TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser Control Module Integration
Two electronic Trips aver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser control modules (model numbers TSII-CONTRL5 and TSII-CONTRL6) can integrate into the host self- powered cutout-mounted, electronically controlled single-phase recloser. The recloser uses a vacuum fault interrupter technology and is offered in system class voltage ratings of 15 kV and 25 kV. The control module is an integral part of the Trips aver II recloser, and S&C will install it at the factory. End-users cannot do the installation themselves. Regardless
of the model, the control module resides in the Trips aver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser’s housing, and each model’s functions remain the same for all recloser configurations.
The control module processes all electrical functions required for the proper operation of the Trip Saver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser.
Aside from its primary functions, the control module can be wirelessly accessed by following the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol for performing maintenance. The control module includes a radio transceiver, an antenna, and software. Information regarding the 2.4-GHz radio is provided in Table 1 . The communication protocol remains unaltered in all Trip Saver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser configurations.

This control module has been granted modular approval for TripSaver II Cutout- Mounted Recloser applications. The final host TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser and
control module combination have been evaluated in a certified lab for FCC Part 15B criteria for unintentional radiators to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device. S&C will provide a test report upon request.
Control Module Models:
The Trip Saver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser control module provides controls and all logic functions for the proper functionality of Trip Saver II recloser. The control module has two distinct models:

1. Trip Saver II Control 5 (TSII-CONTRL5) has a main control board that provides standard 5-second open intervals during the Trip Saver II recloser’s reclosing sequence.
2. Trip Saver II Control 6 (TSII-CONTRL6) provides extended open interval functionality, enabling a 30-second open interval during the Trip Saver II recloser’s reclosing  sequence. The main control board has no sufficient storage energy to implement this feature. Therefore, a battery and battery charging/ discharging circuitry has been added to supply necessary energy to the control module.

Both Trip Saver II Cutout-Mounted Recloser control module models cause no changes to the recloser’s outer enclosure. Overall integration and battery, battery board, and main control board assembly is shown in Figure 1
