Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vacuum switchgear, and more particularly to a vacuum switchgear having a plurality of switches disposed in a vacuum container, which is suitable for distribution panels for power transmission systems.
- Switchgears are installed as one element for a power receiving-distribution facility in a power transmission system.
- air-insulated type switchgears have widely been employed, gas insulated switchgears using SF 6 as an insulating medium are employed.
- SF 6 gas as insulating medium may give adverse affects on ecological atmosphere; there have been proposed vacuum type switchgears using vacuum as an insulating medium in recent years.
- the vacuum switchgears are disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-open 2000-268685; the vacuum switchgear is constituted by a plurality of main circuit switches, a fixed electrode and a movable electrode, the electrodes being facing each other and being disposed in a vacuum container, a movable electrode connected to a bus conductor, a fixed electrode connected to a load conductor, wherein each of the main switches is covered with an arc shield, and wherein each of bus conductors is connected through flexible conductors.
- this switchgear because of vacuum insulation system that makes insulation distance longer, it is possible to make switchgears more compact than the prior art switchgears.
- the load conductor is connected to the load side electrode, and a part of the load electrode is projected from the vacuum container, the projected portion being covered with an insulator.
- One end of the cylindrical insulator is fixed to the wall of the container, and the other end is sealed with a sealing member.
- a vacuum gap is formed between the cylindrical insulator and the load side electrode. That is, the vacuum gap is formed between the cylindrical insulator and the load side electrode to relieve concentration of electric field by the difference in dielectric constants between metal and insulator.
- the vacuum gap In order to relieve the concentration of electric field by the vacuum gap between the cylindrical insulator and the load side electrode, the vacuum gap must be sufficiently large. Consequently, a diameter of the total cable head including the load side electrode and the cylindrical insulator becomes large and its occupation space becomes large, too. Working effects becomes worse.
- a shock produced by contacting between the movable electrode and the fixed electrode is given to the sealing member through the load side electrode, thereby to create tension between the cylindrical insulator and the sealing member so that mechanical strength at the connection face between the cylindrical insulator and the sealing member may be lowered.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum switchgear having a structure for preventing earthing phenomenon that is caused by metal vapor.
- a vacuum switchgear of the invention is based on a concept that a movable electrode and a fixed electrode disposed in a vacuum container to be earthed are surrounded by an electro-conductive shield, and the conductive shield is surrounded by an insulating shield so that adhering or deposition of metal vapor to the conductive shield is prevented and earthing is also prevented.
- Disconnectors 58, 60 and interrupter 62 are disposed in vacuum container 10.
- the disconnector 58 is connected to a cable head 50.
- the interrupter 62 is connected to cable head 52.
- Electrode shield 182 is arranged around a movable electrode 176 of disconnectors 58, 60 and a fixed electrode 178.
- Insulating shields 184, 186 are disposed around the electrode shield 182.
- the insulating shield 184 is connected to a shield 172.
- the insulating shield 186 is inserted into a shield 188.
- the present invention provides a vacuum switchgear, which comprises a vacuum container to be earthed; a plurality of switches disposed in the vacuum container.
- Each of the switches is so constituted that a movable electrode supported by a movable electrode rod and a fixed electrode supported by a fixed electrode rod are opposed to each other.
- One or more bus conductors are connected to the movable electrode rod or the fixed electrode rod of each of the switches.
- a plurality of operating rods is connected to the movable electrode rod of each of the switches. A part of an operating rod is projected outside the container and connected to each of the operation devices outside of the container.
- a plurality of load side electrodes each is connected to each of the fixed electrodes.
- a plurality of insulating bushings each extends through the inside and outside of the container and covers the load side electrodes.
- Each of the switches is constituted by comprising a cylindrical electrode shield which is disposed around the movable electrode and the fixed electrode for preventing scattering of metal vapor generated from the movable electrode and the fixed electrode. Cylindrical shields each covers each of the electrode shields.
- the bus conductor is fixed to the vacuum container, and the movable electrode rod of each of the switchgears can be connected to the bus conductor through the flexible conductors.
- the cylindrical electrode shield is disposed around the movable electrode and the fixed electrode and the insulating shield is disposed around the electrode shield.
- a part of metal vapor that is generated from each of the electrodes and scatters from the gaps between the electrode shield is shielded by the insulating shield. Consequently, adhere of metal vapor to the vacuum container that leads to grounding or earthing due to metal vapor is prevented. This leads to contribution to improvement of reliability.
- the insulating shield is divided into the movable electrode side and fixed electrode side, current flow via the insulating shield is prevented to take trip action surely, when a high voltage is applied between the movable electrode and the fixed electrode at the time the movable electrode and the fixed electrode are separated for trip.
- the direction of current flowing in one of the fixed portions is opposite to that of current flowing in the other of the fixed portions.
- electro-magnetic forces are generated in opposite directions at the fixed portions, each acting as a force to separate the both ends of the curved portions. Therefore, the connection strength between the flexible conductor and the bus conductor is increased and the contact force between the movable electrode and the fixed electrode.
- an electric potential between the coating and the load side electrode can be made equal, so that the vacuum gap between the insulating bushing and the load side electrode can be made minimum. That is, the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between ceramic material and metal conductor for the vacuum gap between the insulating bushing and the load side electrode is enough when ceramic material is used for the insulating bushing.
- switches and insulating bushings When each of the operation devices, switches and insulating bushings (cable heads) are aligned in a straight line along the axis, the spaces between the elements can be controlled to be minimum to contribute to downsizing of the switchgears.

- the copper made supporting member 118 has a thermal expansion coefficient different from that of the insulating bushing 122, a residual stress is imparted to the supporting base 118 and the insulating bushing 122 as temperature changes at the time of soldering, which may lead to deformation of the parts. Because of a plurality of the circular grooves 118a formed in the supporting base 118, the residual stress that is imparted to the supporting base 118 and the insulating bushing 122 can be absorbed in the circular grooves 118a that have lower rigidity than the insulating bushing 122. Thus, the supporting base 118 and the insulating bushing 122 are surely soldered.
- the insulating bushing 122 Since the insulating bushing 122 is fixed to the inner part of the lower plate in the vacuum container, shocks from the electrodes given to the bushing through the load side electrodes is supported by the wall of the vacuum container. Therefore, damage of the insulating bushing is prevented to improve reliability.
- the upper plate 12 to which the upper parts are fixed and the lower plate 14 to which the lower parts are fixed are placed in opposite relation in an inert gas atmosphere, and the side plate 16 is adjoined to the upper plate 12 and the lower plate 14. Then the peripheries of the upper plate 12, the lower plate 14 and the side plate 16 are welded by TIG welding method to seal the vacuum container.
- the evacuating pipe 18 is connected to a vacuum pump 220 to evacuate the vacuum container.
- the vacuum container 10 is heated to 430 °C for 12 hours to evacuate.
- a vacuum detection terminal 20 is connected to a vacuum sensor so as to find out whether the predetermined degree of vacuum is maintained in the vacuum container by measurement of vacuum.
- soldering between the insulating parts and other parts can be carried out with certainty.
- the flexible conductor 164 curves in accordance with the reciprocal movement of the connecting rod 158 so that the bus conductors 68, 72 stay in the fixed state.
- deformation of the bus conductors 68, 72 is avoided when the operating rods 34, 36, 40 are operated.
- the vacuum switchgear is described wherein the disconnectors 58, 60 have the insulating shields 184, 186, but it is possible to omit the insulating shields for the disconnectors.
- bus conductors 68, 72 are fixed, but it is possible to employ such a structure that as diagrammatically shown in Fig. 9, thin plates are laminated to form bus conductors 222, which has a curved portion at an intermediate thereof is used to connect the operating rods 34, 36, 40 to the bus conductor 222, thereby to bend the curved portion 224 of the bus conductor 222 in response to operation of the operating rods 34, 36, 40.
- the vacuum switchgear for three circuits is described wherein the earth switches 54, 56, the disconnectors 58, 60 and interrupter 62.
- the number of the earth switches 54, 56, the disconnectors 58, 60 and the interrupter 62 can be freely selected in accordance with circuit construction.
- a vacuum switchgear is constituted by three disconnectors 58 and three earth switches 54
- the construction shown in Fig. 10 can be employed.
- a vacuum switchgear is constituted by two disconnectors 58 and two earth switches 54, the construction shown in Fig. 11 can be employed.
- a vacuum switchgear is constituted by one interrupter 62 and one earth switch 54, the construction shown in Fig. 12 can be employed.
- circuit systems a two circuit system, a three circuit system, a four circuit system, a five circuit system or a combination of the three circuit system and the four circuit system, and other various constitutions can be employed.

- electro-magnetic operation devices electro-magnetic type operation devices
- 230U, ..., 232U, 234U, 234V, 234W are fixed to the outer wall surface of the vacuum container 10. That is, electro-magnetic operation devices are fixed to the surface of the upper plate 12, in correspondence with operating rods 34U, ...,36U, 40U, 40V, 40W, whereby each of the electro-magnetic operation devices 230U, ..., 232U, 234U, 234V, 234W is connected to each of the operating rods 34U, ...,36U, 40U, 40V, 40W.
- Each of the electro-magnetic operation devices 230U, ..., 232U, 234U, 234V, 234W is so constituted as to automatically operate each of the operating rods 34U, ...,36U, 40U, 40V, 40W, in response to on-off signals issued from a controller (not shown).
