23 April 2019 – When designing a Smart Grid, or automated distribution network, Automatic Circuit Reclosers (ACRs) and Sectionalisers form the core devices used to segment the overhead distribution network.

Modern distribution network switchgear is nothing short of an engineering marvel. Born to operate in the most demanding conditions under 30 years of electrical abuse, blizzards, dust-storms and everything in between, Reclosers have been the go-to solution for most distribution network engineers since their invention eons ago.
