Abstract
A vacuum insulated switchgear comprising a case having a switch section, a bus-bar section and a cable section, each being partitioned by an earthed metal plate, a vacuum double break three point switch disposed in the switch section and having breaking and disconnecting function, an operator, a bus-bar disposed in the bus-bar section of the case, and a cable connection terminal connected to a cable in the cable section.
Claims11
A vacuum insulated switchgear comprising:
- an earthed metal case having a low voltage control section, a switch section, a bus-bar section and a cable section, being mutually partitioned by earthed metal plates;
- a vacuum double break switch having breaking and disconnecting functions, and a vacuum earthing switch connected to one fixed contact of the vacuum double break switch, wherein the vacuum double break switch and the vacuum earthing switch are disposed in the switch section of the case;
- an operator for opening and closing the vacuum double break switch, connected to first and second operating mechanisms that are respectively connected to movable contacts of the vacuum double break switch and the vacuum earthing switch, wherein the operator and the first and second operating mechanisms are disposed in the low voltage control section of the case, and wherein the low voltage control section is located in a front side of the case;
- a bus-bar disposed in the bus-bar section;
- and
- a terminal introduced into the cable section, which is located at the rear end of the case and arranged to be connected to a cable in the cable section, one end of the terminal being connected to the switch and the other end arranged to be connectable to the cable in the cable section in the case and to thereby permit the cable to be connected with the terminal therein so as to extend vertically from the terminal in a space extending in the cable section and along a rear side of the case relative to the front side of the case.

A vacuum insulated switchgear comprising:
- a case having a bus-bar section located in the center of the case, a switch section next to the bus-bar section, and a cable section located and having a space extending along a rear side of the case,
- a low voltage control section, located at a front side of the case relative to the rear side of the case;
- two switches constituting a double break switch of three position type, disposed in the switch section, having breaking and disconnecting functions;
- a vacuum insulated earthing switch disposed in the switch section, which is connected to one end of the fixed contact of one of the switches of the vacuum insulated double break switch of three position type;
- first and second electromagnetic operators for operating the double break switch and the vacuum insulated earthing switch, respectively;
- a terminal arranged to connect a cable introduced into the cable section located at the rear end of the case via a current transformer for a network protection and connected to the other fixed contact of the other switch of the vacuum double break switch of three position type;
- a T-form cable head disposed to the terminal and selectively connectable to the cable in the cable section whether the cable is introduced upwardly or downwardly from the case;
- and
- a condenser for electromagnetic operator disposed in the low voltage control section of the case,
- wherein the terminal introduced into the cable section, which is located at the rear end of the case to the cable in the cable section, has one end thereof connected to the other fixed contact of the other switch of the vacuum double break switch, and the other end thereof arranged to be connectable to the cable in the cable section via a cable head permitting the cable to be extended vertically from the terminal in the cable section in the case.
