“…Even those publications that describe some design considerations for different types of recloser, like oil reclosers [3], [4], [10]- [14], vacuum reclosers [15], and SF 6 reclosers [16], [17], only show a general diagram of the operating mechanism; the recloser performance is then evaluated by tests under different scenarios.…”

This paper introduces the development of an analytical mathematical model to describe the fast dynamic response of the opening and closing mechanism of a power line recloser switch. The model is then used to simulate and evaluate the transient mechanical and electromagnetic performance during the opening and closing movements of the recloser. The simulated results are validated by measurements on an actual recloser while it operates. This model can be used to optimize the recloser design and reduce the manufacturing cost, instead of using the time-consuming finite-element analysis. Her research interests include control, design, and condition monitoring of electric machines, multiphysics modeling work of protection devices in distributed power systems, and renewable energy. J. Rhett Mayor (M'04) received the B.Sc. (Eng.) degree (cum laude), the M.Sc. (Eng.) degree with distinction in mechanical engineering, and the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Natal, Durban, South Africa, in 2001.
