  • Patent number: 9508507
    Abstract: Gas insulated electrical equipment includes: a metal enclosure having an insulating gas introduced therein; a conductor that is accommodated inside the metal enclosure and to which voltage is applied; and an insulating and supporting member insulating and supporting the conductor relative to the metal enclosure. The conductor is circumferentially covered with a dielectric film, and furthermore, a nonlinear resistance film provided on the dielectric film and having a nonlinear volume resistivity decreasing when the nonlinear resistance film is acted on by an electric field higher than a critical value.

  • Publication number: 20160268784
    Abstract: A gas-insulated electrical device includes a covering film covering an inner surface of a ground tank filled with an insulation gas. The covering film is formed of an insulation dielectric covering film that becomes more positively charged than metals in a triboelectric series, and becomes positively charged upon contact with metal foreign matter. At the same time, the metal foreign matter becomes negatively charged upon contact with the covering film. In a case where the high-voltage conductor is charged to a negative polarity, a Coulomb's force acts on the metal foreign matter in contact with the covering film in a direction away from the high-voltage conductor. The metal foreign matter in the ground tank is thus suppressed from floating.

  • Publication number: 20140290978
    Abstract: A lead wire for a stationary induction apparatus includes a conductor, a covering insulating layer provided on an outer periphery of the conductor, and an insulating sheet provided on the covering insulating layer. The insulating sheet includes base paper having a prescribed width, and insulating spacers disposed to protrude from the base paper at prescribed spacings in a longitudinal direction of the base paper. The insulating sheet is spirally wound continuously from a straight portion to a curved portion such that the insulating spacers come into contact with the covering insulating layer.

  • Patent number: 8547193
    Abstract: In a stationary induction apparatus, an inter-partial-coil insulating plate and a plurality of inter-partial-coil spacer insulators form a refrigerant flow path in conjunction with each other. A space having an inter-partial-coil insulation dimension for withstanding an abnormal voltage is formed between a pair of partial coils. The inter-partial-coil insulating plate and the inter-partial-coil spacer insulators support both the pair of partial coils at an insulated state so as to maintain the inter-partial-coil insulation dimension. The insulators are arranged so as to be overlapped with each other in the direction in which mutually adjacent partial coils are opposed to each other.
