Abstract: The gas-insulated, metal-enclosed switchgear assembly contains two, three or more switchpanels, each having a multipole power breaker (CB.sub.1, CB.sub.2, CB.sub.3, CB.sub.4) as well as isolating and grounding switches per switch pole (CB.sub.1R) and is designed like a ring or in a 11/2 power-breaker circuit. The switch poles of the power breakers are each of identical design and are arranged parallel to one another. The switchpanels each have one current path of U-shaped design per phase in a vertical plane, in which current path the base of the U contains a vertically aligned pole of the power breaker, and the two limbs of the U each contain an electrical connection of the power breaker and an isolating as well as a grounding switch. The upper limbs of the U of one of the switchpanels are connected phase-by-phase to the lower limbs (S.sub.u) of another of the switchpanels, by means of respective single-phase gas pipelines (L.sub.12 (R), L.sub.23 (R), L.sub.

Abstract: A panelboard/switchboard assembly for accommodating bolt-on modules, plug-in modules and lugs. The panelboard/switchboard includes vertical, edge forward bus bars having a plurality of openings formed therein. The edge forward alignment allows plug-in modules to be mounted to the bus bars. The openings in the bus bars receive bolts for mounting straps to the bus bars and for mounting lugs to the bus bars. The openings have a shape having at least one linear element and receive a bolt having an anti-rotation portion with a similar shape. The interference between the opening and the anti-rotation portion of the bolt prevents the straps, and the modules connected to the straps, from rotating.

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.

Abstract: The arrestors of a compact gas insulated switchgear are to be connected to gas insulated main buses. The arrestors represent three phases, and are arranged in such a manner that the distance from a main bus which is located at the outermost position among a plurality of main buses to at least one arrestor for one phase is differentiated from the distances from the outermost main bus to at least one of the remaining arrestors. As a result, the area or the width required for installing the arrestors is minimized, the length of the main buses is shortened, and the installation area of the gas insulated switchgear as a whole can be reduced.

The bus sectioning and bus tieing gas insulated switchgear units are respectively constituted by a vertical type circuit breaker, and the main bus potential transformer and the main bus work earthing switch provided for one of two main buses. When the vertically disposed circuit breaker is used for the bus sectioning and the bus tieing gas insulated switchgear units, the entire device is decreased in size in the horizontal direction.

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.
