S&C and SEL partner on interoperable grid control solution with 95% lower fault-test energy

S&C Electric Company has announced a collaboration with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories on the upcoming SEL-651RD Advanced Digital Control, expanding interoperability for its IntelliRupter PulseCloser Fault Interrupter. The partnership combines S&C's PulseClosing Technology, which uses 95% less energy than conventional reclosers, with SEL's protection and automation capabilities. The solution uses a fiber-optic interface based on IEC 61869 Sampled Values, simplifying installation and improving measurement accuracy compared to traditional analog cabling. The SEL-651RD will serve as an additional control option for both new and existing IntelliRupter installations, enabling utilities already standardised on SEL to integrate the technology seamlessly. The SEL-651RD is expected to be available for retrofit applications in Q4 2026, with further deployment options planned for 2027.
