Abstract: A device (1) for supporting an equipment (2), especially an upstanding electrical equipment from vibrations is disclosed. The device comprises a base plate (3), a set of support adapters (7), a set of viscous dampers (5) connecting the base plate to the support adapters and a set of wire rope dampers (6), wherein the set of wire rope dampers bear the base plate and connect the base plate to the support adapters. Further, the set of support adapters connect the viscous dampers and the wire rope dampers to a foundation plate by bolts or alternatively to a shake table via shake table adapters. A set of angular fixtures connect the support adapters to the base plate by means of the viscous dampers. In a preferred embodiment of the device the base plate is orthogonally shaped.

Abstract: A damping configuration for an oscillatably mounted, electrical energy transmission device includes a supporting frame which is connected to stationary abutments through a plurality of damping elements. A group of first and second damping elements which have damping rates dimensioned so as to differ from one another and which act in parallel, connect the supporting frame to the abutments. Favorable damping of both weaker and stronger movements, for example caused by an earthquake, is ensured due to a combination of damping elements having differently dimensioned damping rates.

Abstract: In a grounding switch for an encased high-voltage switching system, the movable switching piece is moved by a rotating drive shaft. This drive shaft passes through the housing of the grounding switch. To design the contact elements that transfer the ground potential to the movable switching piece as simply as possible, the drive shaft consists of electrically conductive material. In addition, the drive shaft is insulated as it enters the housing. The drive shaft is also coupled with means to transfer the ground potential, e.g., a current strip, outside the housing. Thus, the drive shaft serves both to transfer force and to transfer potential. A switch blade is designed to be elastically deformable in part, and serves as the movable switching piece. This grounding switch for an encased, compressed-gas-insulated high-voltage switching system can also be used as an insulated grounding switch to carry out measurements.
