Abstract:
In electric power distribution, an Autorecloser is a circuit breaker equipped with a mechanism that can automatically close the breaker after it has been opened due to a fault. Autoreclosers are used on overhead distribution systems to detect and interrupt momentary faults. Since many short-circuits on overhead lines clear themselves, an Autorecloser improves service continuity by automatically restoring power to the line after a momentary fault.
