2 Theory of operation
The auto-reclosing function first co-operates with the line protection func-
tions, the trip function, the circuit-breaker and the synchro-check func-
tion. It can also be influenced by other protection functions such as shunt
reactor protection through binary input signals, AR On/Off manual con-
trol. It can provide information to the disturbance and service report func-
tions, event recording, indications, and reclosing operation counters.
The reclosing counters can be read and reset on the built-in MMI:

ARCounters
The auto-reclosing is a purely logical function that works with logical or
binary signals, logical operations, and timers.
