  • Patent number: 11342127
    Abstract: A vacuum-capacitor-type instrument voltage transformer (1) is equipped with a main capacitor (2) and an insulating tube (3) that accommodates the main capacitor (2). A voltage dividing capacitor (4) is connected to the main capacitor (2) in series. The main capacitor (2) is equipped with a plurality of vacuum capacitors (2a) to (2c) that are connected in series. A high-voltage-side electrode (6) is provided on a high-voltage side of the insulating tube (3), and a ground-side electrode (7) is provided on its low-voltage side. The high-voltage-side electrode (6) is equipped with a high-voltage shield (8). Electrostatic capacity of the vacuum capacitor (for example, the vacuum capacitor (2a)) disposed on the high-voltage side is set to be greater than electrostatic capacity of the vacuum capacitor (for example, the vacuum capacitor (2b)) disposed on the low-voltage side.

  • Patent number: 10607801
    Abstract: Emitter (3) and target (7) are arranged so as to face each other in vacuum chamber (1), and guard electrode (5) is provided at outer circumferential side of electron generating portion (31) of emitter (3). Guard electrode (5) is supported movably in directions of both ends of vacuum chamber (1) by guard electrode supporting unit (6). To perform regeneration process of guard electrode (5), guard electrode (5) is moved to opening (22) side (to separate position) by operating guard electrode supporting unit (6), and a state in which field emission of electron generating portion (31) is suppressed is set, then by applying voltage across guard electrode (5), discharge is repeated. After performing regeneration process, by operating guard electrode supporting unit (6) again, guard electrode (5) is moved to opening (21) side (to emitter position), and a state in which field emission of electron generating portion (31) is possible is set.

  • Patent number: 9422933
    Abstract: A conductive coating layer 2a, 2b is formed on at least one of an inner peripheral side and an outer peripheral side of a base body 2 of bellows 1 by diffusion-bonding. Regarding the diffusion-bonding, the flat conductive coating layer 2a, 2b is layered on at least one end surface side of the plate-shaped base body 2, and these base body 2 and conductive coating layer 2a, 2b are diffusion-bonded. After forming this diffusion-bonded multilayer member into a tubular body by a drawing process, a side wall of the tubular body is formed into a bellows shape. With these processes, it is possible to obtain the bellows that has the conductive coating layer having a more uniform thickness on the base body of the bellows and has extremely good characteristics (the mechanical characteristics and the electric characteristics).

  • Patent number: 8755166
    Abstract: A vacuum capacitor includes a fixed electrode, a movable electrode, a movable electrode shaft, a magnetic flux receiving unit, a magnetic flux generating unit and a capacitance control unit. The fixed electrode is formed from a plurality of electrode members in a vacuum casing. The movable electrode is formed from a plurality of electrode members arranged in gaps formed between the electrode members of the fixed electrode in the vacuum casing. The movable electrode shaft supports the movable electrode. Capacitance appearing between the movable electrode and the fixed electrode is varied by rotation of the movable electrode shaft. The magnetic flux receiving unit rotates the movable electrode shaft in the vacuum casing. The magnetic flux generating unit is located outside the vacuum casing and rotates the magnetic flux receiving unit by magnetic attraction. The capacitance control unit rotates the magnetic flux generating unit.

  • Patent number: 8749947
    Abstract: The present invention can easily adjust capacitance of a vacuum capacitor while maintaining a vacuum state in a vacuum chamber of the vacuum capacitor. A fixed electrode 4 is formed by arranging a plurality of flat electrode members 5 in layers at a certain distance in an axial direction of a vacuum chamber 1b. A movable electrode 7 is formed by arranging a plurality of flat electrode members 8 in layers at a certain distance in the axial direction of the vacuum chamber 1b and fixing the electrode members 8 to a movable electrode shaft 9. By rotation of the movable electrode shaft 9, each electrode member 8 is inserted into and extracted from a gap between the electrode members 5 of the fixed electrode 4 in noncontact with the electrode members 5 of the fixed electrode 4. A magnetic flux receiving portion 106b is fixed to a seal member 102 side of a disk member 106a that is provided at the movable electrode shaft 9.
