The invention relates to a single-phase, equipotential, self-powered recloser with a load life of more than 20 years, for installing in 15 KV medium-voltage networks, directly on Matthews-type fuse bases, using hooksticks, and without requiring the interruption of the energy supply. Said recloser uses a bistable electromagnetic actuator that controls a vacuum bulb for interrupting the current in the event of a fault. It stores energy in ultracapacitor banks which receive the first charge by means of an induction coil.

A system may include a relay device. The relay device may include an armature that moves between a first position that electrically couples a first contact to a second contact and a second position that electrically uncouples the first contact from the second contact. The relay device may also include a relay coil that receives a voltage configured to magnetize a relay coil, thereby causing the armature to move from the first position to the second position. The system also includes a control system that receives an indication that the armature is in the second position and sends a signal to an actuator in response to receiving the indication. The signal causes an arm associated with the actuator to move the armature to achieve a gap distance between the first contact and the second contact.
