A vacuum circuit breaker includes a tank containing an electrical device. An opening corresponds to a terminal of the electrical device. A porcelain tube protruding from the tank is fixed to an opening base, and has a terminal conductor. A first connection conductor in the porcelain tube is connected to the terminal conductor. A second connection conductor is arranged in the porcelain tube. A third connection conductor is arranged between the first and the second connection conductor, has a closed end concave section fitted onto the first connection conductor and is connected to the second connection conductor by a fastener. A contact is disposed between said first connection conductor and the third connection conductor. The third and second connection conductors are made of a solid conductor. A center of the third connection conductor and a center of the second connection conductor are formed with a threaded section.

Tank type vacuum circuit breaker

Included are: a movable plate which is coupled to a main shaft of the switchgear and performs motion in accordance with the movement of the main shaft; an ON/OFF display plate in which a display showing the state of the switchgear, such as 'ON'/'OFF,' is provided on each of different two faces, and mechanically rotates or performs linear motion and thus displaying the opening/closing state of the contact; and an ON/OFF display plate link which is mechanically connected to the movable plate and the ON/OFF display plate and converts the motion of the movable plate to transfer to the ON/OFF display plate. The display of the ON/OFF display plate is arranged at a tilt toward the upper side or the lower side so as to point at an optional angle.

Switchgear state display device

A tank-type vacuum circuit breaker includes: a pressure tank; an insulating frame that is detachably supported by a support member provided in the pressure tank using a coupling; a vacuum interrupter that is supported by the insulating frame and includes a stationary electrode and a moving electrode; a stationary-electrode side terminal that is connectably/disconnectably connected to a bushing-terminal side internal conductor; a moving-electrode side terminal that is connectably/disconnectably connected to a bushing-terminal side internal conductor; and an insulating rod, the inside end of which is detachably coupled to the moving electrode and the outside end of which is coupled to an opening/closing actuation mechanism that opens/closes the contacts of the stationary contact and moving contact. The vacuum interrupter, the stationary-electrode side terminal, the moving-electrode side terminal and the insulating frame are integrated into a unit, and the unit can be removed and mounted by disconnecting the connections and the couplings.

Tank-type vacuum circuit breaker

Provided are: a vacuum interrupter having a fixed contact and a movable contact; a fixed side mounting plate which supports a fixed side conductor; and an operating mechanism which is coupled to a movable side conductor and performs opening and closing operation of both the contacts. The fixed side mounting plate is configured such that a plurality of plate-like members are overlapped; an exposed portion of the fixed side conductor is attached with a divided terminal which has a fitting hole to be fitted to the exposed portion and is formed with a slit in a radial direction from the fitting hole; and the divided terminal is fixed to the fixed side mounting plate and the fixed side conductor is supported by the fixed side mounting plate via the divided terminal.
