The present invention relates to a gas insulated switchgear that includes a circuit breaker having a plurality of branch lead-out ports provided on the lateral side of a circuit breaker tank.
A gas insulated switchgear that is used in a substation, a power station, or the like is classified into various units according to applications for a power transmission/reception line, a transformer line, a busbar link line, or a busbar section line. Therefore, it is preferable to standardize a common part of these units and share the common part than to individually design and manufacture these units.
Patent Document 1 discloses a double-bus-system gas insulated switchgear that provides three branch lead-out ports on the lateral side of a vertical-type circuit breaker tank and appropriately change devices to be connected to the three branch lead-out ports to be used for both of a power transmission/reception line and a busbar link line. In the case of a configuration of a power transmission/reception line unit, one of the branch lead-out ports is connected to a line-side device and each of the other two branch lead-out ports is connected to a busbar-side device. In the case of a configuration of a busbar link line unit, a branch lead-out port connected to a line-side device is blocked up by a blocking board, branch lead-out ports connected to busbar-side devices are respectively connected to disconnect switches of which each is integral with a busbar and has a ground switch, and a conductor derived from a breaking unit within the circuit breaker tank is connected to two busbars that are arranged up and down.
Patent Document 1 also discloses a configuration that a current transformer is located only at the upper side of the vertical-type circuit breaker tank. In other words, Patent Document 1 discloses the configuration of a one-side current transformer in which a current transformer is provided only at one side of the circuit breaker.
Patent Document 2 discloses a gas insulated switchgear including a breaking unit that is provided inside a vertical-type circuit breaker tank, a busbar that is coupled to the lateral side of the circuit breaker tank, and a busbar-connection conductor that is provided in the circuit breaker tank and connects the busbar and the breaking unit. One end of the busbar-connection conductor is connected to a lower end of the breaking unit and the other end of the busbar-connection conductor is provided to be folded at an upper end of the breaking unit. Furthermore, the busbar-connection conductor is provided to be inclined and thus is away from the breaking unit as the conductor is extended upward.
Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 2736110 Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. H4-58705
However, the gas insulated switchgear disclosed in Patent Document 1 has the following problem. When the power transmission/reception line unit is used as the busbar link line unit, one of the branch lead-out ports is blocked by the blocking board and the conductor derived from the breaking unit is folded within the circuit breaker tank to directly connect the busbars that are arranged up and down. Therefore, in addition to the cost of the blocking board, the manufacturing cost of the conductor increases because the connecting length of the conductor gets longer.
Because a folding structure of the conductor is present inside the circuit breaker tank, a diameter of the circuit breaker tank necessarily becomes large for the sake of the securement of an insulation distance between the conductor and the circuit breaker tank and thus an installation area increases.
Although the current transformer is provided only at one side of the circuit breaker in Patent Document 1, the current transformers are actually provided at both sides of the circuit breaker in many cases. When a technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 is applied to a configuration of both-side current transformers, the width of the unit also increases because another current transformer is provided between the branch lead-out port connected to the lower busbar and the breaking unit, in addition to the increase of the height of the unit due to the presence of the current transformer provided at the upper side of the circuit breaker tank. In this manner, an installation space increases because the dimension of unit increases in two directions of the height of unit and the length of unit.
Moreover, even in Patent Document 2, because a folding structure of the busbar-connection conductor is present inside the circuit breaker tank, a structure inside the circuit breaker is complicated even if the busbar-connection conductor is inclined. Therefore, it is still difficult to thin the circuit breaker tank.
The present invention has been achieved in view of the above problems, and an object of the invention is to provide a gas insulated switchgear including a vertical-type circuit breaker in which a plurality of branch lead-out ports are provided. In this case, the connecting structure of a conductor connected to a breaking unit provided in a circuit breaker tank can be simplified, the circuit breaker tank can be thinned, and the length of unit can be shortened even when current transformers are provided at both sides of the circuit breaker.
To solve the above problems and to achieve the object, a gas insulated switchgear of multi-busbar system according to the present invention includes a circuit breaker for power transmission/reception line including a vertical-type circuit breaker tank and a plurality of branch lead-out ports provided on a lateral side of the circuit breaker tank and arranged at regular intervals (an interval H) along a longitudinal direction of the circuit breaker tank; a busbar-side device for power transmission/reception line connected to each of branch lead-out ports other than an uppermost branch lead-out port among the plurality of branch lead-out ports provided in the circuit breaker for power transmission/reception line and a busbar; a line-side device connected to the uppermost branch lead-out port and arranged in opposite to the circuit breaker for power transmission/reception line across the busbar; a circuit breaker for busbar link line including a vertical-type circuit breaker tank having a length shorter than that of the circuit breaker tank of the circuit breaker for power transmission/reception line by the interval H and a plurality of branch lead-out ports provided on a lateral side of the circuit breaker tank and arranged at regular intervals with the interval H along a longitudinal direction of the circuit breaker tank; and a busbar-side device for busbar link line connected to each of branch lead-out ports provided in the circuit breaker for busbar link line and the busbar.
According to the present invention, a plurality of branch lead-out ports are mutually provided at regular intervals (interval H) in a circuit breaker tank of a power transmission/reception line circuit breaker. The length of a circuit breaker tank of a busbar link line circuit breaker is, by the interval H, shorter than the length of the circuit breaker tank of the power transmission/reception line circuit breaker. Similarly, a plurality of branch lead-out ports are mutually provided at regular intervals (interval H) in the circuit breaker tank of the busbar link line circuit breaker. Because a power transmission/reception line and a busbar link line are constituted by using these circuit breakers, a connecting structure of a conductor connected to a breaking unit within the circuit breaker tank can be simplified, the circuit breaker and the multiple busbars can be connected without the folding structures of the conductor, and the circuit breaker tank can be thinned.
Moreover, because the length of the circuit breaker tank of the busbar link line circuit breaker is reduced, an installation space and a manufacturing cost are reduced.
Moreover, because the power transmission/reception line circuit breaker and the line-side device are facing each other while placing the multiple busbars therebetween, the length of unit in a direction heading from the power transmission/reception line circuit breaker to the line-side device can be shortened and thus an installation space can be reduced.
Moreover, by defining the length of the circuit breaker tank of the power transmission/reception line circuit breaker and the length of the circuit breaker tank of the busbar link line circuit breaker, the length of the circuit breaker tank can be standardized for a plurality of line configurations.

As shown in
A plurality of branch lead-out ports are provided on the lateral side of the tank of the circuit breaker 1. As an example, three branch lead-out ports 2a, 2b, and 2c are provided along a direction parallel to the central-axis direction of the tank from the upper portion to the lower portion of the tank. For example, intervals between adjacent branch lead-out ports among the three branch lead-out ports 2a, 2b, and 2c are the same as an interval H. Moreover, as an example, distances along the diametrical direction of the tank from the central axis of the tank to leading ends of the branch lead-out ports are the same as a distance X. A line-side device is connected to the branch lead-out port 2a and busbar-side devices are respectively connected to the branch lead-out ports 2b and 2c.
A disconnect switch 7 not having a ground switch is connected to the branch lead-out port 2c. The disconnect switch 7 constitutes a disconnect switch integral with a busbar. An operating device 9 for operating a device is provided on the upper side of the disconnect switch 7. A disconnect switch 6 having a ground switch is connected to the branch lead-out port 2b that is provided on the upper side of the branch lead-out port 2c. The disconnect switch 6 constitutes a disconnect switch integral with a busbar. An operating device 8 for operating a device is provided on the upper side of the disconnect switch 6. The present embodiment employs a multi-busbar system. The disconnect switches 6 and 7 are respectively connected to upper and lower busbars that are extended in a direction perpendicular to the drawing (not shown). Moreover, the branch lead-out port 2a that is provided on the upper side of the branch lead-out port 2b is connected to a current transformer 3.
The gas insulated switchgear further includes a cable head 13, a disconnect switch 10, an operating device 30, a voltage transformer 5, a ground switch 11, and an operating device 12, so as to face the circuit breaker 1 while placing the two busbars therebetween. The cable head 13 is provided on a supporting base 14. The disconnect switch 10 has a ground switch and is connected to the cable head 13. The operating device 30 operates the disconnect switch 10. The voltage transformer 5 is provided on the disconnect switch 10. The ground switch 11 for line-side ground is connected to the disconnect switch 10. The operating device 12 operates the ground switch 11. Moreover, the branch lead-out port 2a and the disconnect switch 10 are connected via the current transformer 3.

Next, a configuration of the busbar link line unit will be explained with reference to
Two branch lead-out ports 15a and 15b are provided on the later side of the tank of the circuit breaker 16. The branch lead-out ports 15a and 15b are provided along a direction parallel to the central-axis direction of the tank. An interval between the branch lead-out ports is the interval H similarly to that of
The branch lead-out port 15b is connected to a current transformer 19. The current transformer 19 is connected to a disconnect switch 22 having a ground switch. The disconnect switch 22 constitutes a disconnect switch integral with a busbar. An operating device 23 for operating a device is provided on the upper side of the disconnect switch 22. A ground switch 24 for busbar ground and an operating device 50 for operating the ground switch 24 are provided at the other side (the side opposite to the connection side of the current transformer 19) of the disconnect switch 22. In this case, the current transformer 19, the disconnect switch 22, the ground switch 24, and the operating device 50 are connected to each other in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the tank of the circuit breaker 16. The branch lead-out port 15a is connected to a current transformer 18. The current transformer 18 is connected to a disconnect switch 20 having a ground switch. The disconnect switch 20 constitutes a disconnect switch integral with a busbar. An operating device 21 for operating a device is provided on the upper side of the disconnect switch 20. In this case, the current transformer 18 and the disconnect switch 20 are connected to each other in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the tank of the circuit breaker 16. Moreover, upper and lower busbars are respectively extended from the disconnect switches 20 and 22 in a direction perpendicular to the drawing (not shown). In this manner, the busbar link line unit according to the present embodiment includes two current transformers, namely, the current transformers 18 and 19 in the tank of the circuit breaker 16.
As shown in
Furthermore, to the right from the busbar section line unit (IV), the busbar link line unit (III), the power transmission/reception line unit (I), and the transformer-line unit (II) are arranged sequentially. The busbar link line unit (III), the power transmission/reception line unit (I), and the transformer-line unit (II) are connected to each other through the upper busbar 28 and the lower busbar 29 that are respectively extended in a horizontal direction.
As shown in
Next, the busbar section line unit (IV) will be explained. As shown in
In
A distance between the central axis of the circuit breaker 16 in the busbar section line unit (IV) and the central axis of the upper busbar 28 that is sectioned is L3. L3 is longer than L2. Therefore, the operating device 17 provided on the upper side of the circuit breaker 16 in the busbar section line unit (IV) is arranged outer the line-side device provided in the transformer-line unit (II). In detail, the operating device 17 protruding to the transformer-line unit (II) side is arranged in a space provided on the lower side of the ground switch 12 shown in
According to the present embodiment, as shown in
On the other hand, because it is preferable that the breaking unit be arranged near the operating device assuming that the operating device 4 of the circuit breaker 1 is arranged on the lower side of the circuit breaker tank, it is preferable that the breaking unit be arranged on the lower portion of the circuit breaker and be positioned to face the branch lead-out ports 2b and 2c (for example, see Patent Document 2). However, in such an arrangement configuration of the breaking unit, the busbar-connection conductor connected to the lower end of the breaking unit, particularly the busbar-connection conductor connected to the upper busbar is extended upward inside the circuit breaker tank and then is drawn from the branch lead-out port. Therefore, because the folding structure is formed inside the circuit breaker tank (for example, see FIGS. 1 and 9 in Patent Document 2), an internal structure of the circuit breaker tank becomes complicated and thus thinning of the circuit breaker tank becomes difficult.
Next, an effect of the present embodiment will be explained. According to the present embodiment, the circuit breaker of the power transmission/reception line unit includes the plurality of branch lead-out ports mutually provided at the regular interval (interval H). Moreover, the length of the circuit breaker of the busbar link line unit is shorter than that of the circuit breaker of the power transmission/reception line unit by one pitch (or the interval H). The circuit breaker of the busbar link line unit similarly includes the plurality of branch lead-out ports for busbar-side device connection mutually provided at the regular interval (interval H). Therefore, because the breaking unit can be connected to multiple busbars without providing the folding structure of the conductor connected to the breaking unit within the circuit breaker tank as in the conventional art disclosed in Patent Document 1, an internal structure of the circuit breaker tank is simplified. Furthermore, the circuit breaker tank can be thinned because it is not required to provide an insulation distance between the conductor and the circuit breaker tank.
Because the operating device of the circuit breaker is arranged on the upper side of the circuit breaker, the breaking unit is arranged near the operating device, namely in the upper portion of the circuit breaker inside the circuit breaker tank. Therefore, for example, unlike with the conventional art disclosed in Patent Document 2, an internal structure of the circuit breaker tank can be simplified and the circuit breaker tank can be thinned because conductors for connecting the breaking unit and the multiple busbars do not have the folding structure inside the circuit breaker tank.
Because the length of the circuit breaker of the busbar link line unit is short by one pitch, an installation space can be decreased and a manufacturing cost can be reduced.
As shown in
The circuit breaker tank of the power transmission/reception line unit and the circuit breaker tank of the transformer-line unit use the same tank, the size and shape of the circuit breaker tank of the busbar link line unit are defined as described above, and the circuit breaker tank of the busbar link line unit is further utilized as the circuit breaker tank of the busbar section line unit. In this way, the standardization of the circuit breaker tank is realized for the plurality of line configurations. Thus, the standardization of the connection conductor inside the circuit breaker tank can also be realized.
According to the present embodiment, because L1<L2 as shown in
Because the circuit breaker of the busbar link line unit is arranged to face the circuit breaker of the power transmission/reception line unit while placing the multiple busbars therebetween, all units can be arranged without increasing an entire length of a substation and thus an installation space can be reduced. Furthermore, in the busbar link line unit, two current transformers can easily be provided in the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker of the busbar link line unit and the circuit breaker of the power transmission/reception line unit can be arranged at the same side of the multiple busbars. However, in this case, the increase of the entire length of the substation cannot be suppressed because the circuit breaker of the busbar link line unit is located farther away from the line-side device of the power transmission/reception line unit.
According to the present embodiment, because the circuit breaker 16 of the busbar section line unit (IV) is arranged on the same horizontal surface as that of the busbar that is sectioned, an electrically-conducting path of the busbar section line can reasonably be realized.
Moreover, the interval W between the units adjacent to each other is the same as the interval H between the branch lead-out ports provided in the circuit breaker tank of the busbar link line unit and the circuit breaker tank of the busbar link line unit is utilized as the circuit breaker tank of the busbar section line unit. Therefore, the circuit breaker tank can be shared.
Because L2<L3, the circuit breaker 16 of the busbar section line unit (IV) is arranged at the outer side of the line-side device of the transformer-line unit (II). Particularly, because the operating device 17 protruding to the transformer-line unit (II) side is arranged in a space provided on the lower side of the ground switch 12 shown in
Although a multi-busbar system has been explained as an example in the present embodiment, the invention is not limited to this system and can also be applied to another busbar system.
Although a multi-busbar system has been explained in the first embodiment, a single-busbar system will be explained in the second embodiment.
As shown in
Two branch lead-out ports 32a and 32b are provided on the later side of the tank of the circuit breaker 31. These are provided along a direction parallel to the central-axis direction of the tank. The branch lead-out port 32a is provided on the upper side of the branch lead-out port 32b at an interval H. Moreover, as an example, distances along the diametrical direction of the tank from the central axis of the tank to leading ends of the branch lead-out ports are the same as a distance X. A line-side device is connected to the branch lead-out port 32a and a busbar-side device is connected to the branch lead-out port 32b.
A disconnect switch 36 having a ground switch is connected to the branch lead-out port 32b. The disconnect switch 36 constitutes a disconnect switch integral with a busbar. An operating device 38 for operating a device is provided on the upper side of the disconnect switch 36. A busbar is connected to the disconnect switch 36 and is extended in a direction perpendicular to the drawing (not shown). Moreover, a current transformer 33 is connected to the branch lead-out port 32a provided on the upper side of the branch lead-out port 32b.
The gas insulated switchgear further includes a cable head 43, a disconnect switch 40, an operating device 90, a voltage transformer 35, a ground switch 41, and an operating device 42, so as to face the circuit breaker 31 while placing the busbar therebetween. The cable head 43 is provided on a supporting base 44. The disconnect switch 40 has a ground switch and is connected to the cable head 43. The operating device 90 operates the disconnect switch 40. The voltage transformer 35 is provided on the disconnect switch 40. The ground switch 41 for line-side ground is connected to the disconnect switch 40. The operating device 42 operates the ground switch 41. Moreover, the branch lead-out port 32a and the disconnect switch 40 are connected via the current transformer 33.

Next, a configuration of the transformer-line unit according to the present embodiment will be explained with reference to
As shown in
Two branch lead-out ports 52a and 52b are provided on the later side of the tank of the circuit breaker 51. These are provided along a direction parallel to the central-axis direction of the tank. Moreover, the branch lead-out port 52a is provided at the upper side of the branch lead-out port 52b at an interval H. As an example, distances along the diametrical direction of the tank from the central axis of the tank to leading ends of the branch lead-out ports are the same as a distance X. A line-side device is connected to the branch lead-out port 52a and a busbar-side device is connected to the branch lead-out port 52b.
A disconnect switch 56 having a ground switch is connected to the branch lead-out port 52b. The disconnect switch 56 constitutes a disconnect switch integral with a busbar. An operating device 58 for operating a device is provided on the upper side of the disconnect switch 56. A busbar is connected to the disconnect switch 56 and is extended in a direction perpendicular to the drawing (not shown). Moreover, a current transformer 53 is connected to the branch lead-out port 52a provided on the upper side of the branch lead-out port 52b.
The gas insulated switchgear further includes a cable head 63, a disconnect switch 60, the operating device 90, a voltage transformer 65, a ground switch 61, and an operating device 62, so as to face the circuit breaker 51 while placing the busbar therebetween. The disconnect switch 60 has a ground switch and is connected to the cable head 63. The operating device 90 operates the disconnect switch 60. The voltage transformer 65 is provided on the disconnect switch 60. The ground switch 61 for line-side ground is connected to the disconnect switch 60. The operating device 62 operates the ground switch 61. Moreover, the branch lead-out port 52a and the disconnect switch 60 are connected via the current transformer 53.
In
Next, a configuration of the transformer-line unit that is not supported by a supporting base will be explained with reference to
Two branch lead-out ports 75a and 75b are provided on the later side of the tank of the circuit breaker 76. The branch lead-out ports 75a and 75b are provided along a direction parallel to the central-axis direction of the tank and an interval between the branch lead-out ports is the interval H similarly to that in
A current transformer 79 is connected to the branch lead-out port 75b. A disconnect switch 82 having a ground switch is connected to the current transformer 79. The disconnect switch 82 constitutes a disconnect switch integral with a busbar. An operating device 83 for operating a device is provided on the upper side of the disconnect switch 82. A ground switch 85 for busbar ground and an operating device 92 for operating the ground switch 85 are provided at the other side (the side opposite to the connection side of the current transformer 79) of the disconnect switch 82. In this case, the current transformer 79, the disconnect switch 82, the ground switch 85, and the operating device 92 are connected to each other in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the tank of the circuit breaker 76. The branch lead-out port 75a is connected to a current transformer 78. The current transformer 78 is connected to a disconnect switch 80 having a ground switch. The disconnect switch 80 constitutes a disconnect switch integral with a busbar. An operating device 81 for operating a device is provided on the upper side of the disconnect switch 80. A ground switch 84 for busbar ground and an operating device 91 for operating the ground switch 84 are provided at the other side (the side opposite to the connection side of the current transformer 78) of the disconnect switch 80. In this case, the current transformer 78, the disconnect switch 80, the ground switch 84, and the operating device 91 are connected to each other in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the tank of the circuit breaker 76.
As shown in
Furthermore, to the right from the busbar section line unit (V), the power transmission/reception line unit without the supporting base (III) and the transformer-line unit without the supporting base (IV) are arranged sequentially. The power transmission/reception line unit without the supporting base (III) and the transformer-line unit without the supporting base (IV) are connected to each other through another single busbar sectioned from the single busbar that is extended in a horizontal direction.
The circuit breaker 76 of the busbar section line unit (V) is a vertical-type circuit breaker and is provided to face the circuit breaker 31 of the power transmission/reception line unit (I) and the circuit breaker 51 of the power transmission/reception line unit (III) without the supporting base while placing the single busbar therebetween. The busbar section line unit (V) is not coupled to the supporting base. The shape of the circuit breaker 76 is the same as that of the circuit breaker 51 of the power transmission/reception line unit without the supporting base or the transformer-line unit without the supporting base.
The disconnect switch 82 of the busbar section line unit (V) and the disconnect switch 56 of the power transmission/reception line unit (III) without an adjacent supporting base are connected to each other through a single busbar. Moreover, the disconnect switch 80 of the busbar section line unit (V) and the disconnect switch 36 of the adjacent transformer-line unit (II) are connected to each other through another single busbar. In other words, each of the single busbar that is sectioned is connected to the upper disconnect switch and the lower disconnect switch of the circuit breaker 76. In order to realize such a configuration, it is required to match relationships between the heights of the supporting bases 44 and 45, the lengths of the circuit breakers, and the interval H between the branch lead-out ports. For example, the configuration of the present embodiment can be realized by uniforming the shapes of the tanks of the circuit breakers and setting the heights of the supporting bases 44 and 45 to the interval H. Such a configuration is preferable because the tank of the circuit breaker is standardized.
The circuit breaker of the busbar section line unit can be a horizontal circuit breaker similarly to the first embodiment even when using a single-busbar system. In other words, this configuration can be realized by constituting the units using the same-shape circuit breaker tanks without using a supporting base and arranging the circuit breaker of the busbar section line unit on the same horizontal surface as that of a single busbar. However, in such a configuration, although the size of the height direction can be suppressed because a base is not present, the length of the parallel direction of the unit gets long by one unit.
According to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the entire length of unit by using reasonable arrangement structure in which a single busbar is provided in a line.
Moreover, the length of the circuit breaker tank can be standardized in a plurality of line configurations. In this way, the connection conductor inside the circuit breaker tank can also be standardized.
According to the present embodiment, a space is provided between the busbar-side device and the line-side device of the power transmission/reception line unit, for example, by setting the relation between L1 and L2 to L1<L2 as shown in
In the first embodiment, the operating device of the circuit breaker is provided on the upper side of the circuit breaker. However, in the second embodiment of using a single-busbar system, the operating device is not limited to this configuration and can be provided on the lower side of the circuit breaker tank because the second embodiment does not relate to an effect obtained by providing the operating device on the upper side of the circuit breaker as explained in the first embodiment.
As described above, the gas insulated switchgear according to the present invention is suitable for reduction of total installation space in a substation.
