Abstract:
1. An electric power distribution switchgear comprising: a grounded encapsulation, a plurality of at least partly parallel adjacent electric conductors arranged inside the grounded encapsulation and arranged to carry a high voltage, a first pair of bodies provided on opposite sides of a portion of a first conductor of the plurality of electric conductors as seen in a first direction, a second pair of bodies provided on opposite sides of the portion of the first conductor as seen in a second direction, the second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction, wherein said second pair of bodies are arranged so as to be electrically disconnected from the first conductor, and wherein a spacing between the first pair of bodies is larger than a spacing between the second pair of bodies, a first body of said second pair of bodies comprising a second conductor of the plurality of electric conductors, a second body of said second pair of bodies comprising a lateral wall element of the ground encapsulation, and a third body of said first pair of bodies comprising a switching device to which the first conductor or an adjacent conductor of the plurality of electric conductors is electrically connectable, characterised in that, in the portion of the first conductor in which said first conductor is surrounded by said first pair and second pair of bodies, a cross section of said first conductor has a substantially oval or substantially elliptical shaped outer periphery, and the cross section of said first conductor has a larger dimension in the first direction than in the second direction.
