  • Patent number: 5712756
    Abstract: A substation includes standard arresters installed near a bushing of a power transmission line entrance and at a connecting bus of a transformer and one or more high voltage arresters having a discharge voltage 10 to 30% higher than a standard arrester. Each high voltage arrester uses zinc oxide elements and is disposed on a line side of a line entrance breaker and/or near an open end of a double main bus in the substation.

  • Patent number: 5585996
    Abstract: In order to provide an arrestor for a gas insulated switchgear in which the voltage share rates of respective zinc oxide non-linear resistance elements are made uniform, in an arrestor constituted by a plurality of columns for a gas insulated switchgear, the thickness or the capacitance of insulator spacers contacting the high voltage terminal or the ground terminal in respective columns is controlled, whereby the potentials of the zinc oxide non-linear resistance elements close to the high voltage terminal or to the ground terminal in the respective columns are shifted close to the potentials of the high voltage terminal or the ground terminal.

  • Patent number: 5373279
    Abstract: An arrester for a gas insulated switchgear device includes a closed container filled with an insulating gas; a columnar piled body formed by piling up a plurality of zinc oxide resistance elements between a high voltage side terminal and a grounding side terminal disposed in the closed container; a plurality of potential equalizing rings electrically and mechanically connected to the high voltage side terminal of the columnar piled body, the potential equalizing rings being disposed in a discrete manner along the piling up direction of the zinc oxide resistance elements with a predetermined spacing distance while surrounding the outer circumference of the columnar piled body; and an intermediate electrode disposed around the columnar piled body at a position facing the potential equalizing ring located nearest to the grounding side terminal among the potential equalizing rings.
