A gas insulated switchgear apparatus, in particular a phase-separated, double main bus-type switchgear apparatus, in which first and second phase-separated main buses are interchangeable and are arranged in horizontal planes in such a manner as to reduce the space needed for the apparatus.

Gas-insulated switchgear apparatus

Disclosed is a gas-insulated switchgear in which three circuit breakers are arranged in tandem between a pair of main bus bars spaced apart by a predetermined distance. The connection between the three circuit breakers is such that adjacent circuit breakers are connected by a connecting bus bar to their lead-out parts remoter from each other, and disconnecting switches, etc. are disposed on the connecting bus bars. This arrangement shortens the distance between the adjacent circuit breakers, so that the gas-insulated switchgear can be shortened in the length in the tandem direction of the circuit breakers.
