Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a new switchgear and more particularly to a switchgear for a receiving transformation apparatus and a receiving transformation apparatus using it.


A device such as a load switch for breaking a load current or a trouble current requires periodic maintenance, so that particularly for a class of device not lower than a high-voltage system, a circuit breaker or disconnecting switch for separating from the circuit at the time of test or inspection and a grounding switch for grounding the separated part are generally installed.


When either the term “circuit breaker” or the term “circuit breakers” is used hereafter Applicants intend that these terms are also understood to mean “disconnecting switch” or “disconnecting switches”, respectively, in accordance with their common usage in the relevant art.



FIG. 1 shows a single wire connection diagram of a switchgear composed of a load switch 1, a circuit breaker 2A, 2B, and a grounding switch 3A, 3B. In the prior art, the grounding switches on the primary and secondary sides of the load switch are used only at the time of inspection, so that as shown in FIG. 1, two grounding switches are mechanically connected and operated in connection with each other by one operation device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

When a switchgear is structured by the conventional method as shown in FIG. 1, three operation devices in total must be installed for the primary circuit breaker of the load switch, the secondary circuit breaker of the load switch, and the primary and secondary grounding switches of the load switch and a problem arises that the cost is increased. Further, in the primary and secondary grounding switches of the load switch, in order to prevent the circuit in the hot-line state from grounding by mistake, an interlock must be separately provided so that they cannot be operated unless the primary circuit breaker of the load switch and the secondary circuit breaker of the load switch are in an “Open” state. Also in the primary circuit breaker of the load switch and the secondary circuit breaker of the load switch, an interlock must be provided so that they cannot be operated unless the primary and secondary grounding switches of the load switch are in an “Open” state. Conventionally, in those devices, an electrical interlock is separately provided, resulting in complication of the system and increasing in the cost. Further, since an electrical interlock is used, in consideration of a case that the electrical interlock is not functioned as such at the time of loss of the control power of the system, there is a problem imposed in the reliability.


Further, in the aforementioned patent applications, although the circuit breakers and grounding switches are driven in connection with each other, a specific driving means for operating the primary and secondary circuit breakers and grounding switches by one operation means is not indicated.


The present invention is intended to provide a switchgear capable of connecting and surely switching primary and secondary circuit breakers and grounding switches and a receiving transformation apparatus using it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Embodiment 1


FIG. 6 is a schematic view of a switchgear having the operation device of the present invention structured on the basis of the single wire connection diagram shown in FIG. 2. On the primary side of a load switch 1, a circuit breaker 2A is installed via a connection conductor 4A and between the circuit breaker 2A and the load switch 1, a grounding switch 3A is installed. In the same way, on the secondary side of the load switch 1, a circuit breaker 2B is installed via a connection conductor 4B. The load switch 1 has a driving device for switching independently of switching of the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B.


The electrode structure of the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B is generally of a multi-band type or a tulip contact type, and the moving side thereof is in a bar shape, and the fixed side thereof is formed in a spring shape such as a multi-band or tulip shape and has a diameter smaller than that of the bar-shaped moving side, so that large force is required at the time of switching. Therefore, to perform a sure operation in switching, a mechanical connection means is necessary.


The respective circuit breakers 2A and 2B are switched by drive levers 7A via insulation operation rods 5. And, the respective grounding switches 3A and 3B are switched by drive levers 7B and can ground the circuits via grounding terminals 6.


The drive levers 7A and 7B of the circuit breakers and grounding switches are respectively connected to drive shafts 8A and 8B and the drive shafts 8A and 8B are respectively connected to a relay shaft 10 via relay levers 9 and link rods 11. To the relay shaft 10, an operation device 12 is connected and the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B, 4 units in total, can be switched by one operation device 12.


The circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B are respectively connected to the relay shaft 10 when the former is in the “closed” state and the latter is in the “open” state, so that when the circuit breakers 2A and 2B are in the “closed” state, the grounding switches 3A and 3B will not be in the “closed” state.


Further, when the relay shaft 10 is rotated counterclockwise in this state, the circuit breakers 2A and 2B can be put into the “open” state and the grounding switches 3A and 3B can be put into the “closed” state. However, also in this case, when the grounding switches 3A and 3B are in the “closed” state, the circuit breakers 2A and 2B will not be in the “closed” state. Therefore, malfunctions such as grounding a circuit under charging or connecting a circuit under grounding to a circuit under charging will not be caused mechanically and interlocks separately provided so as to prevent these conventional malfunctions are not required. Therefore, a system which is simpler and more reliable can be operated.


Further, as mentioned above, the switching operation requires large operation force and the units are mechanically interlocked with each other, so that it is preferable to provide a slight time difference in operation between the circuit breakers 2A and 2B beforehand. This time difference enables intentionally shifting the contact time between the contacts of the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and reducing the operation force applied to the operation device 12. By doing this, the contact positions are made slightly different.


According to this embodiment, on the primary and secondary sides of a device such as a load switch, circuit breakers and grounding switches can be surely switched highly reliably in a brief structure. Furthermore, in a device such as a load switch, when a circuit breaker for separating from the circuit at the time of test or inspection and a grounding switch for grounding the separated part are required, there is no need to separately install an interlock mechanism in each switch, and in the primary and secondary circuit breakers or grounding switches, an operation with a contact time difference provided can be performed, thus the operation force can be reduced.


Embodiment 2


FIG. 3 shows a single wire connection diagram when a three-position switch is adopted to each of the circuit breaker 2A and grounding switch 3A on the primary side of the load switch 1 and the circuit breaker 2B and grounding switch 3B on the secondary side thereof in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2.



FIG. 7 is a schematic view of a switchgear showing an embodiment of the present invention structured on the basis of the single wire connection diagram shown in FIG. 3. On the primary side of the load switch 1, a three-position switch 14A composed of the circuit breaker 2A and the grounding switch 3A is installed so as to ground the side of the load switch 1. In the same way, on the secondary side of the load switch 1, a three-position switch 14B composed of the circuit breaker 2B and the grounding switch 3B is installed. Also in this embodiment, the load switch 1 has a driving device for switching independently of switching of the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B.


The respective three-position switches 14A and 14B are operated by the drive levers 7 via the insulation operation rods 5, and when the drive levers are operated counterclockwise in the drawing, the circuit breakers 2A and 2B are “closed”, and when they are operated clockwise, the grounding switches 3A and 3B are “closed”. The drive levers 7 are respectively connected to the relay shaft 10 via the drive shafts 8, the relay levers 9, and the link rods 11. The relay shaft 10 is connected to the operation device 12 via the relay levers 9A and the link rod 11A, and the two three-position switches are operated by one operation device in connection with each other, thus the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B can be operated in a batch.


The three-position switches 14A and 14B are respectively structured so as to prevent the circuit breakers and grounding switches from putting into the “closed” state at the same time and the drawing shows the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B in the “open” state. When the relay shaft 10 is rotated counterclockwise in this state, the circuit breakers 2A and 2B are put into the “closed” state and the grounding switches 3A and 3B are put into the “open” state and when the relay shaft 10 is rotated clockwise, the circuit breakers 2A and 2B are put into the “open” state and the grounding switches 3A and 3B are put into the “closed” state. By use of this constitution, the circuit is not grounded by mistake, and no interlock device is necessary, and a switchgear which is simpler and more reliable can be provided.


The electrode structure of the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B in this embodiment is of a knife-edge type that two laminar moving electrodes are formed in a two-way, and force is applied to the opposite side by a spring, and the electrodes are held by the fixed laminar electrodes and make contact and in the same way as with Embodiment 1, large force is required for switching. Therefore, in the same way, the length of the connection means can be adjusted so as to operate the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B with a time difference provided.


According to this embodiment, on the primary and secondary sides of a device such as a load switch, circuit breakers and grounding switches can be surely switched highly reliably in a brief structure. Furthermore, in a device such as a load switch, when a circuit breaker for separating from the circuit at the time of test or inspection and a grounding switch for grounding the separated part are required, there is no need to separately install an interlock mechanism in each switch, and in the primary and secondary circuit breakers or grounding switches, an operation with a contact time difference provided can be performed, thus the operation force can be reduced.


Embodiment 3


FIG. 4 shows a single wire connection diagram when the load switch 1 is substituted for the voltage and current transformer 13 for an instrument in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. As shown in the drawing, in a device requiring circuit breakers and grounding switches on the primary and secondary sides thereof for maintenance or test such as the voltage and current transformer for an instrument other than the load switch, by use of the present invention, a switchgear which is simpler, more low-priced and highly reliable can be structured.



FIG. 8 shows an embodiment structured on the basis of the single wire connection diagram shown in FIG. 4. The switchgear has a constitution that on the primary and secondary sides of the voltage and current transformer for an instrument 13, in the same way as the case shown in FIG. 7, the three-position switches 14A and 14B are installed and the drive shaft 8 common to the three-position switches 14A and 14B is directly operated. Also in this embodiment, in the same way as with the case shown in FIG. 7, low cost, simplification, and high reliability can be expected. The voltage and current transformer for an instrument 13 is used to measure the electric energy.



FIG. 5 is a single wire connection diagram showing an example of a receiving transformation apparatus structured by using FIGS. 3 and 4 which is an embodiment of the present invention. By application of the present invention particularly in the field of receiving transformation apparatus as shown in this drawing, a switchgear which is low-priced and highly reliable can be supplied.


Also in this embodiment, the circuit breakers 2A and 2B and the grounding switches 3A and 3B can be operated with a time difference provided.


According to this embodiment, on the primary and secondary sides of a device such as a load switch, circuit breakers and grounding switches can be surely switched highly reliably in a brief structure. Furthermore, in a device such as a load switch, when a circuit breaker for separating from the circuit at the time of test or inspection and a grounding switch for grounding the separated part are required, there is no need to separately install an interlock mechanism in each switch, and in the primary and secondary circuit breakers or grounding switches, an operation with a contact time difference provided can be performed, thus the operation force can be reduced.
