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 gas insulated switchgear includes: a gas-tight housing; at least one shaft extending through an opening in the gas-tight housing, which shaft is partially rotatable and/or translatable; a sealing means arranged in the opening for sealing the shaft relative to the gas-tight housing, the sealing means including a sealing bellows having a first mounting rim on one axial end, a second mounting rim on an other axial end, and a bellow body in between the first and second mounting rims; and a mounting ring mounted coaxially to the shaft. The sealing bellows is arranged around the shaft, with the first mounting rim to the housing and with the second mounting rim to the mounting ring.

A tamper resistant plug that has particular application for sealing a fill port in a hermetically sealed and gas-insulated tank associated with medium-voltage switchgear. The plug includes a body portion and a top annular rim defining a central recess and having an internal surface facing the recess, where the internal surface has a polygon shape with only rounded edges. In one embodiment, the polygon shape is a trilobe.
