The N-Series three phase pole mounted auto recloser or circuit breaker was developed to achieve optimum performance and reliability, making use of the latest technology in vacuum arc interruption and microelectronics. It uses vacuum interrupters housed in an SF6 gas filled tank. The design has been optimised for automation, remote control, and monitoring applications and has built in current and voltage measurement for data logging. There is a clearly visible, directly connected pointer for visual indication of the recloser's position.
