Designed for utilities by utilities, these automation-ready vacuum reclosers combine user-friendly design with reliable fault detection and protection, all while minimizing maintenance and overcoming common operation challenges.
Southern States' Gold Eagle 3-Phase Reclosers provide reliable vacuum fault interruption designed to enhance utility system reliability, reduce operational costs, and increase flexibility. Available in ganged and triple-single configurations, these reclosers offer the versatility to meet diverse operating needs, with flexible mounting options for pole top, substation, or padmount. With multiple programmable controller options available—including SEL, Beckwith, and Siemens—these reclosers integrate seamlessly into a utility’s existing infrastructure.
Vacuum interrupters are encapsulated in hydrophobic cycloaliphatic epoxy (HCEP) for durability in harsh environments. The design includes a 360° position indicator, fault indication LEDs, current and voltage sensors, and rugged 304 stainless steel construction, all of which contribute to long service life and reduced maintenance. This all-in-one solution helps utilities minimize training time, simplify inventory, and support flexible deployment strategies.
