IntelliRupter® PulseCloser® Fault Interrupter: S&C Electric Company

Advantages

IntelliRupter fault interrupters obsolete conventional reclosing by eliminating the harmful effects of fault testing and enabling you to prepare for the unknowns of the future grid.

Uses 95% less energy, preventing damage to your system during fault testing
First breakthrough in reclosing technology in 70 years
Increased segmentation, without complex curve coordination, reduces SAIDI and the number of customers out of power
Most accurate bi-directional power flow response and control
Low-stress PulseClosing Technology safely tests for faults on hybrid systems and underground lines
Integral, all-in-one design makes for easy installation and protection from weather and animals
