Point-to-Point Communications
The reliability of conventional radial or looped underground distribution circuits is measured in terms
of the number and/or frequency of interruptions. These measurements cannot be directly applied to a
network system. A typical network system has built-in redundancy. During most events, the continuity
of power supplied to the end user is not affected by fault conditions on the high side of the network
transformers. So, from the point of view of customer interruptions, network systems are reliable.
However, transformer failures have been known to result in catastrophic fires, explosions and even loss
of lives. The failure or overload of multiple transformers within a network may ultimately result in the
interruption of service to the end user.
Loss of Redundancy
Loss of redundancy is a method that highlights the increased vulnerability of the system
every time a network transformer is lost. Loss of redundancy indices are calculated as follows:
S (No. Hours a Transformer is Disconnected
x No. of Transformers in the Circuit)
Duration of Loss of Redundancy (hours/year) =
No. of Transformers in the Circuit
Consider one substation breaker and one exclusive feeder out to the network. Five transformers are
energized by the same feeder. Assume one permanent fault on one transformer in one year. Also
assume the faulted transformer is de-energized for six hours:
Loss of redundancy can occur
(6 x 5)
Duration of Loss of Redundancy (hours/year) = = 6 hours/year as a consequence of:
5
Transformer fire
5
Frequency of Loss of Redundancy (times/year) = = 1 time/year Transformer overheating
5
Because there is only one breaker for five transformers, a failure in one transformer Transformer pressure build-up
translates to the interruption of power to five transformers for six hours.
Overcurrent condition
While the substation breaker may detect most overcurrent faults, faults caused by excessive pressure/heat or
fires cannot be detected by the breaker. One method that automatically isolates a network transformer from the
primary side, regardless of the type of failure, is the installation of an MVI fault interrupter on the high side of the
transformer. This MVI can isolate based on overcurrent conditions, but also can be wired to isolate the transformer
in case of fire, excessive pressure/heat, emergency signal, etc.

Interrupter Controls
80MAX External Control with Three-Phase Trip
The 80MAX Control mounts externally to the interrupter mechanism
and provides the ability to select an overcurrent trip level and ground. This
control uses the E-Set software, which enables programming via a computer
using the MVI-STP-USB adapter. E-Set features custom TCC curves and
provides access to last fault event information, as well as real-time current
per phase.
The E-Set II software is accessible via a computer connection to view
or modify settings. Phase and ground trip, as well as inrush restraint, are
available. The E-Set software enables the user to connect to the 80MAX
Control, either in the shop or in the field, to program or change settings.
An MVI-STP-USB programming connector is required to connect between
the PC and the MVI. With a computer connected to the MVI control, the
user can view real-time currents, the number of overcurrent protection
operations, current magnitude of the last trip and the phase/ground fault
targets. This is the standard control option.
Note: E-Set software can be downloaded from www.elastimoldswitchgear.com.

Single- and Three-Phase Molded Vacuum Reclosers, 1538kV
The need for automated reclosers has never been greater, but many of todays reclosers come
with penalties. They weigh too much, and that makes them difficult to install. They arent easy to
upgrade, so you have to guess about what features to include in case you need them several years
from now. Whats more, if the recloser you stock doesnt come with superior technical support,
service and built-in quality, you may find it worse than no recloser at all.
Elastimold Molded Vaccum Reclosers address all of these problems, and more.
Elastimold Molded Vaccum Reclosers are 33% lighter than typical units today, so theyre easier
and less expensive to install. Modular design means Smart Grid sensors can be added quickly
and simply. Our reclosers are compatible with SEL Controls, the best in the business. Elastimold
customer support, technical expertise and collaborative working relationships with customers
mean that you will have the information you need, exactly when you need it.

33% less than existing typical units. The simplicity of Their features, from easier-to-see open/close indicators
the mechanism design, and the compactness of the to the many robust extra features that we consider
encapsulated components, contribute to making standard, are there because of you.
Elastimold reclosers easier to move and install.
The Elastimold Molded Vacuum Recloser (MVR) operates electrically by energizing a magnetic
actuator system with a completely sealed housing. Each pole contains a vacuum interrupter sealed
in solid dielectric insulation for mechanical and high dielectric strength.
An open-closed position indicator provides a 360 view. An external manual trip assembly
is located on the side; when in the down position, it maintains the recloser in a lockout position until
it is manually restored. All electrical control connections are made through asealed single-environment
control cable connector on theside.
The combination of the molded vacuum recloser with microprocessor controls accurately detects
a wide range of line disturbances and provides reliable, high-speed isolation for adverse conditions.
