Abstract

The present invention relates to a structure of a switchgear with an arc protection system including an arc optical sensor to detect an arc, a relay to determine an occurrence or non-occurrence of a fault current by receiving an arc signal detected by the arc optical sensor, and an arc eliminator to earth an arc-generated side bus bar in response to an operating signal with respect to the determined fault current, wherein the arc eliminator has a test position or a service position within the switchgear.

Claims (14)

1. A structure of a switchgear with an arc eliminator in the structure of the switchgear comprising an arc optical sensor to detect an arc, a relay to determine an occurrence or non-occurrence of a fault current by receiving an arc signal detected by the arc optical sensor, and the arc eliminator to earth an arc-generated side bus bar in response to an operating signal with respect to the fault current,

wherein the arc eliminator is coupled to a cradle conveyer to be horizontally movable back and forth within the switchgear so as to be located at a test position or a service position,

wherein the structure of the switchgear is provided on a same panel together with the arc eliminator according to a riser panel structure, and

wherein the riser panel structure is a structure in which the arc eliminator is connected between an upstream bus bar and a downstream bus bar.

2. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the structure of the switchgear comprises, in addition to the arc eliminator disposed therein, a plurality of tulip contacts provided on a front surface, a shutter-driving device provided on a side surface, the cradle conveyer provided at a lower surface, and bushings contactable with the tulip contacts.

3. The structure of claim 2 , wherein the arc eliminator is placed at the service position in a manner that the arc eliminator moves along rails, the shutter-driving device opens a shutter plate obscuring the bushings, and the tulip contacts are inserted into the bushings to be brought into contact with internal conductors.

4. A structure of a switchgear with an arc eliminator in the structure of the switchgear comprising an arc optical sensor to detect an arc, a relay to determine an occurrence or non-occurrence of a fault current by receiving an arc signal detected by the arc optical sensor, and the arc eliminator to earth an arc-generated side bus bar in response to an operating signal with respect to the fault current,

wherein the arc eliminator is coupled to a cradle conveyer to be horizontally movable back and forth within the switchgear so as to be located at a test position or a service position,

wherein the structure of the switchgear is provided on a same panel together with the arc eliminator according to a tie panel structure, and

wherein the tie panel structure is configured such that the arc eliminator is connected between an upstream bus bar and a downstream bus bar, and a tie panel circuit breaker is connected between one of the upstream bus bar and the downstream bus bar and the arc eliminator.

5. A structure of a switchgear with an arc eliminator in the structure of the switchgear comprising an arc optical sensor to detect an arc, a relay to determine an occurrence or non-occurrence of a fault current by receiving an arc signal detected by the arc optical sensor, and an arc eliminator to earth an arc-generated side bus bar in response to an operating signal with respect to the fault current,

wherein the arc eliminator is coupled to a cradle conveyer to be horizontally movable back and forth within the switchgear so as to be located at a test position or a service position,

wherein the structure of the switchgear is provided on a same panel together with the arc eliminator according to a cable insert structure, and

wherein the cable insert structure is configured such that the arc eliminator is connected to a downstream bus bar, and a main circuit breaker is provided between the arc eliminator and the cable insert structure.
