Abstract

Abstract A compact-type gas-insulated switchgear apparatus is disclosed, in which movable contacts of a disconnector and a ground switch arranged in a cable head casing are adapted for switching operation in parallel to the axis of the cable head casing. A connecting conductor connecting stators of the disconnector and the ground switch is arranged in a position perpendicular to the axis of the cable head casing. A connecting opening is formed in the side wall of the cable head casing at a part thereof corresponding to the end of the connecting conductor. It is thus not necessary to increase the diameter of the cable head casing for the movable contacts of the disconnector and the ground switch performing substantially parallel operation, and other electrical equipment may be connected along the extention of the connecting conductor connecting the stators of the disconnector and the ground switch without modifying the cable head casing.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 226 words
A compact-type gas-insulated switchgear apparatus comprising a circuit breaker including a vertical cylindrical casing including arranged therein a breaker on the same axis as the cylindrical casing and a bus-side connecting conductor connected to a lower terminal of the breaker and arranged substantially in parallel to the breaker, a cylindrical cable head casing connected to an upper terminal of the breaker through an insulating spacer and including a disconnector, a ground switch and a cable head, and main buses connected to the bus-side connecting conductor through a second insulating spacer and juxtaposed vertically along the axis of the cylindrical casing; wherein said disconnector and the ground switch include movable contacts respectively operated through a link device from an axial end of the cable head casing to perform the switching operation along different axes parallel to the center line of the cable head casing, stators arranged opposedly to the movable contacts of the disconnector and the ground switch, and a connecting conductor arranged in a plane substantially perpendicular to the center line of the casing and having mounted thereon said movable contacts and said stators, and a connecting opening is formed in the cable head casing at a part thereof corresponding to the end of the connecting conductor opposite to the disconnector, said cable head being formed at the other axial end of the cable head casing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 226 words
A compact-type gas-insulated switchgear apparatus comprising a circuit breaker including a vertical cylindrical casing including arranged therein a breaker on the same axis as the cylindrical casing and a bus-side connecting conductor connected to a lower terminal of the breaker and arranged substantially in parallel to the breaker, a cylindrical cable head casing connected to an upper terminal of the breaker through an insulating spacer and including a disconnector, a ground switch and a cable head, and main buses connected to the bus-side connecting conductor through a second insulating spacer and juxtaposed vertically along the axis of the cylindrical casing; wherein said disconnector and the ground switch include movable contacts respectively operated through a link device from an axial end of the cable head casing to perform the switching operation along different axes parallel to the center line of the cable head casing, stators arranged opposedly to the movable contacts of the disconnector and the ground switch, and a connecting conductor arranged in a plane substantially perpendicular to the center line of the casing and having mounted thereon said movable contacts and said stators, and a connecting opening is formed in the cable head casing at a part thereof corresponding to the end of the connecting conductor opposite to the disconnector, said cable head being formed at the other axial end of the cable head casing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
A compact-type gas-insulated switchgear apparatus according to claim 1, wherein another casing for a lightning device or the like is connected to said cable head casing through the connecting opening covered by a third insulating spacer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 34 words
A compact-type gas-insulated switchgear apparatus according to claim 1, wherein another casing for a lightning device or the like is connected to the cable head casing through the connecting opening covered by a lid.
