A switchgear case is partitioned into a high voltage bus bar chamber, which contains bus bars and cable heads, a high voltage device chamber containing circuit breakers and operation mechanisms and a low voltage control chamber containing a relay and measurement devices, etc. A rear wall of the case has a first suction port disposed at a lower part thereof, wherein the high voltage bus bar chamber, high voltage device chamber and the low voltage control chamber are communicated and air passing through the chambers is discharged from a first discharging port of the casing. The bus bars electrically connecting the high voltage devices in the high voltage device chamber and connecting bars connecting the adjoining bus bars and the cable heads are covered with solid insulators for solid-insulation.

Switchgear

A solid insulated bus switchgear including a cabinet having unit and bus rooms, first and second switching units, each having a circuit breaker, current transformer, zero-phase sequence current transformer, and instrument voltage transformer, main buses, a communication bus linked to the main buses, and connected to the first and the second switching units, and first and second leader buses, the first connected to the first switching unit, the second connected to the second switching unit. Each switching unit has a movable cart, the circuit breaker mounted on the cart, and a frame assembly. Two terminals are disposed on the back of the circuit breaker, one connected to a fixed electrode and the other connected to a movable electrode of the circuit breaker. The two terminals are connected to the communication bus and to the first or second leader bus through air bushings.

Solid insulated bus switchgear

A vacuum insulated switchgear has a busbar compartment, in which phase-segregated double-break, three-position vacuum circuit breakers are disposed; and feeder compartments disposed at both sides of the busbar compartment respectively, in each of which phase-segregated double-break, three-position vacuum circuit breakers are disposed. The busbar compartment and the feeder compartments are aligned in a row, and a second-phase insulated busbar is provided to connect one of the fixed contacts of a second-phase breaker in the busbar compartment to a fixed contact of a second-phase breaker in one of the feeder compartments. A first-phase insulated busbar is provided to connect one of the fixed contacts of a first-phase breaker in the busbar compartment to a fixed contact of a first-phase breaker in one of the feeder compartments adjacent to the busbar compartment, and the second-phase insulated busbar and the first-phase insulated busbar are disposed in different positions in height.

Vacuum insulated switchgear

Earthing equipment for a switchgear is comprised of a movable carrying cart, a switch portion, a manipulating portion, and a voltage detecting device. The earthing equipment is provided with: an upper conductor connected to any one of the movable electrode and the stationary electrode; a lower conductor connected to the other of the movable electrode and the stationary electrode, an earthing wire connecting the lower conductor to a terminal used for earthing of the switchgear; and an adaptor conductor being selectively connected to either a disconnection portion at a bus bar side or a disconnection portion at a cable side of the switchgear and is permitted to be selectively replaced on either upper or lower face of the upper conductor.

Earthing equipment for switchgear

A vacuum insulated switchgear comprising: a vacuum container; a vacuum insulated switch having a movable contact connected to a movable electrode and a fixed contact connected to a fixed electrode for interrupting and closing current; an operating rod connected to the movable electrode and connected to a magnetic drive mechanism; and a connecting mechanism for operating the operating rod; wherein the magnetic drive mechanism and the connecting mechanism are aligned on a straight line, wherein each of the magnet drive mechanisms has a shape of a rectangular parallelopiped shape.
