ABSTRACT A microprocessor based recloser control has a micro- computer for causing trip and close operations of a recloser in response to the conditions of the power distribution lines being protected and operator commands. The microcomputer may be overridden by a mechanical switch in the recloser control. If power to the recloser control is lost, the microprocessor will continue to function with power storage means for a limited duration. Towards the end of that duration, this microcomputer will power down the microprocessor in an orderly manner allowing automatic return to its functions when power is restored. After the microprocessor is no longer func- tioning, a secondary overcurrent trip circuit is relied upon to cause a trip operation of the recloser for extended dura- tions of power outage. The secondary overcurrent trip circuit can be disabled by the microprocessor. The microcomputer in- cludes means to normalize the input signals from the power distribution lines and multiple redundancy features to prevent undesired operations of the recloser. The recloser control functions in response to the mean square of the currents in the protected power distribution lines, and includes means for protecting its more sensitive components from input signals normally encountered.
