Safety Precautions
DANGER
IntelliRupter PulseCloser Fault Interrupters operate at high voltage. Failure to
observe the precautions below will result in serious personal injury or death.
Some of these precautions may differ from your company’s operating procedures and
rules. Where a discrepancy exists, follow your company’s operating procedures and
rules.
1. QUALIFIED PERSONS. Access to an IntelliRupter
fault interrupter must be restricted only to qualified
persons. See the “Qualified Persons” section on
page 2.
2. SAFETY PROCEDURES. Always follow safe operating
procedures and rules.
3. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. Always use
suitable protective equipment, such as rubber gloves,
rubber mats, hard hats, safety glasses, and flash
clothing, in accordance with safe operating procedures
and rules.
4. SAFETY LABELS. Do not remove or obscure any of
the “DANGER,” “WARNING,” “CAUTION,” or “NOTICE”
labels.
5. OPERATING MECHANISM AND BASE. IntelliRupter
fault interrupters contain fast-moving parts that can
severely injure fingers. Do not remove or disassemble
operating mechanisms or remove access panels on the
IntelliRupter fault interrupter base unless directed by
S&C Electric Company.
6. ENERGIZED COMPONENTS. Always consider all
parts live until de-energized, tested, and grounded. The
integrated power module (IPM) contains components
that can retain a voltage charge for many days after the
IntelliRupter fault interrupter has been de-energized
and can derive a static charge when in close proximity
to a high-voltage source. Voltage levels can be as high
as the peak line-to-ground voltage last applied to the
unit. Units that have been energized or installed near
energized lines should be considered live until tested
and grounded.
7. GROUNDING. The IntelliRupter fault interrupter base
must be connected to a suitable earth ground at the
base of the utility pole, or to a suitable building ground
for testing, before energizing an IntelliRupter fault
interrupter, and at all times when energized.
The ground wire(s) must be bonded to the system
neutral, if present. If the system neutral is not resent,
proper precautions must be taken to ensure the local
earth ground, or building ground, cannot be severed or
removed.
8. VACUUM INTERRUPTER POSITION. Always confirm
the Open/Close position of each interrupter by visually
observing its indicator.
Interrupters, terminal pads, and disconnect blades on
disconnect style models may be energized with the
interrupters in any position.
Interrupters, terminal pads, and disconnect blades on
disconnect style models may be energized from either
side of the IntelliRupter fault interrupter.
9. MAINTAINING PROPER CLEARANCE. Always
maintain proper clearance from energized
components.
S&C Instruction Sheet 766-530 5

This instruction sheet is used with software version IntelliRupterECInstaller-7.3.x.exe.
The “x” can indicate any number from 0 to 255. Other related software component version
information is found on the Setup>General>Revisions screen. IntelliRupterECInstaller-
7.3.x.exe is the name of the installer le available at the S&C Automation Customer
Support Portal.
These instructions cover protection and communication setup of an IntelliRupter
PulseCloser Fault Interrupter. IntelliRupter fault interrupters may be used in standalone
radial-protection applications, for source-transfer operations, for loop restoration, or as
part of an IntelliTeam SG Automatic Restoration System.
The Standard Control Group can operate stand-alone (non-communicating) appli-
cations, SCADA communications, and automatic loop restoration. It also includes
IntelliTeam SG Bronze-Level Software for applications with two sources, including auto-
matic source transfer. Optional IntelliTeam SG Silver-Level Software is used for basic
closed-loop applications, and IntelliTeam SG Gold-Level Software is for applications
with three or more sources.
The automatic loop-restoration system is non-communicating and uses normally closed
IntelliRupter fault interrupters or conventional reclosers with a normally open IntelliRupter
fault interrupter switching point. The feeders on either side of the switching point are
fed from different sources. When a fault occurs on either feeder, the normally closed
IntelliRupter fault interrupters (or reclosers) in that feeder open and then use PulseClosing®
Technology (or reclose) sequentially to sectionalize and isolate the fault. Service is auto-
matically restored to unfaulted line segments by closing the IntelliRupter fault interrupter
at the normally open switching point.
The automatic source-transfer system uses two IntelliRupter fault interrupters
with peer-to-peer communication to ensure a high degree of critical-load continuity by
minimizing interruptions resulting from the loss of one source.
The IntelliTeam SG system monitors real-time load, and it uses peer-to-peer
communication to determine fault location and alternate source-restoration capa-
bility. After protection operations isolate the fault, the IntelliTeam SG system
automatically restores service to as many unfaulted line segments as the alternate source
has reserve capacity to supply. An IntelliTeam SG system with a Gold license can be
easily expanded to automate large distribution regions by using multiple alternate sources.
The Standard Control Group with Battery Backup is the same software in the
Standard Control Group and includes a battery that can operate for a minimum of four
hours after loss of ac-line voltage on both sides of the IntelliRupter fault interrupter to
provide extended dead-line switching.
The Universal Control Group includes IntelliTeam SG Automatic Restoration Software
with a Gold license and IntelliTeam® Designer software. This group will operate all fea-
tures of the IntelliTeam SG system with three or more sources, and it can be configured
to operate in an IntelliTeam® II Automatic Restoration System.
IntelliRupter fault interrupters may be configured before installation or on site with
a secure Wi-Fi communication link to a laptop computer running IntelliLink® Setup
Software. User-selectable setup parameters include device name and location, phase
identifications, terminal designations, current-flow directions, voltage-reporting units,
and a time-synchronization source.
6 S&C Instruction Sheet 766-530
Overview

Up to four general profiles can be configured; one is selected for normal use.
IntelliTeam SG software allows selection of an alternate profile for use when the IntelliRupter
fault interrupter is powered from an alternate source. See Instruction Sheets 766-532,
“IntelliRupter® PulseCloser® Fault Interrupter: IntelliTeam® Automatic Restoration
System Setup,” and 1044-570, “IntelliTeam® Designer: User’s Guide,” for more informa-
tion regarding the setup and confirmation of the IntelliTeam SG system.
A wide variety of features and functions can be selected and configured in the general
profiles, including the following:
Overcurrent Elements—Simultaneous Independent Directional Phase, Ground,
Negative-Sequence, and Sensitive Earth Time-Overcurrent, Instantaneous-
Overcurrent, and Denite-Time elements are provided.
PulseClosing Operations—The IntelliRupter fault interrupter can be congured to
test for faults using PulseClosing Technology—a unique, patented means for verifying
the line is clear of faults before initiating a closing operation. It uses precisely timed,
quick close and open operation of the interrupters and analysis of the current pulse to
determine whether a fault is present. A PulseClosing Technology operation subjects the
system to a small fraction of the fault energy experienced during conventional reclosing.
If no fault is detected, the device will close. A PulseClosing Technology operation can
also be initiated before a regular closing operation from the fully open and locked out
condition to determine whether a fault is present.
Conventional Closing—The IntelliRupter fault interrupter can be congured to use
a conventional close for any test after the initial fault trip. The “hard” close may be
required to allow a fuse operation after the initial fuse-saving operation. Up to four test
operations can be congured, and each can be a PulseClosing Technology operation or
a conventional close. A different inverse curve can be used for each close. Conventional
closing subjects the system to high-impact fault current at each closing operation.
PulseFinding™ Fault Location Technique Operations—When a fault occurs
downstream of series-connected IntelliRupter fault interrupters that cannot be selectively
coordinated, the devices can be congured so they all trip open. The fault is quickly
located by sequential PulseClosing Technology operations, starting at the open device
closest to the source. Each successive downstream device will perform a PulseClosing
Technology operation, nd no fault and, quickly close. But the device nearest the fault
will perform a PulseClosing Technology operation, sense the fault, and stay open.
Intelligent Fuse Saving—In conventional fuse-saving schemes, the upstream protective
device operates to save the lateral fuse. Intelligent fuse saving congures the IntelliRupter
fault interrupter so when fault current is above the point where the fuse would be faster
than the device, the IntelliRupter fault interrupter operates on a delayed curve so only the
fuse operates to isolate the fault. Customers downstream of the device do not experience
a momentary outage.
Sequence Coordination—The Sequence Coordination element maintains proper
coordination between the IntelliRupter fault interrupter and downstream reclosers. If a
fault is cleared by a downstream recloser, the IntelliRupter fault interrupter will shift to a
slower time-current coordination curve before fault testing by the downstream recloser.
S&C Instruction Sheet 766-530 7
Overview

Hot Line Tag Prole—The Hot Line Tag mode can be set locally with the HOT LINE
TAG lever and with an IntelliLink or SCADA command. The Hot Line Tag prole allows
the user to select alternate overcurrent, voltage, and frequency protection with one trip-
to-lockout, and it blocks all closing commands. For more information, see the “Manual
Hot Line Tag” section in Instruction Sheet 766-510, “S&C IntelliRupter® PulseCloser®
Fault Interrupter: Installation.”
Closing Proles—A Closing Prole operation is used when the IntelliRupter fault
interrupter is closed from the Open and Locked Out position. The Synch Check mode
may be used before closing, or a PulseClosing Technology operation, to test for faults.
Overcurrent, voltage, and frequency protection may all be set for one trip to lockout.
Closing Prole operations are time-limited and will switch to the assigned general
prole when closing is successful. A second Closing Prole operation with different
parameters than the rst Closing Prole operation may be selected.
Single-Phase Trip—IntelliRupter fault interrupters can be congured to open only the
faulted phases for an overcurrent trip signal.
Cold Load Pickup—The Cold Load Pickup modier can be set to modify overcurrent
protection after an extended outage.
Ground Trip Block—The Ground Trip Block mode prevents an inadvertent trip
caused by the imbalance created by diverting current on one or two phases through
single-phase bypass switches.
DNP Point Mapping—DNP points for the IntelliRupter fault interrupter can be mapped
to different point numbers on a SCADA system. See S&C Instruction Sheet 766-560,
“IntelliRupter® PulseCloser® Fault Interrupter: DNP Points List and Implementation.”

is the default and provides basic protection with no automatic load restoration. The
IntelliTeam SG mode starts IntelliTeam SG system operation after fault interruption
and isolation have completed. Refer to S&C Instruction Sheets 766-532, “IntelliTeam®
Automatic Restoration System Setup” and 1044-570, “S&C IntelliTeam® Designer: User’s
Guide” for information about IntelliTeam Automatic Restoration System conguration.
To use an IntelliRupter fault interrupter with the IntelliTeam II Automatic Restoration
System, the IntelliTeam SG software must be set to operate in the IntelliTeam
II Compatibility mode. The Loop mode uses a standard loop restoration system
conguration.
Battery Installed
The control automatically determines whether a battery is installed.
Open on Loss of Control Power
Select the Yes option to congure the IntelliRupter fault interrupter to open when
capacitor energy storage reaches a critical level because of loss of line power and a low
battery charge. Opening on loss of control power limits in-rush current when the circuit
is re-energized and feeder segments are sequentially picked up. Select the No option
to congure the IntelliRupter fault interrupter to remain closed when stored energy is
depleted.
Time Limit for Sleep—Do Not Resume Operations
This is the maximum number of minutes the IntelliRupter fault interrupter can remain
de-energized after opening on loss of control power and still be able to close automatically
when control power is restored. The IntelliRupter fault interrupter must have been in the
Closed position before loss of control power. Setting this value to 0 minutes will prohibit
an automatic close. (Range: 0-1440; Step: 1; Default: 120)
Time to Close After Wake-Up
When control power is restored and the Time Limit for Sleep—Do Not Resume
Operations Timer has not expired, automatic closing of the IntelliRupter fault interrupter
will be delayed by this timer. It may take up to 30 seconds after line power is restored for
the IntelliRupter fault interrupter to automatically close, even when the Time to Close
After Wake-Up Timer is set to 0 minutes. (Range: 0-30; Step: 1; Default: 0)

Log Section
Logging Level
The selected logging level determines the type of data-log messages captured in
the base memory module and is displayed on the Logs>Historic Log screen. See
Figure 5. The Normal setting is the default. Every data-log message is assigned one of
these specic log levels:
Normal–User information
Extended–User information and internal status
All–User information, internal status, and internal trace/debugging information
Duplicate Event Margin (milliseconds)
Storing rapidly occurring duplicate events can ood the internal memory and does not
yield useful diagnostic information. Every element of their event records must match for
events to be considered duplicates. This setpoint selects data to be stored in the internal
memory and be displayed on the Logs>Historic Log screen. It determines the time
between logging a duplicate event. It has no effect on an alternating sequence of events.
For example, the setpoint can be set to 10 ms. For a sequence of events ABABAB (where
A and B are different), assume the next event occurs 1 ms after the previous one. Though
identical events occur within 2 ms, well within the value of the setpoint, all events will
be logged. (Range: 0-30; Step: 1 ms; Default: 10)
Time Average for Metering
This is the sampling period in minutes used in generating data for the compact ash
Metering.pro les. A smaller interval results in more log entries. (Minimum: 1; Maximum:
120; Increment: 1; Default:15)

Information about Phase Rotation Settings
The IntelliRupter fault interrupter measures phase rotation (123, 132, or Undened)
using both terminal X & Y phase voltages. If viable voltage is present on both terminals,
only terminal X is used when determining phase rotation.
• When the IntelliRupter fault interrupter control powers up it may take sev-
eral minutes before the measured phase rotation is displayed on the Metering
screen. Until then, the Metering screen displays the phase rotation setting on the
Setup>General>System>Phase Rotation screen.
• Until terminal-X phase rotation is measured, the IntelliRupter fault interrupter
measures positive and negative sequence voltage based on the 123 or 132 setting in
Setup>General>System>Phase Rotation screen.
• In the event the phase rotation setting on the Setup>General>System>Phase
Rotation screen results in the IntelliRupter fault interrupter detecting both terminals
X & Y have higher negative sequence voltages than positive sequence voltages, the
Metering screen will initially display negative sequence voltages for both terminals.
After about 1 minute these terminal X & Y negative sequence voltages will change to
positive sequence voltages.
S&C Instruction Sheet 766-530 19
General Setup

Note: Exceptions to this may occur if there is a fault condition, the IntelliRupter fault
interrupter detects less than three-phase voltage present, or unequal phase-voltage
magnitudes are occurring.
• After phase rotation is measured, the measured-phase sequence is displayed on the
Metering screen.
Note: The measured System Phase Rotation displayed on the Metering screen
may be different than the Phase Rotation setpoint on the Setup>General>Site-
Related>System>Phase Rotation screen.
• After phase rotation is determined, it is not re-veried unless one of the following
events occur:
• Voltage is lost on both terminals.
• The 5-minute Phase Rotation Reverication Timer expires.
• Any new settings are applied.
For example, the Metering screen display of system-phase rotation may be delayed
five minutes if the terminal-phase associations have changed without a preceding
loss-of-voltage event on both terminals X & Y.
• At power up with all three poles open, and when terminals X & Y have unequal phase-
sequence voltages, the IntelliRupter fault interrupter presumes terminal-X voltage to
be positive sequence.
Phase Rotation
Phase rotation is automatically determined by the Protection and Control module.
Select the 123, 132, or Undened option. The control will update this after making the
measurement.
Direction 1 / Direction 2
This setting determines the normal current direction. Select the X->Y or Y->X option.
X is the lower terminal and Y is the upper terminal. Directional-overcurrent protection
is set with respect to the circuits named Direction1 and Direction2. When the Direction
1/Direction 2 conguration is X->Y, Direction 1 protection settings are applied to a fault
that ows into the Y terminal and out of the X terminal. See Figures 7, 8, and 9 on page 21.
The IntelliTeam Automatic Restoration System uses the voltage measured on the
terminal configured as Direction 1 to determine the Good-Source Voltage measure-
ment. The Direction 1 terminal must be configured as the terminal that is the normal-
source side of a normally closed IntelliRupter fault interrupter. For a normally open
IntelliRupter fault interrupter with the normal switch function defined as a Tie/Sub, the
Direction 1 terminal must be configured as the terminal on the alternate-source side of
the IntelliRupter fault interrupter. A normally open IntelliRupter fault interrupter with
a normal switch function defined as a Tie may have the Direction 1 terminal configured
as either terminal X or terminal Y.
Label for Direction 1 (6 char limit)
This label associates Direction 1 of the directional-overcurrent protection with the name
of a substation, source, or load. The designation selected should take into consideration
the source may change when the circuit is automatically recongured. Directional-
overcurrent protection should be set to protect against faults on circuits connected to
this terminal.
Label for Direction 2 (6 char limit)
This label associates Direction 2 of the directional overcurrent protection with the name
of a substation, source, or load. The designation selected should take into consideration
the source may change when the circuit is automatically recongured. Directional-
overcurrent protection should be set to protect against faults on circuits connected to
this terminal.
