1. GENERAL CONCEPTS OF THE ENTEC RECLOSER

INTRODUCTION

The ENTEC EVR type recloser is a re-closing switch equipped with interruption chambers in
vacuum (01 per phase) isolated by SF6 gas.
It is an electrical device for cutting and maneuvering in medium voltage.

Its design combines vacuum interruption technology with the use of a bi-magnetic actuator.
isolated transformer in SF6 gas, and control based on microprocessor.
The recloser uses energy from its battery or from a low voltage auxiliary source, which
it can come from a transformer connected to the same distribution line or from some
nearby electrical installation.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF THE MAGNETIC ACTUATOR

There is always a magnetic flux from a permanent magnet that keeps it in position.
armor (armature).
With the recloser open, when a pulse flows into the closing coil, the flow
The resulting magnetic force causes the armature to move, changing the position of the recloser, once
the flow from the permanent magnet retains the armature in the new position, similar situation
It occurs when a pulse flows within the opening coil while the recloser is closed.

Protection of CT, VT, and gas pressure

The current and voltage transformers inside the recloser's tank are automatically
protected when the control cable is disconnected, additionally the tank also measures
permanently the pressure of the gas inside the tank.

8. USE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE SOFTWARE

The EVRC2A-N Interface software is for the Windows platform, it can be set up
communication via the front port (the null modem cable that comes with the equipment is needed, not
(requires software registration) or through the network port (via crossover network cable and that the
software is registered).
Once installed, the default key is: 'entecene'.

The files handled by the software are of 02 types, the RDB and SYS:
RDB files: include all data and settings, however, these cannot be changed.
during the online state, events can be saved, through this file they can be
subsequently printed.
SYS files are used to change and save settings, they do not store events, with this file
We can modify the settings in the office and then update it in the relay.

ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY 25
RECLOSER CONTROL EVRC2A [Link]

FILE OPEN: open SYS or RDB files.

FILE SAVE: when online, save the RDB and SYS files in the same folder
FILE SAVE AS: The new file SYS is saved.

CONNECTING TO THE TEAM VIA FRONT PORT

The serial cable must be connected to the front port and verify the COM port number of your
computer.
Select ONLINE -> CONNECT, then choose the COM port where the cable is connected.
