Patent number: 9472926Abstract: A gas-insulated switchgear bay includes at least three circuit breakers, which define a longitudinal direction, for interrupting conductor phases at different electrical potentials. The circuit breakers each have a first and second power connection, which define a first and second axis extending orthogonally to the longitudinal direction. A first busbar section is attachable to the first power connection, and the first busbar conductors thereof, each define a third axis, which extends orthogonally to the longitudinal direction and the first axis. A second busbar section is attachable to the second power connection, and the second busbar conductors thereof, each define a fourth axis, which extends orthogonally to the longitudinal direction and the first axis. A first distance between the first and second axes is such that the fourth axis is arranged with respect to position and orientation on a common straight line with the third axis in the second mounting state.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2012Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Diego Sologuren-Sanchez, Arben Sabani, Markus Keller, Tilo Bolli
