Enhance your resilience, reliability, and operations.

Most overhead lateral faults are costly and avoidable. TripSaver reclosers bring smart fault management to your overhead distribution system to prevent unnecessary outages on blue-sky days and during severe weather.

TripSaver reclosers are designed to be simple to deploy and operate, with features that can help you reduce outages, speed restoration, and streamline your operations and budget.

Improve your fault response and unlock system-wide benefits with lateral automation.

Why Leading Utilities Choose S&C TripSaver Reclosers

Explore the advantages of S&C's single-phase reclosers.

With different ratings and designs to fit your unique system and workflow needs, TripSaver reclosers give you more flexibility and control to achieve your lateral automation goals.

Reduce outages and restore power faster. Up to 80% of faults on laterals are temporary. Smart fault management restores power automatically for temporary faults to avoid outages and isolates permanent faults with a drop-out function to minimize impact and accelerate restoration.

Install and integrate TripSaver reclosers easily using cutouts and extensive programmable curves that simplify device coordination. Crew-friendly features give you more operational control and efficiency.

Lower operating expenses with fewer truck rolls and manual interventions. TripSaver reclosers simplify system upkeep with less required maintenance and inventory.

Measure avoided outages and savings more easily, while gaining deeper grid visibility with device analytics and options like paired sensors.
