  • Patent number: 8629367
    Abstract: A gas-insulated switchgear assembly having a first module and a second module, which each have a gas area, which is in the form of a pressure vessel, is filled with an insulating gas and has at least two phase conductors. The first module is connected to the second module such that the first gas area and the second gas area are hydraulically separated from one another by an insulating body, while the phase conductors in the first module are electrically connected to the phase conductors at the same electrical potential in the second module. The at least two phase conductors in the first module can be electrically connected to the at least two phase conductors at the same electrical potential in the second module, in each case via a detachable plug connection.

  • Patent number: 8000087
    Abstract: Each integral unit is structured by arranging partial units (I), (II), and (Ill) side by side, while line-side devices are branched from positions between the partial units adjacent to each other. Each of the partial units is structured by connecting a current transformer and a disconnector in sequence to each of upper and lower outlets horizontally drawn out from a lateral face of a vertical-type circuit breaker in the same direction. Any two partial units positioned adjacent to each other are connected in series by connecting the disconnectors included therein with a connection bus. The line-side devices are positioned to oppose the circuit breakers while the disconnectors are interposed therebetween. The switchgear includes a plurality of integral units. Two ends of each of the integral units are respectively connected to two main buses that are provided in an upper position and a lower position while the disconnectors are interposed therebetween.

  • Patent number: 7515398
    Abstract: In a one-and-a-half circuit breaker system gas-insulated switchgear assembly for three-phase AC transmission, the circuit breakers are located on a common horizontal floor directed in Y direction. First main bus bars extending in X direction are located above the first circuit breakers. The positions of the first main bus bars in different phases are different from one another only in height. Similarly, the second main bus bars extending in X direction are located above the third circuit breakers. Each phase of the main bus bars and disconnecting switches is located in a common horizontal plane. The heights are different for different phases. Relative locations of the disconnecting switches are substantially common for every phase horizontally, but are shifted in the X direction.

  • Patent number: 6229690
    Abstract: The invention concerns a horizontally divided switchgear, including compartments for high voltage and for cable connection. The cable connection compartment is common to one or more switchgear cubicles and is a compartment separated from the high voltage compartment(s) of the cubicle(s). In the switchgear is included one or more switchgear cubicles defined by vertical (12, 13, 14) and horizontal (15, 16) walls. The cubicle is arranged with only high voltage equipment, while connection means (18) for incoming and outgoing current cables are arranged exteriorly underneath the lower horizontal wall (16) of the cubicle. Bushing means (17) for cable conections are arranged in the lower horizontal wall (16).

  • Patent number: 5991148
    Abstract: This metal-enclosed, gas-insulated switchgear assembly is provided with at least one multiphase switch panel which is mounted on a foundation surface (8), with in each case at least one power breaker (1, 2, 3) per phase which extends along a longitudinal axis (4, 5, 6), these longitudinal axes (4, 5, 6) being arranged in a first plane, with at least one busbar system which is arranged in at least a second plane and extends along busbar axes (13, 14, 15) and in which the busbar axes (13, 14, 15) have a distance (s) between them. The distance between centers between a first connecting stub (16, 17, 18) and a second connecting stub (25, 26, 27) of the power breaker (1, 2, 3) is at least three times and at most four times as great as the distance (s) between the busbar axes (13, 14, 15). The power breakers (1, 2, 3) may be arranged offset and aligned in a row, resulting in very compact switch panels.

  • Patent number: 5757614
    Abstract: A gas insulated switchgear device of a double bus type which is accommodated in a metal container filled with SF.sub.6 gas includes first and second gas insulated main buses disposed horizontally and substantially in parallel with each other. Bus sectioning units section each of the first and second main buses into first and second sections. The bus sectioning units include auxiliary buses disposed outside of said first and second main buses. A branching bus connects one end of the first main bus with one end of one of the auxiliary buses via a circuit breaker. Another branching bus connects the other end of the first main bus with the other end of the one of the auxiliary buses. Still another branching bus connects one end of the second main bus with one end of another auxiliary bus. A further branching bus connects the other end of the second main bus with the other end of the other auxiliary bus. Potential transformers are provided along the branching buses.

  • Patent number: 5578805
    Abstract: A metal-enclosed, gas-filled switchgear unit has at least two busbar systems and a circuit breaker which respectively has per pole a pole axis and at least one arcing chamber built into a pole housing constructed as a metal enclosure. The pole axes are arranged perpendicular to a foundation and lie in a first plane. Furthermore, the switchgear unit respectively has an electrically conductive connection, extending along a connecting axis, between the live arcing chamber of the respective pole and each of the busbar systems. A metal-enclosed, gas-filled switchgear unit is provided in which the insulation and the fastening of the arcing chambers of the circuit breaker poles are substantially simplified and reduced in cost. The arcing chamber is connected in a force-closed fashion to the at least two current terminals and the arcing chamber is positioned by these alone in the metal enclosure.
