Where are reclosers typically located?

Reclosers are typically found on distribution feeders and substations. This is because they play a crucial role in the management of power distribution by automatically interrupting the flow of electricity in the event of a fault and re-energizing the line after a short period. This function helps to maintain system reliability and reduce outage times for large sections of the distribution network.

In distribution feeders, reclosers help protect transformers and other equipment by isolating faults and allowing power to continue flowing to unaffected sections. Placing reclosers at substations allows for greater control over the electrical grid, as they can manage multiple feeder lines and help protect the infrastructure that supplies electricity to residential and commercial areas.

The other options do not typically serve as locations for reclosers. Residential areas might experience faults, but reclosers are not installed at individual homes due to the need for higher voltage management found in distribution systems. Similarly, underground systems may have different configurations that do not involve reclosers directly, and customer endpoints are typically the final delivery point and not designed for equipment that manages network reliability at a larger scale.
