Refinement of Recloser Operation and Safety Enhancement in Distribution Systems: A Study Based on Real Data by Geonho Kim, Tae-Hwan Kim, Jun-Hyeok Kim

“…First, an analysis of reclosure counts revealed that over 73% of faults were cleared after the first reclosure, and when the second reclosure was included, more than 90% were successfully restored. This finding suggests that reducing the number of reclosures from the standard three to one or two would not significantly impact fault restoration performance while simultaneously reducing arc generation, thereby improving safety. …”
