Cooper Form 6 Control
Cooper Form 6 Control
(OP)
Hope it's ok to drop names. We have only 3 Cooper f6 controllers in our system many older f4 f3 f3a and f5. My question is have any of you run into problems with the Cooper Form 6 controls. I have made plans to "upgrade" all of our controls to the f6. But meeting with an engineer with more years of experience than myself yesterday he suggested that they are junk and don't last. I haven't had any go bad in the last 7 years but just wanted a second, third opinion before I scrap the plan.
Thanks.
Thanks.






RE: Cooper Form 6 Control
I'm not a particular fan of the Form 6, but I'd definitely recommend replacing the Form 3A and Form 5 units with something. The Form 3A is ancient and never very good to begin with and the Form 5 was much more troublesome than the Form 6 has been.
However, you may want to look at the offerings from SEL - SEL-351R, etc. The main issue with the SEL units is compatibility with the recloser itself, but they can tell what reclosers they can interface with. SEL customer service and support is superior to Cooper, IMO.
