  • Patent number: 6560091
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 4503481
    Abstract: A gas insulated switchgear equipment in which three circuit breakers are electrically connected in series between two main bus bars. The two main buses are parallelly mounted on a fixing base. The three circuit breakers are arranged on one side of the main buses and aligned in the axial direction of the main buses. Connecting buses for electrically connecting the circuit breakers are provided on one side of the circuit breakers where the main bus bars are also disposed. Thus, the circuit breakers are accessible from the other side thereof for their maintenance and inspection and the equipment mounting area can be minimized because the main buses are disposed in parallel.
