The torque limiter includes a flywheel, a clutch plate, a spline hub, a clutch disc assembly and a transmission torque limiting part. The flywheel includes a friction coupling surface. The clutch plate includes plural axial through holes. Plural friction members are respectively attached to the through holes. The spline hub can be engaged with a transmission-side shaft. The clutch disc assembly circumferentially elastically couples the clutch plate and the spline hub. The transmission torque limiting part limits torque to be transmitted from the flywheel to the transmission-side shaft while the friction members are interposed and held between the transmission torque limiting part and the friction coupling surface of the flywheel.

A gas-insulated switchgear includes: a circuit breaker; a connection bus bar; a first disconnect switch; a second disconnect switch; a line bus bar; a main bus bar; and an abutment. The circuit breaker includes first and second branch outlets provided on a side surface of a cylindrical circuit breaker tank. The connection bus bar has one end connected to the first branch outlet. The first disconnect switch is connected to the other end of the connection bus bar. The second disconnect switch is connected to the second branch outlet. The line bus bar is led out from the second disconnect switch in a horizontal direction. The main bus bar is arranged above the second disconnect switch coaxially with the second branch outlet. The abutment is fixed to a top portion of the second disconnect switch and supports the main bus bar from below.
Abstract:
A disc rotor 10 has an annular sliding portion 11 and a hat portion 12 integrally provided at the inner periphery of the sliding portion 11. The sliding portion 11 has an annular braking portion 11a which is nipped between front and back friction pads 20 at the time of braking. A plurality of circular non-penetrating holes 11a2 are provided on front and back annular contact surfaces S of the braking portion 11a of the sliding portion 11 against which friction materials 21 of the corresponding brake pads 20 are pressed at the time of braking. The centers of the non-penetrating holes 11a2 are located at different positions in the rotor radial direction. The non-penetrating holes 11a2 are disposed at predetermined intervals in the rotor circumferential direction. Thus, it becomes possible to reduce the amount of wear of the friction materials 21 caused by the circular non-penetrating holes 11a2 (provided for restraining fading which occurs due to gas generated from the friction materials of the brake pads through thermal decomposition caused by friction heat at the time of braking).
Abstract:
A switchgear having an electrified conductor accommodated in a tank in which insulating gas is contained includes a fixed contact connected to the electrified conductor, a movable contact installed to be contactable and separable to and from the fixed contact, an insulating rod that is externally extended from inside of the tank while being electrically insulated from the tank and turned by an operation device, and an insert that is extended from an end of the insulating rod toward the movable contact and is rotatably supported by a holding part installed in the electrified conductor. A flange part that is installed in the insert at a position where the holding part opposes the insulating rod and is extended in a substantially right-angle direction with respect to a direction of a rotation axis of the insulating rod is formed on the insert.

Abstract:
A motor driving apparatus comprises: an AC/DC converter which converts AC voltage supplied from an AC power source into DC voltage through PWM switching control of a power switching device; and a DC/AC converter which converts the DC voltage into variable-frequency AC voltage for driving a motor in a controlled manner. The AC/DC converter includes: a control unit which generates, based on an error between the DC voltage and a DC voltage command value, a PWM signal for the PWM switching control of the power switching device; and a frequency/gain varying unit which sets the frequency of the PWM signal to be generated by the control unit and a control gain in the control unit higher than their normal levels during a period in which a load in the DC/AC converter varies.
