    摘要: A noise reduction device for a transformer is proposed. In this device, a blocking means or a connection support means is installed in a winding installed in an inner space of an enclosure in order to remove vibration and noise generated in the enclosure of the transformer. In a low voltage winding and a high voltage winding constituting the winding, when a current is applied, a magnetic flux flow is generated, thereby generating electromagnetic force. The electromagnetic force is transmitted to surfaces of the enclosure through insulating oil or the like inside the enclosure, causing vibration and noise. In order to cancel and eliminate the electromagnetic force, the blocking means or the connection support means is used. According to the disclosure, the electromagnetic force is canceled, thereby reducing the noise and vibration.

    摘要: Proposed is an air gap adjustment apparatus. The apparatus is for enabling an air gap between the inner surface of a stator and the outer surface of a rotor, which are installed in an inner space of a housing, to be uniform overall. A plurality of fastening holes are formed so as to surround a shaft through hole of an end plate constituting the housing. A fastener, which has passed through a bearing housing of a bearing, is fastened to each fastening hole so as to mount the bearing to the end plate. An adjusting member body of an adjusting member, which has passed through the bearing housing, is positioned in an adjusting member seating part which is formed at the entrance of each fastening hole. The adjusting member rotates about the adjusting member body so that a head part may adjust the position of the bearing.

    摘要: A movable part of a circuit breaker for a gas-insulated switchgear is proposed. The movable part includes a puffer cylinder, a nozzle, a main contact, etc. An outer rib at the rear end of the nozzle is hooked to a hook rib at the front end of the hook part of the puffer cylinder. A chamber guide is provided inside the puffer cylinder so that the nozzle is immobilized. The main contact is mounted on the outer surface of the front end of the hook part. In the present invention, the number of components constituting the movable part of the circuit breaker is reduced, and the number of bolting points is reduced, thereby greatly reducing man-hours in an assembly work and preventing a main contact separation from occurring due to bolt loosening.
