Patent number: 8804298Abstract: The present invention is provided to satisfy insulation and conductivity performance requirements, to reduce the size of a gas insulated bus, and also to make conditioning for a particle more reliable. In a gas insulated bus having a conductor supported in a cylindrical metal container via an insulator, insulating gas being contained in the metal container, the metal container has an expanded diameter part formed over a given range in an area of the metal container in which the insulator is positioned and a reduced diameter part formed over the entire area of the metal container except for the expanded diameter part. Thus, when the temperature of the insulator increases during conduction, heat from the insulator is transferred to the metal container via a large space in the expanded diameter part and released to the air through a large outer surface of the expanded diameter part of the metal container.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2012Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuro Kato, Toshiaki Rokunohe, Hisashi Urasaki, Ryoichi Shinohara

Patent number: 7256584Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2005Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: Japan AE Power Systems CorporationInventors: Tomohiro Moriyama, Tatsuro Kato, Toshiaki Rokunohe, Fumihiro Endo, Ryoichi Shinohara

Publication number: 20050285604Abstract: A thin film detection electrode is formed on an insulating substrate. The resulting detection electrodes are light-weight, and have a very high dimensional accuracy so that the number of the parts supporting the detection electrodes is small and the size of the detection electrodes becomes very small.

Patent number: 6560091Abstract: In order to shorten the length of connection buses and reduce a cost, in the present invention, a plurality of T-branched circuit breaker units 12 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the T-branch direction, and the plurality of circuit breaker units 12 are connected by first connection bus units 14 and second connection bus units 15 in series alternately in a rectangular wave shape on a horizontal plane of approximately the same height as the T-branch portions of the circuit breaker units 12. Thereby, first connection buses 5 and second connection buses 6 are stretched around on the horizontal plane of the same height as the T-branch portions of the circuit breaker units 12, but not stretched around in an up and down direction. Therefore, the length of the connection buses can be reduced, and the cost also can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2002Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Takahoshi, Keiichi Tsuzura, Ryoichi Shinohara, Rei Henmi, Yoriyuki Aiko, Shunji Ito
