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 to 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 for a few cycles or seconds.

The North American recloser market has been segmented on the basis of phase, control, and country. On the basis of phase, the market covers single phase, three phase, and triple-single reclosers. In terms of controls, the market includes electric and hydraulic. The market is further segmented on the basis of countries which include the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The U.S. accounted the maximum market share in this market due to presence of strong grids and robust distribution network. Most of the feeder lines in this country are already been installed with reclosers. Canada is fastest-growing market in North America. Triple-single phase segment is expected to grow at highest rate in this country.

Hydraulic recloser control is used in most single-phase and some three-phase recloser. The hydraulic recloser market accounts a smaller share in the North American region as compared to the electric recloser market throughout the forecast period because it is difficult to configure hydraulic reclosers and their maintenance cost is relatively high. In North America, the triple-single recloser segment is expected to grow at a higher rate. This is because major advantage of triple-single reclosers, i.e. single-phase tripping. It trips only that phase/circuit with fluctuating current instead of tripping all the three phases. The demand for triple-single reclosers will be driven by developed region where triple-single reclosers will replace the already-in-use three-phase recloser.

Companies, such as ABB Ltd. (SWITZERLAND), Cooper Industries (IRELAND), G & W Electric (U.S.), Hubble Incorporated (U.S.) have accounted the major share of this market. The company operates as a power and automation technology company and provides solution for energy-efficient generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity.

Factors, such as no manual interventions for restoring 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. More advanced Triple-single recloser attracting more users while in developing regions like Mexico, Single Phase is the dominating one.
