A device for interrupting a flow of electrical power in an electrical distribution system is provided. The electrical distribution network includes a circuit interrupting device, the circuit interrupting device having a reclose time. The device includes a sensor configured to generate a signal in the event of loss of system power. A switch is coupled to the electrical distribution system and is movable between an open and closed position. A controller is operably coupled to the sensor and the switch, the controller having a processor that initiates a timer in response to the signal and determines a measured reclose time with the timer. The processor is further responsive to actuate the switch in response to the measured reclose time is substantially equal to the reclose time of the at least one circuit interrupting device.
A device for interrupting a flow of electrical power in an electrical distribution system having at least one circuit interrupting device, the at least one circuit interrupting device having a reclose time, the device comprising:
A method of operating a recloser device on an electrical distribution network having at least one other circuit interrupting device, the at least one other circuit interrupting device having a reclose time, the method comprising:
A method of operating a device on an electrical distribution network having at least one overcurrent circuit interrupting device and a counter circuit interrupting device, the at least one overcurrent circuit interrupting device having a reclose time, the method comprising:
