  • Patent number: 6560091
    Abstract: In order to shorten the length of connection buses and reduce a cost, in the present invention, a plurality of T-branched circuit breaker units 12 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the T-branch direction, and the plurality of circuit breaker units 12 are connected by first connection bus units 14 and second connection bus units 15 in series alternately in a rectangular wave shape on a horizontal plane of approximately the same height as the T-branch portions of the circuit breaker units 12. Thereby, first connection buses 5 and second connection buses 6 are stretched around on the horizontal plane of the same height as the T-branch portions of the circuit breaker units 12, but not stretched around in an up and down direction. Therefore, the length of the connection buses can be reduced, and the cost also can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 5453910
    Abstract: A gas insulated switchgear device includes a pair of main bus lines arranged in parallel; a pair of auxiliary bus lines arranged in parallel; three sets of circuit breakers each including at both ends thereof respective disconnecting switches, the three sets of circuit breakers being electrically connected in series between the pair of main bus lines via the pair of auxiliary bus lines; and a cable head provided at junction points between the disconnecting switches belonging to the respective adjacent circuit breakers. The pair of main bus lines and the pair of auxiliary bus lines are arranged in parallel with each other over a substantially horizontal plane near their installation plane, and the three sets of circuit breakers are vertical type circuit breakers and are disposed at one side of the pair of main bus lines and of the pair of auxiliary bus lines along their axial direction.
