Hybrid circuit breakers

Abstract

Hybrid gas circuit breakers comprising a main breaker tank having an interrupter assembly positioned therein, bushing support nozzles laterally extending from the breaker tank, disconnect switches coupled to and extending generally upwardly or vertically from the bushing support nozzles, and bushings assembled to the disconnect switches. In addition, bushing current transformers (BCTs) are assembled on the bushing support nozzles adjacent the breaker tank instead. The lateral positioning of components results in a low assembled height permitting shipping of a fully assembled and tested unit for voltage ratings up to and including 362 kV.
