  • Patent number: 5804787
    Abstract: For the purpose of providing a gas circuit breaker with a structure of hydraulic pressure operation system capable of detecting the occurrence of an incomplete closed state of the valves therein to prevent their erroneous motion during the subsequent motion, and a liquid-pressure driving system to be used therefor, a check valve is arranged so as to suppress the flow into the space on the side of the downstream of a closed-circuit operation spool valve, wherein the space on the side of the downstream of the closed-circuit operation spool valve is connected through a second diaphragm to a low-pressure oil tank and the operation time or operation number of a liquid-pressure pump is measured.

  • Patent number: 5750950
    Abstract: Occurrence of erroneous operation in which circuit closing operation unexpectedly happens after circuit opening operation even though an abnormality such that a circuit closing system is left in a circuit closing condition even after completion of the circuit closing operation. Accordingly, a circuit closing control valve has such an arrangement that its pilot chamber becomes a low pressure so that the circuit closing control valve is opened, and a lock valve having two pilot chambers connected to a circuit closing pilot valve and a circuit opening pilot valve, which are both become a low pressure, is located in a passage connecting between the pilot chamber of the circuit opening control valve and a return port.
