Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Capacitors ( 5 a, 5 b ) are provided in the insulators of bushings ( 4 a, 4 b ), respectively. One ends of the capacitors ( 5 a, 5 b ) are connected to central conductors ( 3 a, 3 b ) side, and the other ends are connected to a tank ( 1 ) side at the ground potential. When a discharge signal from the outside of the tank ( 1 ) reaches the capacitors ( 5 a, 5 b ) through the central conductors ( 3 a, 3 b ), the capacitors ( 5 a, 5 b ) work as a filter to attenuate and prevent the signal in the frequency band of the discharge waveform from propagating to the inside of the tank ( 1 ). When an antenna ( 7 ) placed in the tank ( 1 ) receives a signal in the frequency band of the discharge waveform, a discharge detection unit ( 20 ) determines that a discharge inside the tank has been detected.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A tank-type circuit breaker comprising: a tank filled with an insulating medium; a current interruption unit placed in the tank; first and second bushings connected to the input and output sides of the current interruption unit, respectively, and placed across the outside and inside of the tank; first and second low-pass filters placed around central conductors of the first and second bushings and electrically connected to a ground of the tank, r…
