13OPERATION AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MN280075EN July 2018Form 6 microprocessor-based rack-mount recloser controlReclosers manufactured prior to June 1989 are equippedwith Type A bushing current transformers. These recloserswere designed for use with Form 2, Form 3, and Form3A controls. Because the Form 6 recloser control isdesigned for use with reclosers equipped with Type Bcurrent-sensing Transformers, reclosers retrofitted withForm 6 recloser controls should be retrofitted with Type Bcurrent transformers. All reclosers manufactured since 1989are equipped with Type B (1000:1, 1000/500:1, or 2000:1)sensing CTs.Reclosers equipped with Type B sensing CTs are compatiblewith all Eaton Cooper Power series recloser controls(Form 2, Form 3, Form 3A, Form 4A, Form 4C, FXA, FXB,Form 5, Form 5 LS/UDP, and Form 6 recloser controls), andare identified with the following label prominently displayedon the recloser sleet hood or the front of the operator cabinet:IMPORTANTRECLOSER IS EQUIPPED WITH TYPE B SENSING CTsRECLOSER DOES NOT HAVE A BATTERY CHARGERThe Form 6 recloser control can be used with the old-style TypeA CTs; however, the event recorder and duty cycle monitor willhave limited accuracy for currents above 5000 Amps.Retrofit kits with the new Type B sensing CTs are availableto upgrade existing families of reclosers for operation withForm 6 recloser controls. For additional information, contactyour Eaton representative.For identification, Table 1 lists the serial number breaksbetween old-style Type A and the new-style Type B sensingCTs. Below this serial number, the recloser is equipped withthe Type A CTs.otee:N For reclosers shipped prior to June 1989 and notlisted below, contact your Eaton representative withthe recloser type and serial number for verification ofType A or B bushing current transformers.Table 1 Serial number break for reclosers with Type Asensing CTsRecloser Below serial numberRXE 5831RVE 5894WE 11199WVE 3695VWE 7199VWVE27 7208VWVE38 1204All VSA reclosers are equipped with Type A Sensing CTs.All VSML reclosers are equipped with Type A Sensing CTs.All VSA12, VSA12B, VSA16, VSA20, VSA20A, and VSA20Breclosers are equipped with Type B Sensing CTs.All VWVE38X and VWE38X reclosers are equipped withType B Sensing CTs.Duty cycle monitorThe Duty Cycle Monitor provides the following dutycycle information:●● Measures and records duty for each individual phase innon-volatile memory.●● The recloser duty is measured and stored on the basisof Current1.5 x Number of Operations for Each Phase(ANSI C37.61).●● Readout is based on a percentage of total duty cycle foreach phase.●● Duty record can be adjusted or reset if recloser ischanged-out, serviced, etc.Using Table 2, select the appropriate recloser interruptingduty cycle factor and enter that value via the ProViewinterface software.Table 2 Duty cycle factorRecloser typeInterrupting rating(rms sym Amps)100% Dutycycle factor*RXE, RVEWEWE6,00012,000 @ 4.8 kV10,000 @ 14.4 kV97257196VWEVWVE27VWVE38X12,000 1045WVE27 8,000 140WVE38X 8,000 140VSA12VSA1612,00016,00010451608VSA20VSA20AVSA20B20,000 2248VSO12 12,000 1045VSO16 16,000 1608Auxiliary-Powered NOVA 12,500 1111* Duty Cycle Factor is Value x 105.Mounting the controlWARNINGThis equipment is not intended to protect humanlife Follow all locally approved procedures and safetypractices when installing or operating this equipmentFailure to comply may result in death, severe personalinjury, and equipment damage G102 1The Form 6 rack mount recloser control is intended to bemounted in a substation facility protected from weatherelements, such as rain, snow, wind, etc. Mount the controlin a convenient and accessible location that fits the abovecriteria.
