  • Patent number: 7236351
    Abstract: The high-voltage metal-clad substation element comprises at least one circuit-breaker connected electrically and mechanically to at least one set of busbars (3, 4) extending along an axis (D) that extends transversely to the longitudinal axis (AX) of the circuit-breaker. The metal case (1) is fixed to the ground via a hinge which allows the case to tilt slightly when said set of busbars (3, 4) expands along said transverse axis (D). This configuration makes it possible to omit or to reduce the use of axial bellows on the set of busbars, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing the metal-clad substation. Advantageously, in association with the hinge, the metal case is designed to have some flexibility to reduce mechanical stresses when the set of busbars expands.

  • Patent number: 7090176
    Abstract: A support for high-voltage or medium-voltage electrical plant comprises four columns placed on a support surface and connected in pairs by crossmember assemblies. The columns are each articulated to rotate about a first horizontal axis at their end resting on the support surface and about a second horizontal axis on a top crossmember at their other end. The first and second axes are parallel. Two opposite crossmember assemblies allow the two columns connected by one or the other of these two assemblies to move in a stable manner in their rotation plane.
