[Industry Information] Optimizing Distribution Network Protection: Coordination Between Compact Modular Reclosers and Transformers 04-30-2025
Distribution transformers and Compact Modular Reclosers (CMRs) form a coordinated protection and automation solution on medium-voltage overhead networks. Transformers step down voltage for end-use, while CMRs detect and interrupt faults upstream—discriminating transformer inrush, coordinating with transformer protection relays, and automatically restoring service. Together they minimize outages, protect equipment health, and support smart-grid functions such as FLISR and condition-based maintenance.
