ABR – Automatic Backfeed Restoration.
This function generates an automatic close of the recloser if supply is applied to one side of normally open recloser and another side of recloser has no voltage.
Terms and abbreviations used throughout this website are briefly explained on this page.
This function generates an automatic close of the recloser if supply is applied to one side of normally open recloser and another side of recloser has no voltage.
An Automatic Circuit Recloser is a circuit breaker incorporating a multishot, autoclosing relay, installed on a medium voltage feeder. They are designed to trip when a fault is detected, then automatically reclose after a set amount of time in an attempt to clear transient faults on the feeder. They can save considerable time when restoring power.
An electrically conductive bar connecting two or more electrical circuits.
Current Transformers are used to measure current for protection and measurement in switchgear applications.
Data Communication Equipment
An insulating medium between conductors
DNP3 is a communications protocol used for SCADA communications.NOJA Power's range of OSM reclosers are supplied with the DNP3 protocol as standard.
The Interface Test Set simulates the current and voltage signals generated by sensors inside the OSM recloser bushings for system testing purposes. It is used to perform tests such as three phase short circuit, phase to phase short circuit, earth fault, upstream broken wire, low source voltage and loss of supply.
A modular cabinet system for powering and controlling motors in a mine or factory.
Modbus is a communications protocol used for automation applications. It is often used in SCADA systems especially in substation automation. NOJA Power's range of OSM reclosers are supplied with the Modbus protocol as standard.
The Outdoor Switch Module is an outdoor, pole-mounted, medium voltage recloser. It features full-directional protection, current and voltage measurement on all six bushings, no SF6 or oil insulants and is light weight. Full SCADA and communications features are standard along with programmable digital I/O.

A Rogowski sensor is an air-cored CT design made out of a helix coil. They are immune to core saturation at high fault currents, produce safe voltages (millivolts) have an increased accuracy over a wider range and are very lightweight. NOJA Power use Rogowski coils for phase and earth current measurement in the OSM recloser.
Remote control and monitoring unit used in SCADA systems.
SCADA systems are used to monitor and control a population of remote devices from a central control room. A communications protocol is required to receive and transmit alarms and other data. NOJA Power reclosers are SCADA ready with RS485, RS232 ports and protocols such as DNP3 and Modbus.
Sensitive Earth Fault is a form of Earth Fault protection capable of detecting low fault currents. The OSM recloser can detect SEF from 4 - 80A.
Colourless, odourless gas used to insulate electrical switchgear. Identified by the KYOTO protocol as one of the 6 greenhouse gasses. SF6 gas has a an environmental impact 24000 times CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and has an atmospheric lifetime of up to 3200 years
TELUS is a software package that allows easy configuration of an OSM recloser via an RS232 connection. It features a graphical protection curve tool, I/O mapping tool, SCADA protocol configuration and can be used to change every setting inside the control cubicle. TELUS is also used to transfer event data from the recloser to a pc for off-line analysis of faults, load profiles, events and other recorded Information.
