Global Recloser Controls Market to Reach $1.4 Billion by 2026

Recloser controls are critical devices in overhead distribution systems helping clear circuit faults and enhancing serviceability by way of reestablishing power lines after momentary faults. The devices offer several benefits and the most important among them is the earth fault as well as sensitive earth fault protection. Other benefits include instantaneous metering, auto reclosing, demand logger, RTU for single enclosure remote control, and event log among others. A recloser represents an electric power protector, which consists of a circuit breaker that easily identifies a short circuit or over current network. The recloser has the advantage of shutting down automatically in cases when it is not in use. The reclosers help in preventing disruption of transmission service and in providing uninterrupted service by detecting temporary faults in a power distribution system during short circuits. The recloser resets the temporary problem automatically and restores the electric power. This is done by opening the line automatically, resetting the problem, and then by restoring the power. And in cases where the problem recurs, the recloser prevents any accidents by shutting off the power.

Recloser Control systems are widely used in utilities in their distribution networks. Auto-Recloser, a pole-top mounted reclosing circuit breaker is primarily implemented to safeguard parts of the network used in overhead supply lines, typically in remote locations. During the detection of fault currents on the overhead supply lines, the auto-recloser opens and closes the unit, after which it locks out automatically. These properties make auto-reclosers an essential component in an electrical system as the occurrence of short circuits are a common phenomenon. With the primary aim of auto-reclosers is to significantly improve the consistency of the distribution network, they have found widespread usage in power grids.
