Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
267 words
A gas-insulated switch gear, comprising: at least a first pair of electric units (10), vertically disposed one on top of the other; at least a first pair of insulating, gas filled, sealed metal conduits (1a) disposed between said first pair of electric units; a first plurality of lead buses (2) connected to respective ones of said first pair of electric units; a first plurality of main buses (1) connected to respective ones of said first pair of electric units by said first plurality of lead buses, and passing through a respective one of said first pair of conduits, such that both of said pair of electric units share the same ones of said main buses; wherein each of said units comprises: a pair of disconnectors (3) connected to respective ones of said first plurality of lead buses; a pair of first commutators (4) connected to one of said disconnectors; a circuit breaker (5) connected to one of said pair of first commutators, such that said first pair of electric units have respective circuit breakers vertically disposed one on top of the other, said main buses being disposed between said vertically disposed circuit breakers; a second commutator (4) connected to said circuit breaker and disposed in the same vertical plane as said pair of first commutators; a metal conduit (2b) connected to said second commutator and extending horizontally therefrom; a disconnecting switch (7) connected to and extending along a horizontal axis from said metal conduit; a sealed metal container (8) connected to said disconnecting switch along said horizontal axis; and cable (22) disposed within said sealed metal container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
267 words
A gas-insulated switch gear, comprising: at least a first pair of electric units (10), vertically disposed one on top of the other; at least a first pair of insulating, gas filled, sealed metal conduits (1a) disposed between said first pair of electric units; a first plurality of lead buses (2) connected to respective ones of said first pair of electric units; a first plurality of main buses (1) connected to respective ones of said first pair of electric units by said first plurality of lead buses, and passing through a respective one of said first pair of conduits, such that both of said pair of electric units share the same ones of said main buses; wherein each of said units comprises: a pair of disconnectors (3) connected to respective ones of said first plurality of lead buses; a pair of first commutators (4) connected to one of said disconnectors; a circuit breaker (5) connected to one of said pair of first commutators, such that said first pair of electric units have respective circuit breakers vertically disposed one on top of the other, said main buses being disposed between said vertically disposed circuit breakers; a second commutator (4) connected to said circuit breaker and disposed in the same vertical plane as said pair of first commutators; a metal conduit (2b) connected to said second commutator and extending horizontally therefrom; a disconnecting switch (7) connected to and extending along a horizontal axis from said metal conduit; a sealed metal container (8) connected to said disconnecting switch along said horizontal axis; and cable (22) disposed within said sealed metal container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
123 words
A gas-insulated switch gear as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a second pair of electric units; a second pair of insulating, gas filled, sealed metal conduits (1a) disposed between said pair of electric units; a second plurality of lead buses (2) connected to respective ones of said second pair of electric units; and a second plurality of main buses (1) connected to respective ones of said electric units by said lead buses, and passing through a respective one of said second pair of conduits, such that both of said second pair of electric units share the same ones of said main buses; and a first plurality of flexible connectors (21) connecting respective ones of said first and second pluralities of main buses.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
73 words
A gas-insulated switch gear as claimed in claim 2, wherein said second pair of electric units are vertically disposed one on top of the other, and each of said second pair of electric units includes a circuit breaker such that respective circuit breakers of said second pair of electric units are arranged one on top of the other, with said second plurality of main buses being disposed between said vertically disposed circuit breakers.
