ABSTRACT:
A reclosing relay for reclosing a circuit breaker in an electrical power system. The reclosing relay is a multi-shot reclosing relay (i.e., providing more than one reclosure command to the circuit breaker) and includes primary and redundant lockout circuits for each reclose circuit. The primary lockout scheme employs a flip-flop, with a reset timer for resetting if the breaker remains closed after the first reclosure. The flip-flop is set when the circuit breaker recloses to lockout the first reclosure circuit. The redundant lockout circuit locks out the first reclosure circuit after a trip, reclose, and retrip sequence. The second reclose circuit includes similar primary and redundant lockout circuits.
