Low profile recloser solves cluttered pole clearance issue Case Study Solution G&W Electric was already an approved supplier of solid dielectric reclosers with their Viper ® -S design utilizing conventional “L ” modules (see Image 1 below). The “L ” module design however, would require some major reconstruction work to maintain electrical clearances. With G&W Electric’s flexibility in providing different solid dielectric modules to customize solutions for both switchgear and recloser applications, an ideal recloser configuration was agreed upon. For this application, G&W Electric utilized the 38kV Viper-S reclosers with “Z” modules ( see image 2) and SEL 351-R controls. The “Z”-shaped interrupter module creates a lower a shorter profile overhead recloser. Challenge The utilit
