Perch

A pole-mounted remote auto-recloser for overhead LV networks.

How Perch Helps

Storms cause brief faults on overhead lines that rupture fuses and delay restoration. Perch solves this by safely and automatically restoring power. Using Camlin Energy’s proven Weezap technology, it recloses within 15 seconds after a fault has occurred, avoiding fuse replacement trips. This reduces penalties, cuts operational costs, and communicates with network systems to give you remote monitoring and control.

What Perch Delivers

Circuit protection

Opens the breaker during overloads or faults to protect the network.

High current rating

Handles fault currents of up to 35kA and rated at 400A.

Overload monitoring

Tracks overloads and evaluates their duration and severity.

SCADA integration

Communicates with SCADA for seamless network control.

Strengthening Storm Resilience on Overhead LV Networks

During Storm Arwen, over a million homes lost power for many days due to transient faults and repeated damage going undetected while circuits were de-energised. But this could have been avoided.

Perch plays a critical role in building a more resilient overhead LV networks. By restoring supply automatically after temporary faults, Perch reduces outage durations, frees up field resources and helps networks stay ahead of cascading issues even in the midst of severe weather.
