IntelliRupter^® PulseCloser

S&C’s IntelliRupter PulseCloser is a breakthrough in overhead distribution system protection. After clearing a fault, a conventional recloser tests the line through uncontrolled closing — repeatedly applying damaging fault current to equipment from the source to the fault. But IntelliRupter utilizes S&C’s revolutionary PulseClosing™ Technology — a unique means for verifying that the line is clear of faults before initiating a close operation. Pulseclosing greatly reduces stress on system components, as well as voltage sags experienced by customers upstream of the fault.

IntelliRupter’s PulseClosing Technology is especially beneficial in loop restoration applications. View the video below to learn more about this application.
