Abstract

The invention relates to a gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear, comprising at least one bus bar with three phase conductors, whereby each phase conductor is connected to the input of a respectively provided bus bar section. The phase conductor and the bus bar section are arranged in a three-phase bus bar module with three single-phase power switches, each arranged in a separate power switch housing and each bus bar section is connected at the output therefrom to a respectively provided power switch.

Claims (53)

1. A gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear assembly, comprising:

a three-phase busbar module including:

a housing;

three busbar isolators arranged in the housing, each busbar isolator having a corresponding input and a corresponding output; and

three phase conductors arranged in the housing, each phase conductor being connected to the input of a respective busbar isolator associated with the phase conductor; and

three circuit breaker housings;

three single-phase circuit breakers, which are each arranged in a respective separate circuit breaker housing among the circuit breaker housings, each circuit breaker including a corresponding input side and a corresponding output side, each busbar isolator being connected at the output of the busbar isolator to a respective one of the three single-phase circuit breakers; and

at least one splitter module, each splitter module including a corresponding housing distinct from the housing of the busbar module, and each splitter module including three phase conductors, at least one three-phase interface for the splitter module housing, and three single-phase interfaces for the splitter module housing,

wherein, for each splitter module, each phase conductor of the splitter module is guided by the at least one three-phase interface to a corresponding one of the single-phase interfaces.

2. The high-voltage switchgear assembly as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:

a busbar branch,

wherein the busbar isolators in the busbar module and the circuit breakers are associated with the busbar branch.

3. The high-voltage switchgear assembly as claimed in claim 1 , comprising a first splitter module among the at least one splitter module, the first splitter module being inserted between the busbar module and the circuit breakers.

4. The high-voltage switchgear assembly as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:

a three-phase outgoing feeder unit; and

a second splitter module among the at least one splitter module, the second splitter module being inserted between the three-phase outgoing feeder unit and the circuit breakers.

5. The high-voltage switchgear assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each circuit breaker comprises at least two current transformers, at least one of the current transformers being arranged on the input side of the respective circuit breaker and another at least one of the current transformers being arranged on the output side of the respective circuit breaker.

6. The high-voltage switchgear assembly as claimed in claim 3 , comprising:

a three-phase outgoing feeder unit; and

a second splitter module among the at least one splitter module, the second splitter module being inserted between the three-phase outgoing feeder unit and the circuit breakers.

7. The high-voltage switchgear assembly as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein, for the at least one splitter module, the at least one three-phase interface and the three single-phase interfaces each have a cross-sectional plane associated therewith, and

wherein the cross-sectional plane associated with the at least one three-phase interface is substantially parallel to the cross-sectional planes of the single-phase interfaces.

8. The high-voltage switchgear assembly as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein, for the at least one splitter module, the at least one three-phase interface and the three single-phase interfaces each comprise a corresponding flange.

9. The high-voltage switchgear assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing of the three-phase busbar module is monolithic.

10. A splitter module for a gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear assembly, comprising:

three phase conductors;

at least one three-phase interface; and

three single-phase interfaces,

wherein each phase conductor is guided from the at least one three-phase interface to a corresponding one of the single-phase interfaces,

wherein the at least one three-phase interface and the three single-phase interfaces each have a cross-sectional plane associated therewith, and

wherein the cross-sectional plane associated with the at least one three-phase interface is substantially parallel to the cross-sectional planes of the single-phase interfaces.

11. The splitter module as claimed in claim 10 , comprising a housing,

wherein the three phase conductors are contained in the housing,

wherein the at least one three-phase interface and the three single-phase interfaces are for the housing, and

wherein the housing is free of any switching device.

12. The splitter module as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the splitter module has precisely one three-phase interface.

13. The splitter module as claimed in claim 10 , comprising:

a housing; and

at least one current transformer respectively associated with each phase conductor, wherein the three phase conductors and the at least one current transformer are contained in the housing, and

wherein the at least one three-phase interface and the three single-phase interfaces are for the housing.

14. The splitter module as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the splitter module has precisely one three-phase interface.

15. A splitter module for a gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear assembly, comprising:

a housing;

three phase conductors arranged in the housing;

at least one three-phase interface for the housing; and

three single-phase interfaces for the housing,

wherein each phase conductor is guided from the at least one three-phase interface to a corresponding one of the single-phase interfaces,
