Optimizing your outage management system with automatic reclosers significantly reduces costly truck rolls and boosts overall grid efficiency.
Automatic reclosers minimize truck dispatches for transient faults.
Reducing truck rolls saves substantial operational costs.
Improved SAIDI/SAIFI metrics enhance grid reliability.
Every blown fuse often requires dispatching a repair crew—a costly, inefficient step in managing outages. Utilities report each truck roll can cost hundreds of dollars, adding significantly to operational expenses and prolonging outage durations.
Smart automatic reclosers, such as Siemens Compact Modular Reclosers (CMRs), greatly enhance outage management systems by quickly clearing transient faults. This dramatically reduces the frequency of crew dispatches, directly lowering maintenance costs and operational delays.
"The CMR™ compact modular recloser provides a new approach without the high cost of pole-mounted control cubicles and auxiliary supplies of the modern recloser and without the protection limitations and maintenance costs of hydraulic reclosers."
Replacing traditional fuses with automatic reclosers significantly decreases the frequency of crew deployments. By cutting down truck rolls, utilities save on direct costs associated with crew dispatch and indirect costs such as customer dissatisfaction and lost productivity.
Fewer truck rolls result in shorter outages, improving critical reliability metrics like System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI). These enhancements translate into improved customer satisfaction and regulatory compliance.
Integrating automatic reclosers into your outage management system dramatically reduces truck rolls, operational costs, and outage durations, delivering a more reliable and cost-effective power distribution system.
If you’re looking to upgrade your outage management system and streamline truck roll response, Below 38KV can help. We specialize in helping utilities modernize with smart, scalable solutions like Siemens’ CMRs.

1. How do automatic reclosers reduce truck rolls?
Automatic reclosers like Siemens’ CMRs detect and clear transient faults autonomously, eliminating the need for manual fuse replacements and reducing the frequency of dispatching repair crews.
2. What impact do reclosers have on SAIDI and SAIFI metrics?
By minimizing outage durations and frequencies through rapid fault clearing, reclosers improve System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), leading to enhanced grid reliability.
3. Are Siemens’ CMRs suitable for both urban and rural applications?
Yes, Siemens’ CMRs are designed for versatility, offering reliable performance in diverse environments, including areas with inconsistent line current, making them ideal for both urban and rural distribution networks.
