Religador Rocket-3F
The Market’s Challenge
Ensuring technological sustainability and local competitiveness, developing products that not only keep pace with but anticipate the needs of increasingly autonomous and resilient networks.
The rapid expansion of automation in distribution networks, driven by the “first wave” of modernization, has established three-phase reclosers as key components in smart energy systems. However, the market now faces a new challenge: reliance on foreign manufacturers and the need for continuous innovation in a landscape already saturated with established technology solutions. With advanced features such as measurements on both sides of the network and NO (normally open) mode operation, reclosers have become more complex and more integrated.
THREE-PHASE ELECTRICAL GRID PROTECTION AND AUTOMATION
Remote-controlled smart grid solution, with communication via Bluetooth and IoT Network and with low cost and low power consumption
The Solution
The Rocket-3F® Three-Phase Recloser features an embedded, self-powered communication module that enables supervision and telecontrol through SCADA systems via the DNP3.0 protocol.
With low weight and a control box integrated into the power unit, the Rocket-3F is simpler to install and takes up less space on poles, making it ideal for urban circuits as well.

Smart Grid Solution
Protection, telecontrol and communication
Developed and manufactured entirely in Brazil, , the Rocket-3F® Three-Phase Recloser combines protection, communication, automation, and telecontrol functions in a single device.
All of it practical and cost-effective — powered by the latest available IoT communication technologies.
Communication via Bluetooth and IoT Network
Communication and configuration are carried out locally via the Hart Devices App (Bluetooth) or remotely via IoT networks.
Telecontrol via IoT Networks
Using the embedded, self-powered communication module, it is possible to supervise and telecontrol the Rocket-3F® through SCADA systems via the DNP3.0 protocol.
Environment and Sustainability
The polymeric material of the Rocket-3F is 100% recyclable. We use solar panels for power generation and to extend the recloser's autonomy when there is no power supply.
Mechanical Levers
Configurable operating modes for local operation
The Rocket-3F®’s integrated control box has 4 levers for operating the equipment from the ground, using a standard hot stick.
Switch Mode
The recloser's protections are disabled; however, the equipment still reports "fault" events to SCADA according to its settings, effectively operating as a fault sensor — reporting short-circuit level, date and time, etc. When configured as a switch, though, the equipment will not operate automatically in the event of a fault.
Sectionalizer Mode
The Rocket-3F counts fault events that follow the opening and reclosing of an upstream recloser, operating during that recloser's dead time — isolating the fault from the circuit and ensuring that a smaller area is affected by the power outage.
Operating Mode
These modes can be enabled/disabled remotely via the SCADA system or locally via the Hart Devices app.
Technical Characterists
Main technical features of Rocket-3F®
Autonomy guaranteed by supercapacitors (no batteries required)
The Rocket-3F® also has solar panels on its upper base, extending autonomy to more than 24 hours.
100% polymeric body, no risk of corrosion
Control box embedded in the power unit
Bi-stable magnetic actuator, no springs used for operations
Basic operations performed from the ground, using a hot stick
Solar panels for extended autonomy
The use of supercapacitors instead of batteries provides a significant weight reduction and fewer maintenance events, since supercapacitors have a service life similar to that of the recloser itself, eliminating the need for any type of maintenance
Complete equipment weighs less than 70kg
Sensing for measurement
The Rocket-3F® takes voltage measurements on both the source and load sides. Measurement is performed via resistive dividers, ensuring greater accuracy and easier integration with other IEDs.
The Rocket-3F was developed to operate on radial or ring networks
The Rocket-3F can operate in NC (normally closed) or NO (normally open) mode, providing greater flexibility in the utility's use of its assets
The equipment calculates active, reactive, and apparent power, and also reports the power factor for each phase
The Rocket-3F has a minimum pickup of 4A for ground faults and SEF (Sensitive Earth Fault)
Geopositioning that indicates the exact location of the recloser
With an onboard GPS chip, the Rocket-3F dynamically reports the exact fault location to SCADA. No configuration is required, ensuring a fast field crew dispatch in the event of permanent faults.
Regardless of communication with SCADA, the Rocket-3F's internal RTC is always kept up to date. If the equipment is reinstalled in a different location, the new location data (latitude and longitude) is sent to SCADA, preventing registration errors
The reliable timestamp also enables secure local access via the Hart Devices app. The Rocket-3F requests access tokens that vary according to the recloser's date
100% integrable with the most modern IoT networks, particularly LoRa, NB-IoT, and 410/450MHz
The Rocket-3F was designed with integration into the most modern available telecommunication networks as a core premise, with no need for external telecom panels.
Offers the flexibility to adopt new communication technologies that will naturally emerge over its service life, since telecommunication technologies evolve much faster than those used in the electrical sector
The Rocket-3F has a microPCI-e connector that supports LoRa, NB-IoT, 410/450 MHz, and NTN (satellite) modules, with no need to add external telecom panels — reducing the final cost of a SCADA-integrated recloser
The modules are powered by the recloser itself, eliminating the need for any external power infrastructure. The antennas are integrated into the recloser, meaning no external panel or additional structure is required

Cutting-Edge IoT Technology
SCADA Integration with cybersecurity and next-generation connectivity
LoRaWAN and NB-IoT (Internet of Things) technology ensure that data communication between field devices and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems is always secure, because they offer end-to-end data encryption, dedicated to network and application servers.
With integration that is 100% compatible with the most modern IoT networks, the Rocket-3F connects to LoRa, NB-IoT, 410/450 MHz, and NTN networks, eliminating the need for external telecom panels.
