Abstract

Provided is a switchgear. The switchgear includes a lower partition wall partitioning a cable compartment from a current transformer compartment disposed above the cable compartment and having an opening, a relief panel provided the lower partition wall to open and close opening, an upper partition wall partitioning the current transformer compartment from a main busbar compartment disposed above the current transformer compartment and having at least one through-hole, and an arc duct communicating with the main busbar compartment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A switchgear comprising:
a lower partition wall partitioning a cable compartment from a current transformer compartment disposed above the cable compartment and having an opening;
a relief panel provided on the lower partition wall to open and close the opening;
an upper partition wall partitioning the current transformer compartment from a main busbar compartment disposed above the current transformer compartment and having at least one through-hole;
an arc duct communicating with the main busbar compartment; and
an arc passage bypassing the current transformer compartment to allow the cable compartment to communicate with the arc duct.

2. The switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the arc duct comprises:
a front arc duct disposed at a front side of the main busbar compartment; and
a rear arc duct disposed at a rear side of the main busbar compartment to communicate with the arc passage.

3. The switchgear according to claim 2 , wherein the arc passage is disposed at a rear side of the current transformer compartment.

4. The switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the through-hole is defined closer to a rear edge of the upper partition wall than a front edge of the upper partition wall.

5. The switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the relief panel is disposed closer to a rear edge of the lower partition wall than a front edge of the lower partition wall.

6. The switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the through-hole and the relief panel at least partially overlap each other in a vertical direction.

7. The switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the relief panel is connected to a connection member provided on a top surface of the lower partition wall to rotate upward from the lower partition wall.

8. The switchgear according to claim 7 , wherein a hook protrusion restricting a rotation radius of the relief panel is disposed on the lower partition wall.

9. The switchgear according to claim 7 , wherein the connection member is connected to a front or rear edge of the relief panel, and
the relief panel has a left and right length greater than a forward and backward length of the relief panel.

10. The switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the relief panel has a size equal to or greater than that of the opening.

11. The switchgear according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one elastic member connecting the lower partition wall to the relief panel.

12. The switchgear according to claim 11 , wherein a hollow part protruding upward from an edge of the opening is defined in the lower partition wall,
the relief panel is disposed above the hollow part, and
an elastic member connection part to which the elastic member is connected is disposed on each of the lower partition wall and the relief panel.
