Abstract

A hanging arrangement for items of electrical operating equipment includes an upper fastener for suspending the hanging arrangement, a plurality of items of operating equipment being arranged so as to hang in a parallel manner from the upper fastener, and a lower fastener which is arranged so as to hang from the items of operating equipment. The items of operating equipment are connected to the fasteners in each case by flexible contact device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hanging arrangement for electrical operating equipment, the hanging arrangement comprising:
an upper fastener for suspending the hanging arrangement;
a plurality of items of operating equipment hanging in parallel alignment from said upper fastener;
a lower fastener disposed to hang from said items of operating equipment;
flexible contact devices respectively connecting each of said items of operating equipment to said upper fastener and to said lower fastener;
further items of operating equipment hanging in parallel alignment from said lower fastener;
an additional fastener disposed to hang from said further items of operating equipment; and
flexible contact devices respectively connecting each of said further items of operating equipment to said lower fastener and to said additional fastener.

2. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said items of operating equipment are arranged on said fasteners offset in relation to one another in a horizontal plane, to thereby stabilize said fasteners in a horizontal hanging position.

3. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said fasteners are substantially plate shaped.

4. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said fasteners are substantially a profile with a wavy cross section.

5. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said items of operating equipment are electrical insulators.

6. The hanging arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein said insulators comprise elongated rod insulators.

7. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said items of operating equipment are surge arresters.

8. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , which comprises at least one corona ring for electrical field control associated with each said fastener.

9. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said flexible contact devices are electrically conductive.

10. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said flexible contact devices are cables or litz wires.

11. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said flexible contact devices have joints.

12. The hanging arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein said flexible contact devices have ball-and-socket joints.

13. The hanging arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein said flexible contact devices have hinge joints.

14. The hanging arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein said flexible contact devices are spring-action devices.

15. A hanging arrangement for electrical operating equipment, the hanging arrangement comprising:
an upper fastener for suspending the hanging arrangement;
a plurality of electrical devices selected from the group consisting of insulators and surge arresters suspended in parallel alignment from said upper fastener;
an intermediate fastener disposed below said electrical devices;
flexible contact devices flexibly connecting each of said electrical devices to said upper fastener and to said intermediate fastener;
a plurality of further electrical devices selected from the group consisting of insulators and surge arresters suspended in parallel alignment from said intermediate fastener;
a lower fastener disposed below said further electrical devices; and
flexible contact devices respectively connecting each of said further electrical devices to said intermediate fastener and to said lower fastener.

16. The hanging arrangement according to claim 15 , wherein said flexible contact devices are mechanical elements selected from the group consisting of cables, litz wires, ball-and-socket joints, hinge joints and spring-action devices.

17. The hanging arrangement according to claim 15 , wherein said items of electrical devices are arranged on said fasteners offset in relation to one another in a horizontal plane, to thereby stabilize said fasteners in a horizontal hanging position.

18. The hanging arrangement according to claim 15 , wherein said fasteners are substantially plate shaped.

19. The hanging arrangement according to claim 18 , wherein said plate-shaped fasteners are substantially a profile with a wavy cross section.
