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.
Claims15
A switchgear current transformer replacement system, comprising:
- a truck system having a connection section, the truck system configured to engage with and move along one or more rails of a rail system of a compartment of a switchgear;
- wherein the connection section of the truck system is adapted to connect to a current transformer;
- wherein the truck system when engaged with the one or more rails of the rail system is adapted to move along the one or more 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 one or more 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 one or more 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 one or more 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.
