Product Profile

Product Profile

EKR5 Series Recloser is a reclosing device compatible with switch control and RS485 remote control, designed for use with RCCBs. It features an automatic reclosing function that attempts to restart up to three times. If a line protection device trips due to manual opening, short circuit, leakage, or overload, the EKR5 will automatically attempt to restore power, enhancing the reliability of the power supply system. This device is extensively used in areas such as home smart power distribution and photovoltaic equipment.

  • Supports switch control or RS485 control of RCCB, remote closing and opening
  • Type R has automatic reclosing function (3 times)
  • Includes manual/automatic selector switch
  • Working status indicated by LED
  • Operating mechanism only 18mm wide
  • Padlock can secure the circuit breaker in the open position for onsite safety
