Global Recloser Market by Phases (Single Phase, Three Phase, Triple Single Phase), By Control (Hydraulic and electric), By Regions - Global Trend & Forecast to 2019

The purpose of this report is to cover the definition, description, and forecast of the global reclosers market. It involves a DeepDive analysis of the market segmentation, which is based on service and geography. The report also provides deep insights into the competitive landscape of the market through a strategic analysis of key players of the market.

The global reclosers market was valued at $760.3 million in 2013 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2014 to 2019 to reach $957.5 million by 2019. This large share is attributed to the ability of the reclosers to restore power sans manual intervention.

The common causes of line disturbances are temporary in nature; however, these temporary disturbances result in frequent line failures. In the case of fuse and circuit breakers, the circuit is opened automatically and manual intervention is required to close the opened circuit. Since more than 80% of the line faults are temporary in nature, it may become a troublesome exercise to close the circuit manually each time.

Reclosers have the ability to automatically close circuits, which have opened due to temporary overloads or short circuits. Reclosers facilitate immediate reactions to the line faults. It has an additional mechanism, which closes the circuit after few seconds of the circuits being opened. If the fault still continues, then reclosers reopen the circuit and try to reconnect after few seconds. This saves time and efforts, which are to be put in to close the circuit, manually.

The report classifies the global reclosers market into different phases and controls. On the basis of phase, the market is segmented into three-phase, single-phase, and triple-phase closers, whereas by control it is segmented into electric recloser and hydraulic recloser.

The report provides a DeepDive analysis of the enriched reclosers’ product portfolio of leading players in the global reclosers market such as Cooper Industries (Eaton Corp.) (Ireland), ABB Ltd. (Switzerland), G&W Electric (U.S.), and Schneider Electric SE (France)

An autorecloser or a recloser, in electric power distribution, is an advanced type of circuit breaker with a mechanism to automatically close the circuit after temporary interruptions. These are predominantly used in distribution networks along the feeder lines, for electrical protection. A recloser has the ability to detect phase and phase‐to‐ground overcurrent conditions, to interrupt the circuit if the overcurrent continues after a predetermined time, and then automatically reclose the line. If the fault that initiated the operation still exists, then the recloser will stay open after a preset number of operations, thus detaching the faulted section from the rest of the system. In an overhead distribution system, 70% to 90%of the faults are of temporary nature and they last, at the most, for a few cycles or seconds. Thus, the recloser, with its opening/closing characteristic, prevents a distribution circuit from being left out of service for temporary faults.

Typically, reclosers are designed to have up to three open‐close operations and a final open operation to lock out the sequence. Following the actions of the recloser, one closing operation by manual means is usually allowed. The counting mechanisms register operations of the phase or ground‐fault units, which can also be initiated by externally controlled devices. Single‐phase reclosers are used when the load is predominantly single‐phase. In these cases, when a single‐phase fault occurs, the recloser should permanently disconnect the faulted phase so that supplies are maintained on the other phases. Three‐phase reclosers are used when it is necessary to disconnect all three phases in order to prevent unbalanced loading on the system.

Reclosers with hydraulic operating mechanisms have a disconnecting coil in series with the line. When the current exceeds the setting value, the coil attracts a piston, which thereby opens the main recloser contact and interrupts the circuit. The electric type of control mechanism is generally located outside the recloser and receives current signals. When the current exceeds the predetermined setting, a delayed shot is initiated, which finally results in a tripping signal being transmitted to the recloser control mechanism.

Factors such as no manual interventions to restore power; reliability; customer outage cost reduction; automation/data collection ability of reclosers; growth of power distribution networks; and customers’ motivation to install reclosers and advanced systems are expected to drive the recloser market in the coming years.

The global recloser market was valued at $760.3 million in 2013 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2014 to 2019 to reach $957.5 million by 2019. The North American market accounts for a major market share of 41.4%, whereas the Asia-Pacific market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 5.5% from 2014 to 2019. The three phase reclosers segment is expected to continue its dominance over the other segments by gaining about 83% of the global market in the coming years. In the controls segment of the recloser market, the electric control segment will dominate the market, as hydraulic reclosers are gradually being replaced by the former, globally.
