Description
- This invention concerns a container for a plurality of electrical instruments such as a transformer and a voltage regulator.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic drawing showing a conventional container for a transformer and a voltage regulator.
- In the figure, a
container 1 has a partition which divides thecontainer 1 into twoareas 3 and 4.Partition 2 comprises amounting portion 21 fixed to thecontainer 1 and a disk-shaped, electrically-insulating partition plate 22 which is fixed to thismounting portion 21. A plurality ofterminals 5 are attached to the partition place as shown in Fig. 2, and each terminal passes through the plate to form a coupling portion for lead wires. Atransformer 6 is located in onearea 3 of the container, agroup 7 of tap leads drawn up from tap coils is mounted on the transformer, and tap leads 8 extending from the the group of tap leads connected to tap coils are connected toterminals 5 on one surface of thepartition plate 22. Avoltage regulator 9 is installed in the other area 4 of the container, and tap leads 10 connect the terminals of the voltage regulator to theterminals 5 on the other surface of thepartition plate 22. - A similar container with the features of the preamble of
claim 1 has become known from FR-A-1 382 245. - Conventional containers for electrical instruments have the construction described above. As the number of the tap leads is increased, a partition plate with a larger surface area is required. As a result, the dimension of the container must be enlarged which gives rise to manufactering difficulties and restrictions on means of transportation. Further, in the event of a breakdown of the instruments lodged in the container or when evacuating the container to fill it with insulating oil, after inspecting the
voltage regulator 9, thepartition plate 22 occasionally was subject to high pressure. If the plate had a large surface area, its thickness had to be increased so that it could fully withstand these pressures. - This invention was conceived to overcome the above problems. It aims to furnish a container wherein a large number of terminals can be provided without increasing the size of the whole container, which has a partition with sufficient strength to fully withstand external pressures.
- The electrical instrument container of this invention comprises the features of
claim 1. - According to this invention, as more terminals are required on the cylindrical member of the partition, the surface area of the partition to which terminals are attached can be enlarged by increasing the length of the cylinder in the axial direction. Further, the cylindrical wall of the cylindrical member can fully withstand external pressures of the type mentioned above.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a conventional container for a transformer and a voltage regulator.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a partition plate used in the conventional container.
- Fig. 3 is a perspective drawing showing a container of
Embodiment 1 of this invention. - Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a cylindrical member of Embodiment 1.
- Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional
diagram showing Embodiment 1 of this invention. - Fig. 6 is a partially cross-sectional front view showing a cylindrical member of the above embodiment.
- Fig. 7 is a partially cross-sectional front view showing a cylindrical member of
Embodiment 2 of this invention. - An embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 6. As illustrated, the container of this embodiment has a
first tank 103 for accommodating atransformer 6 with agroup 7 of tap leads connected to tap coils, asecond tank 104 for accommodating avoltage regulator 9, and a connectingportion 20 for connecting thefirst tank 103 and thesecond tank 104.Tanks portion 20 are filled with electrically insulating oil for the purpose of electrically insulating and cooling the apparatus. Instead of insulating oil, other fluid such as SF₆ (Sulfur hexafluoride) gas may be used. Thefirst tank 103 andsecond tank 104 are both of a rectangular parallelepiped. The connectingportion 20 is in the form of a tube with a rectangular cross section, and the both ends are attached to the upper parts of the lateral faces oftanks Tank 103, connectingportion 20, andtank 104 are arranged in such a manner that respective upper surfaces are in the same plane. - The cross section of the connecting
portion 20 is generally smaller than the vertical sections of thetanks portion 20 is provided with amounting portion 21 having a disk-shaped opening 21a. Themounting portion 21 is attached at its four sides to the inner surfaces of four walls of the connectingportion 20, being so disposed that its flat surface is orthogonal to the direction in which the connectingportion 21 extends. Acylindrical member 30 formed of an electrically insulating material is fixed to themounting portion 21. Specifically, thecylindrical member 30 comprises acylindrical wall 23, anend plate 24 continuous with and integrally formed with thecylindrical wall 23 for closing one end of the cylinder formed bycylindrical wall 23, and aflange portion 25 connected to the other end of the cylindrical wall and integrally formed with the cylindrical wall.Flange portion 25 is annular and is fixed to themounting portion 21. Thecylindrical member 30 and themounting portion 21 together form apartition 102 which sealingly isolates the two areas. The inner diameter of the flange coincides with the outer diameter of thecylindrical wall 23, and the outer diameter is larger than the opening 21a of themounting portion 21 so that the flange overlaps with themounting portion 21. The axis of thecylindrical wall 23 extends in the longitudinal direction of theconnecting portion 20, i.e., in the direction in which theconnecting portion 20 extends. - In the illustrated embodiment, the
mounting portion 21 is disposed nearer to thetank 104 and thecylindrical member 30 extends from thismounting portion 21 toward theother tank 103. A plurality of terminals are provided on thecylindrical wall 23 of thecylindrical member 30, passing through thewall 23.Lugs 51 are attached to theterminals 5 on a first or outer surface andlugs 52 are attached to the terminals on a second or inner surface of thewall 23. Tap leads 8 from thegroup 7 of tap leads drawn up from tap coils of thetransformer 6 are connected tolugs 51 on the outer surface of thecylindrical wall 23, while tap leads 10 from thevoltage regulator 9 are connected tolugs 52 on the inner surface of thecylindrical wall 23. - In this embodiment,
terminals 5 are arranged in three rows spaced from each other in the axial direction ofcylindrical member 30. The terminals in the respective rows are spaced at suitable intervals over the entire circumference of thecylindrical wall 23. The number of rows in the axial direction and the number of terminals in each row may be determined according to the total number of terminals. - Instead of providing a single
cylindrical member 30 as illustrated, a plurality ofcylindrical members 30 may be provided. In this case, themounting portion 21 should have a plurality of openings corresponding to the number of the cylindrical members. By providing a plurality of cylindrical members, an even greater number of terminals can be provided. - In the above embodiment,
cylindrical member 30 projects toward the area in which the transformer is installed, but the same effects are obtained even if it projects toward the area in which the voltage regulator is installed. - By using a cylindrical wall as a part of the cylindrical member of said
partition 102, its surface area can be made larger, and a greater number of terminals can be provided on it. Further, by employing a cylindrical wall, mechanical strength is improved, and the cylindrical structure is capable of withstanding external forces even if the partition plate is made thin. - Further, the same effects will be obtained if other electrical instruments, such as a tap changer, a capacitor or a reactor is installed in the container instead of the transformer or the voltage regulator.
- Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of this invention wherein
terminals 7 are also provided on theend plate 24 of thecylindrical member 30. The other elements of the apparatus are similar to those ofEmbodiment 1 and the description thereof will therefore be omitted. - By adopting this design, an even greater number of terminals can be provided on the partition. In addition, if terminals are provided on the
end plate 24, the distance to these terminals from the wall of connectingportion 20 which is at ground potential is greater than that to the terminals on thecylindrical wall 23, and electrical insulation is thereby increased. - Tap leads 8 and 10 at high potential may therefore be connected to
terminals 5 onend plate 24, while those at low potential may be connected toterminals 5 on thecylindrical wall 23 ofcylindrical member 30. The insulation can thus be increased.
