A gas-insulated switchgear comprising a gas-insulated first hermetic
vessel, at least one electric device selected from a group consisting of
an interrupter, a disconnector, a grounding switch and a load switch
contained within the hermetic vessel. The switchgear also comprises a
cable bushing having a first end that passes through and is secured to a
lower vessel wall of the first hermetic vessel and connected to the
electric device and a second end that is connectable to a cable, and bus
conductor bushings mounted to the hermetic vessel. The switchgear may
further comprise a second gas-insulated hermetic vessel disposed between
the first vessel and the bus conductor, containing a disconnector or a
disconnector and a grounding switch together, and an electrically
insulated sealed terminal. The switchgear is compact and inexpensive, free
from the damegaes by the explosive phenomenon due to the arc
short-circuiting faults.
