  • Patent number: 11309693
    Abstract: A gas-insulated switchgear includes a main circuit conductor forming a bus line, a tank having a tubular main body in which the main circuit conductor forming the bus line is provided at its center, and a grounding-switch tank that is a branch pipe connected to the main body, in which a movable contact forming a branch line that branches from the main circuit conductor forming the bus line is provided, where a tubular surface of the main body is spherical, and has an opening that allows the movable contact to pass therethrough.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10566155
    Abstract: A switch includes: a first contact and a second contact placed on an operation axis and facing each other; an urging part that urges the second contact to a first contact side; and a second magnetic material part that engages with the second contact to restrict the second contact from moving to the first contact side. The switch also includes: a conductor part that passes current when an arc is formed between the first contact and the second contact; and a first magnetic material part that surrounds the conductor part. When current flows through the conductor part, the second magnetic material part is disengaged from the second contact.

  • Patent number: 9876336
    Abstract: A gas-insulated switching apparatus of a three-phase-isolated type includes: two first main buses and extending in parallel at an identical height; a first connection bus interconnecting the first main buses; a first divergence bus diverging downward from the first connection bus; and a first circuit breaker connected to the first divergence bus, wherein a connection portion between the first connection bus and the first divergence bus is disposed at a position lower than the height at which the first main buses extend, and a grounding switch is disposed above the connection portion between the first connection bus and the first divergence bus.

  • Patent number: 9330865
    Abstract: A current switch includes a blade-shaped movable contact that extends in a radial direction from a rotation center, and that reciprocates such that a free end of the movable contact draws a rotation locus, a fixed contact that includes a plurality of pairs of energizing contacts that come into and out of contact with the movable contact, a movable arcing contact that is provided on the movable contact, fixed arcing contacts that are provided on a pair of energizing contacts, and a pair of permanent magnets that are arranged within the pair of energizing contacts adjacent to the fixed arcing contacts.
