Kyle Form 5, Form 5 UDP, Form 5 DC NOVA Recloser Control Installation and Operation Instructions

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Initial Programming

Prior to Installation

!

CAUTION: Equipment Misoperation. Do not

connect this control to an energized recloser until

 

all control settings have been properly programmed and verified. Refer to the programming information for this control. Failure to comply can result in control and recloser misoperation, equipment damage, and per-

sonal injury.

G110.3

The control must be programmed with all necessary operating settings, all alternate profiles, and parameters prior to operation with an energized recloser.

Note: Program all protection profiles. Unused alternate profiles should be programmed with the same settings as one of the applicable profiles. Default settings on unused alternate profiles can cause unnecessary outages if they are below normal system requirements.

Initial programming of the control is the responsibility of a qualified technician or engineer familiar with control functions and programming parameters required for the specific recloser installation.

The control must be programmed with the Form 5 interface software.

Control / Recloser Compatibility

Reclosers manufactured prior to June 1989 are equipped with Type A bushing current transformers. These reclosers were designed for use with Form 2, Form 3, and Form 3A controls. Because the Form 5 control is designed for use with reclosers equipped with Type B current-sensing Transformers, reclosers retrofitted with Form 5 controls should be retrofitted with Type B current transformers. All reclosers manufactured since 1989 are equipped with Type B (1000:1, 1000/500:1, or 2000:1) sensing CTs.

Reclosers equipped with Type B sensing CTs are compatible with all Kyle recloser controls (Form 2, Form 3, Form 3A, Form 4A, Form 4C, FXA, FXB and Form 5, Form 5 LS/UDP controls), and are identified with the following label prominently displayed on the recloser sleet hood or the front of the operator cabinet:

NOTICE

RECLOSER IS EQUIPPED WITH

TYPE B SENSING CTs.

RECLOSER DOES NOT HAVE A

BATTERY CHARGER.

The Form 5 control can be used with the old-style Type A CTs; however, the event recorder, data profiler and duty cycle monitor will have limited accuracy for currents above 5000 Amps.

Retrofit kits with the new Type B sensing CTs are available to upgrade existing families of reclosers for operation with Form 5 controls. For additional information, contact your Cooper Power Systems representative.

For identification, Table 4 lists the serial number breaks between old-style Type A and the new-style Type B sensing CTs. Below this serial number, the recloser is equipped with the Type A CTs.

Note: For reclosers shipped prior to June 1989 and not listed below, please contact your Cooper Power Systems representative with the recloser type and serial number for verification of Type A or B bushing current transformers.

Control Cable

!

WARNING: Hazardous voltage. Recloser and

control must be solidly grounded. Follow all locally

 

approved procedures and safety practices when grounding this equipment. Improper grounding can result in contact with high voltage, which will cause

death or severe personal injury.

G115.1

The control cable is fabricated with connectors which mate with the female receptacle of the recloser on one end and the male receptacle of the control on the other end.

Note: The control cable must be supported along its length to prevent repeated movement due to wind or other outside forces which can damage the cable.

IMPORTANT: All external inputs to the Form 5 control must be routed within 8 inches of their corresponding ground. During a surge, a potential of approximately 1.5 kV per foot can develop in the con- ductors. Differences between conductor and ground path lengths can add additional stress to the control components in the event of a power surge.
