OSM Recloser
A Testament to Safety and Reliability in Distribution Switchgear
OSM Recloser
Introduction – Overview

At the forefront of switchgear technology, the NOJA Power OSM Recloser

represents the state of the art in distribution switchgear. This rugged
unit provides unrivalled safety, reliability and innovation, with a pedigree
unmatched by any other distribution switchgear equipment.

Proven through over 90,000 global installations in more than 104 countries
over the full industrial temperature range, this stainless-steel paragon is
deserved of its reputation as the world’s ultimate recloser.

Meticulously hand crafted in Australia and fully type tested to industry stan-
dards, the OSM Recloser delivers exceptional performance in even the
most demanding environments. Through use of solid dielectric insulation
and vacuum interruption technology, the OSM Recloser is maintenance
free and easy to install.

OSM Reclosers sport class defining voltage and current sensors with
exceptional accuracy and precision. Driven by patented proprietary design,
the OSM Recloser achieves current protection resolution increments of
100mA, a feat yet unmatched in other integrated distribution protection
assets. Advanced protection capabilities including Synchrocheck, Broken
Conductor Protection and Admittance protection equip protection engi-
neers with the tools to drive unprecedented network reliability, even as the
distribution grid becomes more complex.

Deployed as a Recloser, Sectionaliser or Automated Switch, the versatility

and operation simplicity of the OSM Recloser has solved thousands of
protection and automation challenges around the globe, from out on the
feeders to inside the substation.

As the world transitions to distributed energy and renewable integration,

OSM Reclosers provide simple, safe, power system reliability in growing
network complexity.

This is the OSM Recloser.
