Switchgear engineering firm NOJA Power has released a new controller for their OSM Recloser products, named the RC-03.

The RC-03 is an entry-level controller for NOJA Power’s suite of switchgear. Built on the same core field-proven RC-10 Recloser Control electronics, the RC-03 achieves cost optimisations through multiple specification updates.

An added benefit of this design is the increased simplicity for operators while retaining the power and flexibility of product application for Protection and SCADA engineers.

While both the RC-03 and RC-10 share the same core electronics, firmware, and control software, there is a key list of differentiators between these units. This makes NOJA Power’s OSM Recloser system with RC-03 control financially viable for a larger range of network applications.

The RC-03 includes consolidation of all discrete modules into a single Control Module and the removal of the large screen HMI which has been replaced by a set of buttons mounted directly onto the control module, and an optional mobile HMI application replicating the standard RC-10 HMI.

When paired with the new OSM15-12-630-310 Recloser, the RC-03 offers the most cost-effective three-phase recloser package available from NOJA Power.

“Whilst the RC-03 is our new entry-level control it still has all of the power functionality and capability of the RC-10 product but packaged into a more economical hardware solution,” NOJA Power group managing director Neil O’Sullivan says.

“Combined with NOJA Power HMI app available from Apple and Android stores, the HMI that has been removed in the reduced cost variant, it is available as an app instead to enjoy the same HMI functionality in your hands.”
