Survey of Power Systems Reclosing Practices in Pulp and Paper Mills

This paper gives the results of a survey conducted by the Power Distribution System Subcommittee of the Pulp and Paper Industry Committee of the IEEE Industry Applications Society. Its purpose was twofold, 1) to explore utility/mill relaying and electrical tie practices and, 2) to explore and devise safe and expeditious operation practices in reenergizing a circuit after a primary or medium voltage feeder breaker tripout has occurred.
