Patent ID: 7679022

Claim:
A vacuum insulated switchgear comprising: an earthed metal case having a low voltage control section, a switch section, a bus-bar section and a cable section, being mutually partitioned by earthed metal plates; a vacuum double break switch having breaking and disconnecting functions, and a vacuum earthing switch connected to one fixed contact of the vacuum double break switch, wherein the vacuum double break switch and the vacuum earthing switch are disposed in the switch section of the case; an operator for opening and closing the vacuum double break switch, connected to first and second operating mechanisms that are respectively connected to movable contacts of the vacuum double break switch and the vacuum earthing switch, wherein the operator and the first and second operating mechanisms are disposed in the low voltage control section of the case, and wherein the low voltage control section is located in a front side of the case; a bus-bar disposed in the bus-bar section; and a terminal introduced into the cable section, which is located at the rear end of the case and arranged to be connected to a cable in the cable section, one end of the terminal being connected to the switch and the other end arranged to be connectable to the cable in the cable section in the case and to thereby permit the cable to be connected with the terminal therein so as to extend vertically from the terminal in a space extending in the cable section and along a rear side of the case relative to the front side of the case.
