  • Patent number: 5764472
    Abstract: An isolator assembly (20) is provided for selectively isolating or connecting first and second bus bars (31) located on opposed sides of a wall (22). The assembly includes mounting means (24), for mounting the assembly (20) in the wall (22), and a through-wall conductor. The through-wall conductor (28) is supported by the mounting means (24) and has a contactor (30) capable of selectively making electrical contact with at least one of the bus bars (31). The conductor (28) is displaceable between a connecting position in which the conductor (28) connects the first and the second bus bars (31) and a disconnecting position in which the first and the second bus bars (31) are isolated from each other.

  • Patent number: 5757260
    Abstract: Fuses for the potential transformers (PTs) in medium voltage switchgear are mounted in fuse assemblies which are reciprocated within the switchgear enclosure independently of the transformers they protect between a connected position in which the fuse assemblies engage stabs at the rear wall of the enclosure and a retracted position adjacent a door at the front of the enclosure through which the fuses are inserted and removed while the fuse assemblies remain within the enclosure. The fuse assemblies include insulative tubes having first releasable contacts at a distal end which engage the stabs and second releasable contacts which engage fixed contacts connected to the transformers and spaced from the rear wall. The insulative tubes are mounted on a carriage which reciprocates between the connected and retracted positions. An interlock prevents opening of the door except where the carriage is in the retracted position and blocks movement of the carriage with the door open.

  • Patent number: 5648888
    Abstract: Disclosed is a power distribution substation for power distribution to a consumption pool having a high voltage unit divided into cells, each cell containing high voltage incoming connection equipments connected by high voltage cables to a power source having a voltage between 60 kV and 245 kV. The substation also has a transformers yard having at least one transformer connected to the high voltage incoming connection equipments, and a mid-voltage unit containing outgoing connection equipments connected to the transformer and linked to output power lines for power distribution under a voltage lower than or equal to 36 kV. Finally, the substation has a control room. The high voltage and mid-voltage units, the transformers yard and the control room are located in a single building having a roof where the high voltage incoming connection equipments, the transformer(s) and some of the outgoing connection equipments ate located at the same level inside the building.

  • Patent number: 5596467
    Abstract: An electrical energy-transforming equipment comprises a transformer arranged within a cubicle, a current transformer and a potential transformer both connected to the transformer. The transformer, the current transformer and the potential transformer are molded in one piece. In another form of the electrical energy-transforming equipment, a transformer for distributing electric power, which is molded with an insulating material, such as a synthetic resin or a synthetic rubber, is molded in one piece with a current transformer and a potential transformer both connected thereto, with an insulating material, such as a synthetic resin or a synthetic rubber. The electrical energy-transforming equipment may further comprise a breaker also molded in one piece with the rest thereof, with the insulating material.

  • Patent number: 5587873
    Abstract: In a distributor, a plurality of switches are connected in series with one another on main distribution lines emerging from a receiver switching apparatus, thus forming a trunk. A branch line extends from a junction between each pair of adjoining switches and leads to each load via another switch and a transformer, wherein each pair of switches on the trunk is formed as a single branch unit, and the switch and transformer are united as a power package. In each power package, a supply bushing and a load bushing are placed on the top of a transformer, and shielded with closed housings. A switch is placed in the closed housing for the supply bushing, and a distribution board is placed in the closed housing for the transformer. This configuration enables the disconnection of any branch distribution lines from the main distribution lines and diminishes the installation space.
