  • Publication number: 20240087805
    Abstract: A transformer arrangement includes a transformer, a transformer tank and at least one tap changer that is arranged to be connected to said transformer. The transformer arrangement further includes at least one support structure which is arranged to be connected to the tap changer and to extend between the tap changer and at least two support members located between the tap changer and at least two points on an inner surface of the transformer tank. The at least one support structure is arranged to reduce pendular movement of the tap changer.

  • Patent number: 6433271
    Abstract: In order to make switchgear equipped with a busbar system for high voltages/current strengths less space-consuming, and to simplify the jointing and connection of the busbars and therewith also simplify manufacture and assembly of the busbar system, the busbars of the system have been given the form of tubes. A tubular cylindrical busbar is jointed/connected with the aid of a conductive contact element (9) in the form of a ring-shaped coil spring located between the insertion end (6) of one tube and an insertion end (7) of an adjacent tube. As the insertion end carrying the spring is inserted into a receiving end of an adjacent tube when joining two tubes together, the spring is compressed and remains compressed while exerting a pressure and holding force on the two tube ends.

  • Patent number: 6229690
    Abstract: The invention concerns a horizontally divided switchgear, including compartments for high voltage and for cable connection. The cable connection compartment is common to one or more switchgear cubicles and is a compartment separated from the high voltage compartment(s) of the cubicle(s). In the switchgear is included one or more switchgear cubicles defined by vertical (12, 13, 14) and horizontal (15, 16) walls. The cubicle is arranged with only high voltage equipment, while connection means (18) for incoming and outgoing current cables are arranged exteriorly underneath the lower horizontal wall (16) of the cubicle. Bushing means (17) for cable conections are arranged in the lower horizontal wall (16).

  • Patent number: 6205018
    Abstract: With the intention of simplifying the replacement of an operating device (4) of an air insulated switchgear (1) having a power circuit breaker (3), the operating device has been made dockable. By dockable is meant that the operating device can be readily removed from and replaced on the circuit breaker, i.e. can be separated from and connected to the circuit breaker without needing to influence the function thereof. This has been made possible by providing the operating device with guide parts, such as a splined, rotatable outward shaft, and by providing the switchgear with guide parts which correspond to and receive the guide parts on said shaft, for instance a splined hole provided in a shaft for operating the circuit breaker and receiving and cooperating with the splined shaft. In modern switchgear, the operating device is damaged more often than the circuit breaker, and a dockable operating device enables the device to be removed readily without affecting the circuit breaker function.
