The TripSaver Recloser Advantage

S&C’s single-phase, cutout-mounted reclosers use a vacuum interrupter and smart features to automatically respond fast to faults and deliver results.

With different ratings and designs to fit your unique system and workflow needs, TripSaver reclosers give you more flexibility and control to achieve your lateral automation goals.

Reduce outages and restore power faster. Up to 80% of faults on laterals are temporary. Smart fault management restores power automatically for temporary faults to avoid outages and isolates permanent faults with a drop-out function to minimize impact and accelerate restoration.

Install and integrate TripSaver reclosers easily using cutouts and extensive programmable curves that simplify device coordination. Crew-friendly features give you more operational control and efficiency.

Lower operating expenses with fewer truck rolls and manual interventions. TripSaver reclosers simplify system upkeep with less required maintenance and inventory.

Measure avoided outages and savings more easily, while gaining deeper grid visibility with device analytics and options like paired sensors.
