Abstract

A vacuum insulated switchgear comprising: a vacuum container; a vacuum insulated switch having a movable contact connected to a movable electrode and a fixed contact connected to a fixed electrode for interrupting and closing current; an operating rod connected to the movable electrode and connected to a magnetic drive mechanism; and a connecting mechanism for operating the operating rod; the vacuum container, wherein the magnetic drive mechanism and the connecting mechanism are aligned on a straight line, wherein each of the magnet drive mechanisms has a shape of a rectangular parallelopiped shape.

Claims (10)

1 . A vacuum insulated switchgear comprising:

a vacuum container;

a vacuum insulated switch having a movable contact connected to a movable electrode and a fixed contact connected to a fixed electrode for interrupting and closing current;

an operating rod connected to the movable electrode and connected to a magnetic drive mechanism; and

a connecting mechanism for operating the operating rod; the vacuum container, wherein the magnetic drive mechanism and the connecting mechanism are aligned on a straight line, wherein each of the magnet drive mechanisms has a shape of a rectangular parallelopiped shape.

2 . The vacuum insulated switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic drive mechanisms are located above the respective vacuum switches and the connecting mechanisms are located above the respective magnetic drive mechanisms.

3 . The vacuum insulated switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein each of the driving mechanisms comprises a plurality of plungers connected to the upper end of each of the driving rods and a magnet, and a spring for driving the plungers.

4 . The vacuum insulated switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein each of the vacuum containers is of rectangular parallelopiped, the switches are arranged side by side in the vacuum containers, the driving mechanisms are arranged in positions corresponding to the respective switches and being adjacent to the respective electro-magnetic driving units, and the magnets of the electro-magnetic driving units are of rectangular shape.

5 . The vacuum insulated switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein the vacuum insulated switches include a vacuum circuit breaker, a load break switch and an earthing switch.

6 . The vacuum insulated switchgear according to claim 1 , wherein each of the connecting mechanisms has an interlock mechanism for restricting the opening of the vacuum circuit breaker and the earth switch.
