Rockwill RCW series automatic circuit reclosers are designed for overhead distribution lines and distribution substations, providing reliable fault interruption and automatic reclosure to minimize outage time. Integrating control, protection, measurement, communication, fault detection, and real-time monitoring of closing and opening operations, they deliver a comprehensive distribution automation solution.
Built around an integration terminal, current transformer, permanent magnetic actuator, and dedicated recloser controller, the solid-dielectric design is maintenance-friendly and suited to outdoor pole mounting. The RCW series is available as a single-phase recloser, three-phase recloser, or triple single-phase recloser, making it suitable for various overhead distribution configurations. Configuration and standards are customizable on request.
The RCW series recloser controller integrates protection, measurement, communication, and operation control in one unit. The front panel provides clear indicators, function keys, and local operation interfaces for setup, testing, and troubleshooting. The controller is designed for reliable outdoor operation and supports customizable protection schemes and communication protocols.

Yes. The RCWP, a cost-optimized option in the RCW+ series, features dual sensors, flagship controller, and 30,000 operations with permanent magnet three-phase linkage, while offering downgrade options (lock box removal, lockout removal, sensor/controller downgrade) so customers pay only for what they need.
Yes. Rockwill vacuum recloser stands behind the RCW series with one of the most comprehensive warranties in the recloser industry: a full 10-year warranty covering the complete recloser, including the vacuum interrupter, permanent magnet operating mechanism, and control electronics.
Any failure resulting from material or manufacturing defects during the warranty period is eligible for free replacement. Our warranty terms are straightforward and transparent, with no hidden conditions or complex exclusions, giving you complete peace of mind.
The ZW32-type VCB is a basic circuit breaker or demarcation switch without built-in auto-reclosing logic, whereas the RCW vacuum recloser is specifically engineered as a full-function recloser with integrated protection, sensors, and communication for smart grid applications.
Unlike the ZW32, which requires an external controller for automation, the RCW series complies with IEC 62271-111 and ANSI C37.60, and is supported by complete type test reports.With silicone rubber or epoxy insulation offering superior aging resistance and low water absorption, the RCW series is the professional choice for international distribution automation projects.
Yes. The solid-dielectric design is maintenance-friendly and suited to outdoor pole mounting. It supports single or double column mounting, making it suitable for pole mounted recloser projects.
The compact structure and lightweight design also help reduce installation time and on-site labor costs. If you are upgrading an existing overhead line, the RCW series can usually be integrated without major structural changes.
Our team provides technical support for controller setup, protection configuration, communication debugging, and after-sales service. Please contact us with your project details, and we will recommend a suitable recloser solution.
Support includes PC software operation, parameter setting, communication testing, and troubleshooting guidance. This helps customers complete commissioning faster and reduce downtime.
The Rockwill standard smart recloser offers high precision with a wide measuring range (2A–16,000A). Simply ensure your normal current is within this standard range when making a selection.
Yes. In addition to the standard 2A–16,000A range, Rockwill provides custom-configured units for ultra-low current measurement and protection in the 0.1A–2A range.
