A compression spring 39 is provided between each vacuum interrupter 30 and the connection conductor 35 in order to restrain the vacuum interrupter 30 from moving.

In addition, a pair of voltage dividing capacitors 49 are provided. This is because the load of each vacuum interrupter increases because the balance of the respective voltage sharing in the pair of vacuum interrupters connected in series is greatly different, so that the voltage sharing of each vacuum interrupter becomes substantially the same. It is something that has been considered. As shown in FIG. 3B, rod-shaped voltage dividing capacitors 49 are arranged between the respective vacuum interrupters 30 and the case 29. As shown in FIG. 4, one end of the voltage dividing capacitor 49 is individually connected to the terminal 31 via the connection fitting 50, and the other end is connected to the connection conductor 35 via the connection conductor 51. That is, the mounting bracket 37 to which the connection conductor 35 is mounted.

As described above, the interiors of the bus tank 15, the equipment tank 13 including the connection tank 14, and the case 29 are airtightly constructed, and the three spaces are individually filled with insulating gas. ing.

Next, the operation of the gas insulated switchgear will be described. The procedure for replacing the vacuum interrupter 30 is as follows. First, after removing the operation means 28 in FIG. 2, the insulating gas in the case 29 is extracted through a valve or the like (not shown) attached to the partition plate 43. Next, the partition plate 43 is removed, and the bolt 38 shown in FIG. 3 is removed. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the pair of vacuum interrupters 30 can be pulled out of the case 29 by pulling the insulating rod 44 rightward.

Thereafter, a new vacuum interrupter 30
Is attached to the insulating rod 44, the vacuum interrupter 30 is inserted into the case 29 in the reverse order to the above, and then the partition plate 43 is attached. 28 is attached.

Since there is no need to remove the insulating gas from the equipment tank when replacing the vacuum interrupter, there is no need to open the delivery-side switch unlike the prior art.

[0020]

As can be seen from the above description, claim 1
According to the circuit breaker according to the above, the vacuum interrupters are housed side by side in a case made of an insulating material, and the voltage dividing capacitor is housed between the vacuum interrupter and the case, so that the circuit breaker is downsized. In addition, the opening of the tank containing the equipment was closed with a case, and the case was attached to the case with the case positioned inside the tank and the inside of the case opened to the outside of the tank, thereby separating the inside of the tank from the inside of the tank. In this state, the inside of the case can be filled with the insulating gas, and the vacuum interrupter in the case can be replaced without removing the insulating gas in the tank, so that the work of replacing the vacuum interrupter becomes easy.
Further, since the vacuum interrupter can be replaced without removing the insulating gas in the tank, there is no need to open the delivery-side switch unlike the related art.
