Abstract
A switch gear system is described. In some implementations, a switch gear arrestor system can include a switch gear and one or more arrestors mounted on a non-conductive insulated bar. The one or more arrestors can be connected to one or more isolators through a respective aperture in the non-conductive insulated bar. Each arrestor can be connected to one of the one or more electrical energy sources at a first end and can be connected to one of the one or more isolators at a second end. The switch gear arrestor system can further include one or more ground leads. Each ground lead can connect one of the one or more isolators to a conductive grounding bar.
Claims20
A switchgear arrestor system comprising:
- a switchgear including a switch gear cabinet, wherein the switchgear includes one or more electrical energy sources disposed within the switch gear cabinet;
- one or more arrestors disposed within the switchgear cabinet and mounted on a non-conductive insulated bar and connected to one or more isolators disposed within the switchgear cabinet through a respective aperture in the non-conductive insulated bar, wherein each arrestor is connected to one of the one or more electrical energy sources at a first end and to one of the one or more isolators at a second end;
- and
- one or more ground leads disposed within the switchgear cabinet, wherein each ground lead connects one of the one or more isolators to a conductive grounding bar disposed within the switchgear cabinet.
A method for isolating an arrestor in a switchgear system, the method comprising:
- mounting the arrestor on a non-conductive insulated bar;
- connecting the arrestor to an isolator through an aperture in the non-conductive insulated bar at a first end and to an electrical energy source of the switch gear system at a second end;
- and
- connecting the isolator to a conductive grounding bar via a ground lead.
A switchgear arrestor system comprising:
- a switch gear;
- one or more arrestors mounted on a non-conductive insulated bar and connected to one or more isolators through a respective aperture in the non-conductive insulated bar, wherein the non-conductive insulated bar is attached to a switchgear cabinet via one or more insulated mounting bar connectors;
- and
- one or more ground leads, wherein each ground lead connects one of the one or more isolators to a conductive grounding bar.
