Abstract :
Pulse closing is a new technology for overhead distribution system protection. It uses a new method for verifying that a power line has cleared a fault before initiating a closing operation. Pulse closing is an alternative to conventional reclosing. It is expected to significantly reduce stress on system components as well as improve power quality experienced by customers upstream of a fault.
