Auto Recloser Whys ? For those who operate power transmission and distribution networks, the overriding requirements are safety and minimising network downtime. Nevertheless, faults will inevitably occur, so any device that will help to minimise the impact of these faults will achieve ready acceptance. Auto-reclosers are just such a device. Auto-reclosers are most commonly found in overhead cable networks and they are useful because, in such networks, only around 7% of faults are permanent. In fact, the vast majority of faults – around 80% – are transient, caused by events like lightning strikes and arcing, and will disappear in less than a second. The remaining 13% of faults are semi-permanent and are typically caused by animals or branches bridging the power lines. Even these faults, however, usually burn away and clear in a relatively short time.
