Claim Text:
1. A gas-insulated switchgear bay comprising: at least three conductor phases for different electrical potentials; and at least three circuit breakers each respectively provided for a corresponding one of the at least three conductor phases, wherein: each conductor phase is configured to be interrupted by its corresponding circuit breaker; shapes of the circuit breakers define a longitudinal direction; at least one of the circuit breakers includes a first power connection which defines a first axis which extends orthogonally with respect to the longitudinal direction; the at least one of the circuit breakers includes a second power connection which extends orthogonally with respect to the longitudinal direction in the same direction as the first power connection, the second power connection defining a second axis; the at least one of the circuit breakers is configured to be electrically conductively connected via the first power connection to a respective gas-insulated third busbar conductor of a third busbar section, such that the third busbar conductor defines a third axis which extends orthogonally with respect to the longitudinal direction and orthogonally with respect to the first axis; the third busbar section includes a third busbar housing in which all of the third busbar conductors are arranged in a common gas area; a first distance between the first axis and the second axis is of a size such that the switchgear bay may be assembled either a) in a first mounting state comprising a first busbar section and the third busbar section connected to the first power connection; or b) in a second mounting state comprising the third busbar section connected to the first power connection; and a second busbar section connected to the second power connection.
