Three-Phase Hydraulic Reclosers
6H and V6H

Kyle® Types 6H and V6H three-phase, hydraulically controlled reclosers provide reliable, self-contained distribution-circuit overcurrent protection at low initial cost, and require minimal service.

Types 6H and V6H adapt three single-phase interrupting structures with a common lockout mechanism. In operation, these reclosers sense line current in each phase individually and trip individually; however, if one phase sequences to lockout, all phases lock out.

Tripping is initiated by a series-connected coil. Current-carrying and interrupting capacities vary with the operating coil's rating, which is selected to meet circuit requirements. A choice of dual time-current characteristics permits coordination with other protective devices. A non-reclosing feature (standard on all Kyle reclosers) is set with a hookstick-operated lever for one operation-to-lockout without removing the recloser from service.

Two types of interrupters are available:

  • 6H reclosers: Current interruption takes place in oil.
  • V6H reclosers: Equipped with vacuum interrupters.

These three-phase H-group reclosers are designed, tested, and rated for operation on three-phase systems with a maximum design voltage of 15.5 kV.
