  • Publication number: 20240105364
    Abstract: A vacuum valve includes a structure having: a container in which a fixed-side end plate and a movable-side end plate are fixed to both ends of an insulation cylinder; and an arc shield at an intermediate portion of the insulation cylinder. The vacuum valve includes: a voltage nonlinear resistance layer containing particles having a voltage nonlinear resistance characteristic at at least either one of an outer creepage surface or an inner creepage surface of the insulation cylinder. A filling rate of the particles in the voltage nonlinear resistance layer has a distribution along a film thickness direction, and a filling rate of the particles in an outermost layer is not greater than half of an average filling rate of the particles in an entirety of the voltage nonlinear resistance layer.

  • Patent number: 10910799
    Abstract: In a connecting device of an electrical apparatus in which a first solid insulator and a second solid insulator each molded as a solid insulator on a periphery of a center conductor are connected to each other via a flexible insulator, a high voltage electrode having an outer diameter larger than those of the center conductors is disposed in the second solid insulator, and a ground electrode having an inner diameter smaller than that of an outer ground layer of the second solid insulator and larger than the outer diameter of the high voltage electrode is disposed in the first solid insulator. Electric field directions at an interface between the first solid insulator and the flexible insulator and at an interface between the second solid insulator and the flexible insulator are directions along the respective interfaces.
