What is auto reclose system in Circuit breakers??

Answer Posted / raul

basically there r 3 types of faults..... transient fault
(80%), semi-permanent fault (12%) and permanent faults
(8%). transient fault occurs only for a small duration, the
CB is opened for a short duration of time so dat d cause of
failure is cleared and the line is re-closed by closing the
CB. for semi-permanent faults which r basically due to a
twig falling on d line or a bird spanning around a
conductor.......the auto-reclosing after the cause is burnt
away.........and finally the permanent faults ie single
phase permanent fault n 3phase permanent fault.....for 1-
phase fault, the remaining two phases r operational n the
faulted phases is taken out for repairs n after d repair is
done the line is reclosed n for the other 3-phase fault,
the complete 3-phases r taken off for repair n after d
repair is done, all d 3-phases r reclosed
