Power switchgear

摘要

A vacuum valve includes a fixed side electrode on a fixed side current-carrying shaft and a movable side electrode on a movable side current-carrying shaft. An opening and closing unit is coaxially disposed with the movable side current-carrying shaft, and drives the movable side current-carrying shaft. A chattering suppression structure is coaxially disposed with the fixed side current-carrying shaft on the fixed side of the vacuum valve, and suppresses chattering. The opening and closing unit includes an electromagnetic operating mechanism which drives the movable side current-carrying shaft when energized. A contact pressure spring is coaxially disposed with the electromagnetic operating mechanism, and applies contact pressure between the movable side electrode and the fixed side electrode during contact closing of the vacuum valve. A release spring is coaxially disposed with the electromagnetic operating mechanism, and assists driving force of the electromagnetic operating mechanism during contact opening of the vacuum valve.

主权项

1. A power switchgear comprising:
a pressure tank in which insulating gas is filled; a vacuum valve which is contained inside said pressure tank, and in which a fixed side electrode provided on a fixed side current-carrying shaft and a movable side electrode provided on a movable side current-carrying shaft coaxially disposed with the fixed side current-carrying shaft are configured to be capable of being connected and disconnected; an opening and closing unit which is coaxially disposed with the movable side current-carrying shaft via an insulating rod connected to the movable side current-carrying shaft outside of said pressure tank, and drives the movable side current-carrying shaft; and a chattering suppression structure which is coaxially disposed with the fixed side current-carrying shaft on the fixed side of said vacuum valve, and suppresses chattering generated between the movable side electrode and the fixed side electrode during contact closing of said vacuum valve, wherein said opening and closing unit includes: an electromagnetic operating mechanism which drives the movable side current-carrying shaft via the insulating rod by being energized; a contact pressure spring which is coaxially disposed with said electromagnetic operating mechanism, and which is further compressed after the movable side electrode comes into contact with the fixed side electrode during contact closing of said vacuum valve, to apply contact pressure between the movable side electrode and the fixed side electrode; a release spring which is disposed in parallel to said electromagnetic operating mechanism, and assists driving force of said electromagnetic operating mechanism during contact opening of said vacuum valve; and a linking mechanism comprising a lever which is pivotally coupled to said electromagnetic operating mechanism and said release spring, and applies driving force to said release spring by actuation of said electromagnetic operating mechanism.
