Integrated Gas Insulated Switchgear Linear Operating Rod

The patent combines the circuit breaker and disconnector into a single integrated housing case, eliminating the need for separate housing cases. The operating mechanism integrates both components through a unified structure where the circuit breaker and disconnector share common mounting and control systems, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining independent maintenance capability through modular internal design.

The circuit breaker and disconnector are merged into a single housing case, eliminating the need for two separate housing cases. This integration significantly reduces the overall device volume by removing redundant structural elements, mounting brackets, and sealing components that would be present in separate housing configurations.

The integrated operating mechanism incorporates a mechanical interlock system that performs preliminary verification of the correct operation sequence. Before allowing disconnector operation, the system checks whether the circuit breaker is in the appropriate state, and only then permits disconnector actuation. This preliminary action prevents incorrect operation sequences that would generate arcs, thereby eliminating safety hazards while maintaining operational flexibility.

The integrated operating mechanism employs a self-service mechanical interlock system that automatically enforces the correct operation sequence without requiring external control systems or complex electronic controls. The mechanical design itself provides the control logic, where the physical configuration of linkages and interlocks ensures that only valid operation sequences are mechanically possible, thereby simplifying overall control complexity despite the integrated design.
