Control-powered interface
The NOVA i recloser mechanism (see Figures 3 and 4) with the
control-powered interface is fully operational with a Form 6/FXD
microprocessor-based control equipped with the required dc-to-dc
converter, interface circuit, and a fully shielded 19-pin cable. The
control-powered interface includes a 19-pin receptacle on the
recloser and an internal heater (for humidity control) powered from
the control input power supply.
The dc-to-dc converter board converts the controls 24 V dc battery
supply to 53 V dc to charge the trip/close capacitors in the NOVA i
mechanism. The dc-to-dc converter board also houses voltage
monitoring and conditioning circuits that protect the battery from
failure and provide trip/close operations without ac power. In the
absence of ac power to the electronic control, the control battery
will provide the trip and close operations. A complete four-trip
sequence with minimal reclose intervals as configured for each
control is obtainable without ac power. The recloser and control
system is capable of exceeding over one thousand operations on
battery power only.

The default connections use the horizontal bushing as the source side and the
vertical bushing as the load side. Also, the horizontal bushing may be used as the
load side and the vertical bushing as the source side. Note that reversing the
source and load bushings has no effect on overcurrent protection but may require
setting or wiring changes to the control for correct metering.
If equipped with internal voltage sensors, the horizontal bushings (1, 3, 5) must be
connected to the source. The internal voltage sensors cannot monitor source-side
voltage when the NOVA i recloser is in the OPEN position if the horizontal
bushings are connected to the load.
