Patent number: 10256058Abstract: A switchgear includes a first contact capable of reciprocating along a motion axis, and a second contact. The second contact includes a facing unit movable in a first direction from the first contact toward the second contact when the facing unit is pushed in by the first contact, a spaced unit spaced from the axis and urged in a direction toward the axis, and a regulating unit coupled to the facing unit. The spaced unit abuts on the regulating unit to restrict movement of the spaced unit in the direction toward the axis as the facing unit is located in the second direction. The spaced unit is released from abutment on the regulating unit to move in the direction toward the axis into abutment on the first contact as the facing unit moves in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2015Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Masahiro Fujioka, Hitoshi Sadakuni, Masato Kawahigashi, Shinichiro Nakauchi

Patent number: 10096979Abstract: A gas-insulated electrical device includes a covering film covering an inner surface of a ground tank filled with an insulation gas. The covering film is formed of an insulation dielectric covering film that becomes more positively charged than metals in a triboelectric series, and becomes positively charged upon contact with metal foreign matter. At the same time, the metal foreign matter becomes negatively charged upon contact with the covering film. In a case where the high-voltage conductor is charged to a negative polarity, a Coulomb's force acts on the metal foreign matter in contact with the covering film in a direction away from the high-voltage conductor. The metal foreign matter in the ground tank is thus suppressed from floating.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2014Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Manabu Yoshimura, Takashi Miyamoto, Soichiro Kainaga, Hitoshi Sadakuni

Patent number: 8520368Abstract: An object is to provide gas insulated switchgear that is able to inhibit heat generation of a pressure container. Electrically-conductive members that are non-magnetic and have higher electric conductivity than that of the material of which the pressure container is made, are provided on the inside and on the outside of the pressure container, while being positioned along a main bus and being attached via a flange of the pressure container. Thus, eddy current that occurs when an electric current flows through the main bus are caused to flow through the electrically-conductive members having higher electric conductivity than that of the pressure container. Also, a current return path for the eddy current is formed by a flow path including the electrically-conductive members. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the eddy current flowing on the pressure container and to inhibit an increase in the temperature of the pressure container.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2008Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Kazuki Takahashi, Mitsuru Tsukima, Hitoshi Sadakuni
