Abstract
An improved multi-phase compressed-gas circuit-breaker installation is provided having the three or more circuit-breaker assemblies mounted upon a horizontally-extending rigid frame structure, with the high-pressure and low-pressure gas-reservoir tanks disposed close to the ground, and having the circuit-breaker assemblies extending upwardly in spaced lateral horizontal relationship. Pressurized pipes, or conduits connect to the circuit-breaker assemblies, the pressurized pipes containing, of course, the internal high-voltage power-conductors at the centers of the pressurized pipes, as well known by those skilled in the high-voltage power-transmission art of the pressurized gas-insulated type. Longitudinally-extending contact-operating linkage is provided lengthwise along the supporting frame structure, in an easily accessible location, and the control compartments and gas-compressor units are disposed in an advantageous relationship and location with regard to the gas-storage tanks, which leads to easy servicing and maintenance.
