Abstract
A switchgear current transformer replacement system includes a truck system having a connection section. The truck system engages with and moves along a rail system of a compartment of a switchgear. The connection section connects to a current transformer. The truck system is positioned along the rail system to a position adjacent to the current transformer so the connection section connects to the current transformer and moves it away from its operational location within the compartment of the switchgear.
Claims5
A switchgear current transformer replacement system, comprising:
- a truck system having a connection section, the truck system configured to engage with and move along at least two parallel rails of a rail system of a compartment of a switchgear, wherein at least two wheels of the truck system are configured to roll along a first rail of the at least two parallel rails and at least two wheels of the truck system are configured to roll along a second rail of the at least two parallel rails;
- wherein the connection section of the truck system is adapted to connect to a current transformer;
- wherein the truck system when engaged with the at least two rails is configured to move the connection section in a first direction parallel to a direction extending from a first rail of the one or more rails to a second rail of the one or more rails, and wherein the truck system is configured to move the connection section in a direction perpendicular to the first direction;
- wherein the truck system when engaged with the at least two parallel rails of the rail system is adapted to move along the at least two parallel rails of the rail system to a position adjacent to the current transformer at its operational location within the compartment of the switchgear;
- wherein when the truck system is engaged with the at least two parallel rails of the rail system, when the truck system is adjacent to the current transformer at its operational location within the compartment of the switchgear the connection section of the truck system is adapted to connect to the current transformer;
- and
- wherein when the truck system is connected to the current transformer, when engaged with the at least two parallel rails of the rail system and when the connection section is connected to the current transformer the truck system is configured to move along the at least two parallel rails of the rail system with the current transformer to move the current transformer away from its operational location within the compartment of the switchgear.
