A MODIFIED SEALING MECHANISM FOR GAS INSULATED SWITCHGEAR AND GAS INSULATED SWITCHGEAR WITH MODIFIED SEALING MECHANISM, THEREOF.

摘要

A modified sealing mechanism for Gas Insulated Switchgear having a ground plane to house conductors in a flanged housing, said mechanism comprising an insulating ring adapted to envelope an operative top end of said ground plane in order to provide electrical isolation between said ground plane and said flange, said insulating ring being juxtaposed in between said ground plane and said flange portion of the housing enveloping said ground plane, characterized in that: said insulating ring further comprising multiple projections; and said ground plane further comprising multiple slots in a pre-defined manner. A Gas Insulated Switchgear with said modified sealing element is also provided.
