Farady Electric produces pole mounted auto circuit reclosers for overhead power distribution. The FAR-15 series reclosers can be used on distribution lines from 11kV to 38kV, with rated currents up to 1600A. They integrate control, protection, measurement, communication, fault detection and online monitoring functions. The reclosers use epoxy resin insulation and magnetic actuators for long life in harsh environments from -45°C to 85°C. They offer options for voltage, current, breaking capacity, installation style, protection curves, communication protocols and measurement functions.

Outline of recloser:
The FAR series vacuum recloser is mainly combined
with integration terminal, current transformer, permanent
magnetic actuator and its recloser controller.
The recloser tank feature:
The Vacuum recloser tanks are manufactured from
304＃grade stainless steel and are powder coated
a light grey colour.
Whole recloser IP65 protection class, equipped with
a auxiliary plug to connect with recloser controller by
control cable, Diameter Max22mm, 6 M length(8M for special). .
Its can performance serve more than 20 years long term under heavy duty circumstance.
The recloser vacuum embedded pole feature:
 APG technology inject
 Use outdoor special Hydrophobicity epoxy resin
 Excllent electric field design,each pole partial discharge
Less than 5pc at 1.1*Ur
 Seal combine with mechanism box to reach IP67
 W shape umbrella each creepage 40mm/KV,suitable
For high pollution area
 Compact size,light weight

5. Optimization of electric field design Epoxide corona analysis
The recloser’s vacuum interrupter insert in
Outdoor expoxy resin with a high reliable, stable material:
With excellent electric insulation,
weather resistance, ozone, biological inertia,
can be stand under the long-term use in -55 ~ +200 ℃.
