Abstract
Abstract A gas insulated switchgear in which the fastening portion at the lead-in terminals connecting the first cable head vessel and the second cable head vessel is at a level lower than the level of the fastening portion at the lead-in terminals connecting the interrupter vessel and the first cable head vessel. The conductors extend from the interrupter in the interrupter vessel to the first cable heads through the lead-in terminals at one side of the first cable head vessel, and from the first cable heads to the second cable heads through the opposite side of the first cable head vessel. Therefore, the height dimension of the second cable head vessel can be decreased to provide a gas insulated switchgear which is economically superior and efficiently utilizes the total space.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
245 words
A gas insulated switchgear comprising: an upstanding interrupter vessel having a base; an interrupter in said interrupter vessel which is operable to interrupt current flowing therethrough, said interrupter having interrupter lead-in terminals; a first cable head vessel including upstanding first cable heads located at a level above said base, said first cable heads having lead-in terminals at opposite first and second sides of said first cable head vessel; a second cable head vessel including upstanding second cable heads located at a level above said base substantially the same as the level of said first cable heads, said second cable heads having lead-in terminals at one side of said second cable head vessel; fastening portions fastening, respectively, said interrupter vessel and said first cable head vessel, and said first and second cable head vessels; said fastening portion fastening said first and second cable head vessels being at a level above said base lower than said fastening portion fastening said interrupter vessel and said first cable head vessel; and conductors connecting said interrupter to said first cable heads through the interrupter lead-in terminals and the lead-in terminals at the first side of said first cable head vessel, and connecting said first cable heads to said second cable heads through the lead-in terminals at the second side of said first cable head vessel and the lead-in terminals at the one side of said second cable head vessel; each of said vessels being filled with an electrically insulating gas.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
245 words
A gas insulated switchgear comprising: an upstanding interrupter vessel having a base; an interrupter in said interrupter vessel which is operable to interrupt current flowing therethrough, said interrupter having interrupter lead-in terminals; a first cable head vessel including upstanding first cable heads located at a level above said base, said first cable heads having lead-in terminals at opposite first and second sides of said first cable head vessel; a second cable head vessel including upstanding second cable heads located at a level above said base substantially the same as the level of said first cable heads, said second cable heads having lead-in terminals at one side of said second cable head vessel; fastening portions fastening, respectively, said interrupter vessel and said first cable head vessel, and said first and second cable head vessels; said fastening portion fastening said first and second cable head vessels being at a level above said base lower than said fastening portion fastening said interrupter vessel and said first cable head vessel; and conductors connecting said interrupter to said first cable heads through the interrupter lead-in terminals and the lead-in terminals at the first side of said first cable head vessel, and connecting said first cable heads to said second cable heads through the lead-in terminals at the second side of said first cable head vessel and the lead-in terminals at the one side of said second cable head vessel; each of said vessels being filled with an electrically insulating gas.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A gas insulated switchgear as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a line disconnector in said conductors connecting said interrupter to said first cable heads and disposed in an upper space within said first cable head vessel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A gas insulated switchgear as claimed in claim 2 further comprising a ground switch partly disposed within said first cable head vessel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A gas insulated switchgear as claimed in claim 1 wherein said conductors connecting said first cable heads to said second cable heads are horizontally disposed at a level substantially equal to a level of metallic shields on top of said first and second cable heads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A gas insulated switchgear as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an instrument transformer disposed within an uppermost space of said first cable head vessel.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
62 words
A gas insulated switchgear as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an instrument transformer disposed within said first cable head vessel at a lcoation which is substantially higher above said base than said lead-in terminals at the one side of said second cable head vessel and which is opposite said lead-in terminals at the first side of said first cable head vessel.
