Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A circuit breaker ( 33 ) formed with a sealed tank ( 4 ) having a breaker section and an operating mechanism ( 2 ) is laterally arranged in a lengthwise direction and is fixed to a frame ( 1 ), and above the circuit breaker, main bus containers ( 11, 12 ) are provided, substantially orthogonally to an axial direction of the circuit breaker ( 33 ). Operating mechanism-side working space (B) and breaker section-side working space (C) are provided respectively above the operating mechanism ( 2 ) and the sealed tank ( 4 ), and a hand hole ( 5 ) is provided on an upper surface of the sealed tank ( 4 ). A connecting pin ( 24 ) is provided in a link mechanism connecting the operating mechanism ( 2 ) and the movable contact ( 7 ), and an operating mechanism-side working hole for accessibility to the connecting pin ( 24 ) from the operating mechanism-side working space (B) is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A gas-insulated switchgear which includes a circuit breaker laterally arranged in a longitudinal direction and fixed to a frame, comprising: a fixed contact; a movable contact brought into contact and away with respect to the fixed contact; a sealed tank including the fixed contact and the movable contact inside and filled with insulating gas; an operating mechanism using an elastic body as a driving source to drive the movable contact; and a mechanical section connecting the operating mechanism and the movable contact, wherein a current transformer is connected to a conductor pullout part of the movable contact in the sealed tank, a connecting conductor is connected to an upper part of the current transformer, a main bus is connected, substantially orthogonally to an axial direction of the circuit breaker via a disconnector, to both ends of the connecting conductor, one end of another current transformer is connected to the conductor pullout part of the fixed contact in the sealed tank, the other end of the current transformer is connected to a power-transmission line via a disconnector, breaker section-side working space and operating mechanism-side working space are provided respectively above the sealed tank and the operating mechanism, with a current transformer provided in the conductor pullout part of the movable contact therebetween, and a breaker section-side working hole is provided in an upper surface of the sealed tank, wherein a removable connecting member is provided in the mechanical section, and an operating mechanism-side working hole is provided, accessibly to the connecting member from the operating mechanism-side working space. 2. The gas-insulated switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the operating mechanism has an elastic body as a driving source to drive the movable contact and an output link to transmit the driving force of the elastic body to the movable contact, and the elastic body is laterally arranged in the axial direction between the control mechanism and the output link. 3. The gas-insulated switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the operating mechanism is provided with a roller. 4. The gas-insulated switchgear according to claim 2 , wherein the operating mechanism is provided with a roller.
