  • Patent number: 8189325
    Abstract: A switchgear case is partitioned into a high voltage bus bar chamber, which contains bus bars and cable heads, a high voltage device chamber containing circuit breakers and operation mechanisms and a low voltage control chamber containing a relay and measurement devices, etc. A rear wall of the case has a first suction port disposed at a lower part thereof, wherein the high voltage bus bar chamber, high voltage device chamber and the low voltage control chamber are communicated and air passing through the chambers is discharged from a first discharging port of the casing. The bus bars electrically connecting the high voltage devices in the high voltage device chamber and connecting bars connecting the adjoining bus bars and the cable heads are covered with solid insulators for solid-insulation.

  • Patent number: 8045322
    Abstract: A solid insulated bus switchgear including a cabinet having unit and bus rooms, first and second switching units, each having a circuit breaker, current transformer, zero-phase sequence current transformer, and instrument voltage transformer, main buses, a communication bus linked to the main buses, and connected to the first and the second switching units, and first and second leader buses, the first connected to the first switching unit, the second connected to the second switching unit. Each switching unit has a movable cart, the circuit breaker mounted on the cart, and a frame assembly. Two terminals are disposed on the back of the circuit breaker, one connected to a fixed electrode and the other connected to a movable electrode of the circuit breaker. The two terminals are connected to the communication bus and to the first or second leader bus through air bushings.

  • Patent number: 8008594
    Abstract: A vacuum insulated switchgear has a busbar compartment, in which phase-segregated double-break, three-position vacuum circuit breakers are disposed; and feeder compartments disposed at both sides of the busbar compartment respectively, in each of which phase-segregated double-break, three-position vacuum circuit breakers are disposed. The busbar compartment and the feeder compartments are aligned in a row, and a second-phase insulated busbar is provided to connect one of the fixed contacts of a second-phase breaker in the busbar compartment to a fixed contact of a second-phase breaker in one of the feeder compartments. A first-phase insulated busbar is provided to connect one of the fixed contacts of a first-phase breaker in the busbar compartment to a fixed contact of a first-phase breaker in one of the feeder compartments adjacent to the busbar compartment, and the second-phase insulated busbar and the first-phase insulated busbar are disposed in different positions in height.
