  • Method for increasing the dielectric withstand strength in an electrical apparatus, and apparatus having an improved dielectric strength according to this method
    Patent number: 10829253
    Abstract: A method for increasing the dielectric withstand strength in the enclosure E of an electrical apparatus, this method consisting in placing in the enclosure a dielectric material in liquid or solid form, then in bringing this material to a temperature and/or a pressure allowing for its total or partial evaporation in the enclosure. This method includes a device for retaining the abovementioned material in its container during the handling allowing the placement of the container in the enclosure E, and a device for inducing the evaporation of this material at a certain moment after this placement in the enclosure E and for allowing the dispersion of the gases resulting from this evaporation in the enclosure E.
    Type: Grant

  • Electrical switchgear, in particular switchgear for medium voltage
    Patent number: 9118170
    Abstract: Described is a distribution panel for electrical switchgear, in particular for medium-voltage distribution switchgear. The distribution panel is provided, in at least one embodiment, with at least one bus bar and at least one transfer rail, wherein the bus bar is connected via a circuit breaker to an outlet terminal and wherein the transfer rail is also connected to the outlet terminal. The circuit breaker, in at least one embodiment, is housed inside a circuit breaker housing and the transfer rail and the electrical connection from the transfer rail to the outlet terminal are arranged so as to bypass the circuit breaker housing.
