AUTOLOOP SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATION

摘要

A system and method for operating an autoloop system (48) on a electrical distribution system (20) is provided. The system (48) includes a master controller (72) that is disposed in communication with controllers (68) associated with reclosers (52, 64) and switches coupled to a first and second branch circuit (30, 31). The system (48) is arranged to momentarily block the one fast tripping function of a feeder recloser (52) in response to the detection of a fault on the other branch circuit (31). The system (48) further includes means for isolating a segment (104) on which a fault is located and restoring electrical power service to those areas upstream and downstream from the isolated segment (104).
