Mechanical support of transient recovery voltage capacitor within circuit breaker low pressure tank

摘要

A gas blast circuit breaker consists of a generally flattened spherical configuration in which the circuit breaker interrupters are disposed along the major axis of the tank which is at ground potential. Transient voltage recovery capacitors, which are electrically connected between the transmission line coming into the circuit breaker and ground on the line side of the circuit breaker, are physically mounted within the tank at outer diametrical regions of the tank between the end of the interrupters and the interior surface of the tank.
