The Viper-HV 72.5kV overhead recloser is designed to provide overcurrent protection through fault isolation and automatic restoration for temporary faults on overhead sub-transmission lines. The recloser provides utilities with functionality right on the sub-transmission lines that was traditionally only available by installing high-cost substations. The Viper-HV recloser offers ultimate user flexibility by permitting a variety of configurations, including phase-overphase and crossarm versions to match existing line infrastructure. Built to be a modular, turnkey solution, the Viper-HV recloser is a highly reliable and cost-efficient way to improve system reliability and grid resiliency.
