A bypass switch for a STATCOM and an HVDC of the present invention is characterized by: a switch body having a column; a switch head which is coupled to the column and in which a sliding part is provided so as to be slidable up and down; a sliding part which is inserted into the switch head; a driven latch which is inserted into the sliding part and fixed to a driving shaft penetrating therethrough; a driving latch which is coupled to an end of the driving shaft exposed to the outside of the switch head, and which is provided to be driven by a solenoid; a stop coupled to the front of the switch head so as to limit movement of the driven latch; a pressure bearing which is inserted into a lower portion of the sliding part and coupled thereto by a bearing pin; an elastic body provided between the sliding part and the switch body; and a rod coupled to an upper portion of the sliding part so as to be insulated by an insulator.

A switch includes an operating member and three contacts (first, second and third contacts). The operating member displaces between a first and a second positions. A state of the three contacts is switched between a first and a second states by displacement of the operating member. Each contact connects or disconnects a signal line in the first state, and puts, in the second state, the signal line into a state reverse to the first stat. In course of the displacement of the operating member from the first position to the second position, the first contact switches from the first state to the second state, the second contact switches from the first state to the second state after switching of the first contact, and the third contact switches from the second state to the first state at a timing between switching of the first contact and switching of the second contact.

In a switch in which one end portion of a blade is pivotally attached to a fixed contactor and another end portion of the blade is brought into pressure contact with a fixed contactor by rotational operation of the blade, at least one slit is provided in each of a conductive contact surface, with respect to the fixed contactor, of the one end portion of the blade and a conductive contact surface, with respect to the fixed contactor, of the other end portion of the blade, so as to divide each of the conductive contact surfaces, thereby achieving multi-point contact on each of the conductive contact surfaces, and a thickness of a contact-pressure spring fixing portion of the blade at which a contact-pressure spring for bringing the other end portion into pressure contact with the fixed contactor is made smaller than that of the other end portion.

A residual load disconnector switch (1) includes a rotary switch body (23), which includes a contact blade (24, 25, 26, 27), that is rotatable about an axis (A) and is arranged between a feed line connection (20) and a discharge line connection (21), and includes end-side contact surfaces (28, 29, 30, 31) protruding in a radial direction. The contact surfaces, in a closed rotary position (S1) of the rotary switch body (23), are in touching contact with the feed line connection (20) and with the discharge line connection (21). In an open rotary position (S2) of the rotary switch body (23), the contact surfaces are each spaced with respect to the feed line connection (20) and with the discharge line connection (21). The residual load disconnector switch (1) is rotationally limited in one rotational direction for performing switching movements and can be actuated unidirectionally and cyclically.

A control system is designed to control an interrupter. The interrupter is started by a startup current to interrupt a main electric circuit. The startup current flows through an auxiliary electric circuit and has a current valve equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The control system includes a driving unit and a driven unit. The driving unit includes an intermediate electrical path to be connected to the main electric circuit. The driven unit is to be connected to the auxiliary electric circuit. When an abnormal current having a current value equal to or greater than a prescribed value flows through the intermediate electrical path, the driving unit uses, as a drive source for driving the driven unit, the abnormal current flowing through the intermediate electrical path. The driven unit supplies the auxiliary electric circuit with the startup current by being driven by the driving unit.
