This document discusses auto-reclosing schemes for overhead power lines. It explains that 80-90% of faults are transient in nature. It then covers the key parameters of auto-reclosing schemes including dead time, reclaim time, and single or multi-shot operation. Factors that influence these parameters are described such as protection type, switchgear, stability, and load type. The document also discusses dead time selection, circuit breaker characteristics, and de-ionization time. High-speed auto-reclosing schemes and their requirements are outlined.
