambient temperature, the higher the rate of discharge, the lower the available capacity. Here C means the
battery AH capacity. Thus 0.05 C means 0.05*28=1.4A of discharge current. In recloser control cabinet, in standby mode the battery
discharge current is 1A. While raising ambient temperature increases capacity, it also decreases useful service life. Please refer the
curve “service life at various ambient temperature” above. It is estimated that battery life is halved for each 10°C (18°F) above normal
room temperature.
The number of charge/discharge cycles depends on the capacity taken from the battery (a function of discharge rate and depth of
discharge), operating temperature and the charging method.
The recloser battery, provides minimum back up of 26 hrs at 20 Deg C when fully charged .
Under standby, it discharges at the rate of 1A. During discharging, when the battery bank voltage drops to 21.5 V, BATTERY NOT OK
indication is displayed on RER615. At this point battery is fully discharged, i.e discharge depth =100%. Then it needs charging. Thus after
such 200 no of charging & 100% discharge depth cycles , battery will reach its end of life (60% capacity) and may need replacement.
Hence typically it is important that, in case of external auxiliary power outage power resume quite well before the battery backup period of
26 hours, so that battery does not discharge to 100% discharge depth and undergoes a full discharging-charging cycle .in short the
duration of external power outage should be well below 26 hours (battery back-up period).
It is also important the frequency and no. of outages of external auxiliary power also affect the battery capacity, back up hours offered
and overall service life.
Service life:
The characteristic shows that with usage at 20Deg, in 5 years the battery will reach its end of life (60% of AH capacity) & will need
replacement. Considering the cyclic use (charge and discharge cycle), higher ambient temperature at site, for batteries in recloser control
cubicle, replacement period of 3 years is recommended.
