Viper Recloser Control Package
G&W introduces an economical and versatile control package for the Viper line of solid dielectric resclosers. The Viper Recloser Control (VRC) provides a customizable control package tailored to fit the needs of any recloser application. The VRC has been designed with reliability and versatility in mind. With the VRC, G&W can offer the Viper-ST and the Viper-LT packaged together with the SEL-351R3 Falcon, the SEL- 751A, or with virtually any other relay. The VRC concept integrates the G&W driving electronics and an Intelligent Electronic Device (relay) into a single enclosure. Accessories such as communication or security devices can be added to the package.
Applications
The VRC can be used for typical reclosing applications and provides protection, automation and control capabilities. The VRC adapts to the customer’s application and capabilities of the Viper recloser chosen. The VRC with Viper recloser can be used in overhead, padmount and substation applications.
Safety
The integral Hot Line Tag feature provides unparalleled operator safety. This feature prevents any local or remote closing and auto-reclosing to take place via the control. Depending on the relay chosen, a pushbutton or toggle switch on the control panel is programmed to enable/ disable Hot Line Tagging.
Security
Optional security devices can be installed on the VRC to prevent vandalism. A door alarm and security sleeves are available.
Customize
The Viper Recloser Control can be customized to fit a wide range of applications and budgets.
