This document discusses auto-reclosing, which is a protective relay scheme used on overhead transmission lines. It aims to quickly reclose circuit breakers after faults to restore power supply while avoiding permanent faults. The document describes the different types of faults, steps for auto-reclosing installation and operation, schemes of operation including live bus/dead line charging. It also discusses factors to consider like protection characteristics, circuit breaker characteristics and types of auto-reclosing like medium voltage and high voltage auto-reclosing. Benefits of auto-reclosing include minimizing power interruptions and maintaining system stability and integrity.
