  • Patent number: 7244903
    Abstract: A main circuit switching unit and an isolator are accommodated in a vacuum container. A first conductor and a main circuit conductor are arranged to extend in and out of the vacuum container. A movable electrode of the main circuit switching unit is connected to the first conductor through a first flexible conductor, and a movable electrode of the isolator is connected to the main circuit conductor through a second flexible conductor. A shield is arranged around the first conductor and the main circuit conductor. Another shield is arranged around a connecting portion between the first flexible conductor and the movable electrode of the main circuit switching unit. A still another shield is arranged around the isolator. A further another shield is arranged around the second flexible conductor. These shields are secured to the vacuum container through insulating spacers.

  • Patent number: 5669228
    Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a system for utilizing exhaust heat of a stationary induction apparatus in which highly-useful hot water, for example, of about 70.degree. C. can be provided without increasing an operating temperature of the stationary induction apparatus (e.g. a transformer) to such an extent as to adversely affect the lifetime of the stationary induction apparatus. The system of the present invention includes a heat pump 17 which uses, as a high-temperature heat source, a first stationary induction apparatus cooling system which includes a first water-cooled stationary induction apparatus 1, and a first cooling water circulation system 7, and exhaust heat utilization means 8. This heat pump also uses, as a low-temperature heat source, a second stationary induction apparatus cooling system which includes a second stationary induction apparatus 10, and a second cooling water circulation system 16.
