The present disclosure makes it possible to reduce intervals between device units placed in a gas-insulated switchgear, thus achieving size reduction of the gas-insulated switchgear. A gas-insulated switchgear includes: a device housing having an operation door; a sealed container placed inside the device housing; and a circuit breaker unit and a ground switch unit attached to a side surface of the sealed container opposed to the operation door, via flange portions. A distance from the operation door to the side surface of the sealed container opposed to the operation door is different between a part where the circuit breaker unit is attached and a part where the ground switch unit is attached, so as to avoid interference between the circuit breaker unit and the ground switch unit.

A power source emulator is provided for testing programmable switchgear that switches to an alternative three-phase power source upon sensing a failure of a grid source. The emulator provides three simulated three-phase power sources for testing switchgear. Each source is identical in voltage and phase to the current normally distributed by the switchgear but has less than 1% of the amperage. Each power source includes a single three-phase contactor for simultaneously controlling all three phases of the power source, and three solid-state relays for controlling each of the three phases of the power source. A control circuit controls the three-phase contactor and each of the three solid state relays of each power source to simulate various types of power failures that the switchgear is programmed to respond to.

A capacitive sensor having a cylindrical capacitor, for a conductor of a GIS. The capacitive sensor having at least two digital or analog temperature sensors.

A basic unit portion configured by a standard unit and a variable unit portion whose shape is configured to be changeable. The basic unit portion includes: a first pressure tank with a first opening portion; a circuit breaker; a first bushing; a first disconnecting switch. The variable unit portion includes: a busbar; a second pressure tank with a second opening portion; a second bushing whose necessary number is disposed in accordance with the number of circuits to be externally connected; and second disconnecting switches which are arranged between the busbar and the second bushing. The first opening portion of the basic unit portion and the second opening portion of the variable unit portion are joined facing each other to form into a constitutional body.

A switchgear which includes at least one three-position disconnector arranged in a gas-tight space of a frame. Each phase of the disconnector includes first, second, and third fixed contacts and a moving contact. The first fixed contact is directly connected to a main busbar, so that the conductive main circuit has shorter wiring, saving floor space, and conductor materials. An outer surface of the moving contact is provided with a slot extending in an axial direction to accommodate rolling elements, which guide the moving contact to move through the second fixed contact and prevent it from rotating. The moving contact is provided with grooves, which accommodate contact pieces to realize connection with the corresponding fixed contact. The moving contact of each disconnector is coupled to the same drive shaft so that it is connected to an external operating mechanism via only one sealing point on the frame.

A gas-insulated medium voltage switchgear includes: a circuit breaker pole part arrangement in a gastight compartment of the switchgear; a drive arrangement for switching actuation of the circuit breaker, the drive arrangement and the pole part arrangement being fixed on a common plate or frame, which is provided with the gastight compartment, and being configured to close the gastight compartment gastightly such that in a completely mounted position of the plate or frame, the circuit breaker pole part arrangement is positioned inside the gastight compartment, and the drive arrangement is positioned outside the gastight compartment; and a standardized circuit breaker drive adaptable to switchgear arrangements with different pole distances. The plate or frame is provided with holes, in which gastight mechanical feedtroughs are arranged, through which the standardized circuit breaker drive is coupled with each vacuum interrupter in the circuit breaker pole part arrangement.

In an embodiment, the present invention provides a medium voltage circuit breaker in high pressure subsea environment, including: a vacuum circuit breaker; and a drive in a pressure tight housing. For an electrical three-phase arrangement, one vacuum circuit breaker per phase is in arranged in a separate pole housing each, and the resulting three pole housings are mounted to a common base compartment, in which all the three drives for the three vacuum circuit breaker are arranged. The three pole housings and the common base compartment are attached such that they form commonly a pressure tight compartment.

An object is to eliminate, through an inexpensive structure, degradation in withstand voltage performance and degradation in energization performance caused by heating in a vacuum circuit breaker. The vacuum circuit breaker includes a main circuit structure body having an insulation rod, a vacuum valve, a movable side terminal, and the like and an insulating holder for supporting the main circuit structure body. The insulating holder is a frame structure body having opening portions in the top and bottom surfaces and both side surfaces of the section in which the vacuum valve is disposed and the section in which the insulation rod is disposed.

A gas-insulated switching apparatus of a three-phase-isolated type includes: two first main buses and extending in parallel at an identical height; a first connection bus interconnecting the first main buses; a first divergence bus diverging downward from the first connection bus; and a first circuit breaker connected to the first divergence bus, wherein a connection portion between the first connection bus and the first divergence bus is disposed at a position lower than the height at which the first main buses extend, and a grounding switch is disposed above the connection portion between the first connection bus and the first divergence bus.

The present disclosure relates to a cable module with a detachable fracture feature, a gas-insulated device including the cable module, and a method for manufacturing the cable module. The cable module for a high voltage gas-insulated device with a detachable electric connection includes: an enclosure provided with a first opening and a second opening; an insulator provided with a conductive insert and fixed to a first flange of the enclosure around the first opening; a cable terminal connector passing through a wall of the enclosure and including a first end positioned inside the enclosure and a second end positioned outside the enclosure and configured to be connected to an external cable; a plurality of conductors connecting the conductive insert and the first end of the of the cable terminal connector.
