Abstract:Reclosing is the effective way to improve the reliability of power supply in power system. At present,most of 10 kV lines in rural distribution network are equipped with reclosing devices,but the success rate of reclosing is generally not high in actual operation. Aiming at this problem,firstly the reclosing time setting principle is summarized,and then the related factors influencing the success rate of 10 kV line reclosing in rural distribution network are analyzed in detail. Finally based on the definition and requirements of short - time power outages,some suggestions are put forward,which provides a reference for improving the success rate of 10 kV line reclosing in rural distribution network.
