Abstract: A circuit breaker of different interruption speeds, and a spring operation mechanism is standardized for designing and manufacturing the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker has a power transmission mechanism for driving a movable contact 63 and a fixed contact 64 and an interruption spring 26 that imparts a driving force to separate the contacts through the power transmission mechanism. A latch mechanism restricts movement of the power transmission mechanism, and a pull-out operation section releases the restriction of the power transmission mechanism by the latch mechanism. The pull-out operation section is arranged to oppose a first arm of a lever to rotate the first arm. The lever is arranged so that a tip of a second arm is able to engage with and rest on the latch mechanism, and release the restriction of the power transmission mechanism by the latch mechanism.

Abstract: In an interrupter of a gas circuit breaker that uses springs as a driving source, a contact having a fixed contact and movable contact is opened and closed so as to turn on and off electric power. An operation unit generates driving force for driving the movable contact. A link mechanism interconnects the operation unit and interrupter. The link mechanism has a first lever linked to the operation unit, a second lever linked to the movable contact, and a rotational shaft to which the two levers fit. The operation angle of the first lever with respect to a direction parallel to the motion direction of the movable contact differs depending on whether the contact is open or closed. The gas circuit breaker operates at high speed without the energy of the driving source being increased.

Abstract: A gas-insulated apparatus is equipped with multiple sensors for sensing a partial discharge signal caused by a foreign substance, and a frequency analyzing section for analyzing the frequency of the sensed partial discharge signal. A defect type judging section estimates the defect type of the foreign substance from the signal obtained through the frequency analysis or from the voltage phase distribution of partial discharge synchronized with the frequency of the voltage applied to the gas-insulated apparatus, and a location determining section estimates the defect location and signal intensity from the multiple partial discharge signals. A defect size calculating section estimates the defect size for each defect type from the signal intensity and field distribution at the defect location. Dielectric breakdown risk evaluation is performed based on the defect size and type, and the insulation failure risk is diagnosed from the partial discharge.

Abstract: A puffer type gas circuit breaker has a piston, which is connected with a center shaft via a link mechanism. At an initial stage of an interruption operation, the link mechanism drives a puffer cylinder and the piston both in an interruption direction while maintaining an almost constant distance therebetween. Even when a pressure rise occurs in a compression chamber by the heat of an arc generated in accordance with opening between a fixed arc contact and a movable arc contact, the pressure rise does not become an operation counterforce to an operator. At a final stage of the interruption operation where the fixed arc contact is removed from a throat of an insulating nozzle, the link mechanism drives the piston in an almost stopped status.

Abstract: In the measurement of partial discharge, a voltage detected by an antenna is input to a spectrum analyzer and a phase difference between an operating voltage and a power supply of the spectrum analyzer is obtained by phase domain analysis using the spectrum analyzer. Based on the phase difference and the voltage phase shift associated with the input impedance of a signal converter circuit, the time axis displayed on the screen of the spectrum analyzer is compensated. After the compensation has been carried out, the voltage detected by the antenna is input into the spectrum analyzer and the partial discharge pattern which synchronizes with the operating voltage is measured by phase domain analysis using the spectrum analyzer.

Closing and interrupting pressure accumulators comprise closing and interrupting pressure accumulation pistons, and closing and interrupting pressure accumulation springs for biasing the closing and interrupting pressure accumulation pistons in pressure accumulation directions, respectively. The closing and interrupting pressure accumulation springs exert, on the closing and interrupting pressure accumulation pistons, forces corresponding to received pressures acting on the closing and interrupting pressure accumulation pistons from closing and interrupting pressure accumulation chambers in a steady state. The closing pressure accumulator and the interrupting pressure accumulator are independently constituted for closing and for interrupting, respectively.
