Abstract: An electrical energy transmission device for the transmission of electrical energy has a fluid-holding chamber. An electrically insulating fluid is contained in the fluid-holding chamber. The electrically insulating fluid is, at least in part, air-drawn from the surroundings of the electrical energy transmission device. The insulating fluid is used for insulating phase conductors in order to avoid short circuit conditions.

A thermal energy storage system for a sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) insulated circuit breaker system having a tank storing a quantity of SF6 includes a thermal capacitor operative to store heat energy and constructed to engage the tank and conduct the heat energy to the SF6 in the tank.

Abstract: A gas circuit breaker includes a driving side electrode having a driving side main contact and a driving side arc contact, and a driven side electrode having a driven side main contact and a driven side arc contact in a sealed tank. The driving side electrode is connected to an operation device. The driven side electrode is coupled to a bidirectional driving mechanism unit. A sliding guide, on which the driven side main contact slides, is provided on an inner periphery side of the driven side main contact. The driven side main contact is energized by a coil spring in a direction of the sliding guide and has two contact surfaces. Only during normal conduction, one of the contact surfaces contacts a projected portion of the sliding guide and the other of the contact surfaces contacts the driving side main contact.

Abstract: Liquid-filled high voltage switching units and electrical components including a primary tank and a secondary tank that do not communicate with one another in normal operation.

Abstract: A power station switch having high nominal current, the switch comprising a break chamber containing a dielectric gas under pressure and mounted inside a protective sheath which may optionally carry a general flow of cooling air, and a radiator/heat-exchanger situated outside said sheath and connected to said break chamber in which said gas under pressure is put into continuous circulation. Said gas under pressure as cooled in the radiator/heat-exchanger is returned to the break chamber via a metal case of the break chamber that is designed to be grounded.

Abstract: The section of an electrical high-voltage system has a gas-filled housing of predominantly symmetrical design. Provided in the housing are a conductor extending along a plane of symmetry of the housing, and cooling means for producing a circulation flow which dissipates heat loss from the conductor. The cooling means contains two blowers. The blowers are arranged in the interior of the housing and designed in such a way that, during the operation of the system, two mirror-symmetrical circulation part flows are formed which are bounded by the plane of symmetry. These circulation part flows are in each case guided without recirculation along a housing side wall from the top of the housing or the bottom of the housing. By this means, the heat loss is given up particularly effectively to the housing side walls, and the conductor can be loaded with very high operating currents.
