Technical Field

The invention relates to a compact circuit breaker for Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) in the medium and high voltage range.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a circuit breaker housing for a gas insulated switchgear.

Background

In a GIS (gas insulated switchgear), a circuit breaker as a main part of a rack is capable of interrupting power between a bus bar and a feeder. In recent designs, the circuit breaker housing has a vertical orientation and has not more than three flanges for mounting switchgear devices (e.g. earthing switches, busbars, current or voltage transformers) in order to connect them to different connection points of the interrupting chamber by means of so-called common point conductors. The connection of three or more switchgear devices is called a common point. In the field of wind energy with 72.5kV GIS, the market is growing. The complete module has to be integrated into the tower. However, since the inner diameter is about 6.0m in general, the space is limited.

Moreover, as illustrated by fig. 1 (which represents a typical configuration of a current circuit breaker), an additional external casing 2 must be assembled to the circuit breaker in order to connect three or more switchgear devices to the interruption chamber 4.

It is possible that each of the same circuit breakers would have one common point with three connections or even two common points with two connections would facilitate a more intelligent and cost effective modular construction. Such a configuration. Existing circuit breaker designs do not allow for such a configuration.

To overcome the above drawbacks, the present invention proposes a compact GIS module for industrial or wind park applications, which is cost-effective, which reduces the amount and weight of insulating gas.

Disclosure of Invention

To achieve this object, the invention proposes a circuit breaker housing for a Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) in the medium and high voltage range, comprising at least four flanges allowing a plurality of common points to be arranged so that conductors from different switchgear devices can be directly connected to the circuit breaker.

According to the invention, the circuit breaker housing comprises two pairs of identical flanges arranged diametrically opposite on each side of the housing.

According to another aspect of the invention, the circuit breaker housing comprises at least two common point connections symmetrically arranged on each side of the interrupting chamber.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least one disconnector (disconnector) earthing switch, the at least one anti-earthing switch, the at least one cable interface and the at least one voltage transformer are assembled directly with the circuit breaker.

Advantageously, the circuit breaker according to the invention has an oval housing with a thin breaking chamber, a new fixed support for the breaking chamber and new connection points on both sides of the breaking chamber.

Detailed Description

In the remainder of this description, like reference numerals will refer to like elements in different embodiments of the invention.

Fig. 2 shows a first embodiment of a circuit breaker 8, comprising a case 10, a first insulating support 12 arranged on top of the circuit breaker 8, a first flange 13, a second flange 14, a third flange 16, a fourth flange 17, a second insulating support 18 arranged on the bottom of the circuit breaker 8, a first insulating plate 20 and a second insulating plate 22 arranged on one side of the case 10, corresponding to the first flange 13 and the second flange 14, respectively, and a third insulating plate 24 and a fourth insulating plate 26 symmetrically arranged on the other side of the case 10, corresponding to the third flange 16 and the fourth flange 17, respectively. The circuit breaker 8 further comprises a first interrupting chamber 30 with two electrical connection points 34, 36 and a second interrupting chamber 32 with one electrical connection point 38, which are arranged inside the housing 10. The circuit breaker 8 also comprises a common point 40 which connects the first interruption chamber 30 to both the electrical connection point 36 and a fourth electrical connection point 42, which fourth electrical connection point 42 connects the first interruption chamber 30 to another switchgear element (for example a disconnector).

Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the circuit breaker 8, which comprises a housing 10, a first insulating support 12 arranged on top of the circuit breaker 8, a first flange 13, a second flange 14, a third flange 16, a fourth flange 17, a second insulating support 18 arranged on the bottom of the circuit breaker 8, a first insulating plate 20 and a second insulating plate 22 arranged on one side of the housing 10, and a third insulating plate 24 and a fourth insulating plate 26 symmetrically arranged on the other side of the housing 10. The circuit breaker 8 further comprises a first interrupting chamber 30 with one electrical connection point 50 and a second interrupting chamber 32 with one electrical connection point 52 arranged inside the housing 10. The circuit breaker 8 further includes: a first common point 40, which connects the first interruption chamber 30 simultaneously to an electrical connection point 50 and to a fourth electrical connection point 42, which fourth electrical connection point 42 connects the first interruption chamber 30 to another switchgear element (for example a disconnector); and a second common point 54, which connects the second interruption chamber 32 simultaneously to the electrical connection point 52 and to a fourth electrical connection point 56, which fourth electrical connection point 56 connects the second interruption chamber 32 to another switchgear element (for example a disconnector).

Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of a circuit breaker 8, which comprises a housing 10, which housing 10 encloses a first interrupting chamber 30 with two electrical connection points 34, 36 and a second interrupting chamber 32 with one electrical connection point 38. The circuit breaker 8 also comprises one common point 40, which connects the first breaking chamber 30 to both the voltage transformer 60 (via the electrical connection point 36) and the cable interface (via the fourth electrical connection point 42). The first interrupting chamber 30 is also connected to an anti-ground switch 64 via an electrical connection point 34. In this example, the second interrupting chamber 32 is connected to a disconnector grounding switch 66 via an electrical connection point 38.

Thanks to the proposed configuration of the invention, it is possible to have a common point connection for connecting up to three flanges to the same connection point of the interruption chamber, allowing to build new GIS arrangements. The footprint requirements of all devices assembled directly to the circuit breaker are relatively small, which results in a compact layout.

The new possible GIS module is cost effective, with a smaller footprint, reduced weight and reduced amount of insulating gas.
