Abstract

In a gas-insulated switchgear having an isolated-phase bus, a current-carrying bus (2) with a given external radius R.sub.1 is arranged coaxially in a cylindrical enclosure with a given external radius R.sub.2, the voltage of the current carrying bus is measured using optical fiber voltage transducers. For this purpose, at least three identical piezoelectric sensor elements are provided. They are arranged essentially at a distance corresponding to the internal radius R.sub.2 from an axis of the current carrying bus in the enclosure at identical angular distances. The sensor elements are preferably accommodated together with an optical fiber curent transducer in a metal ring that can be inserted into the enclosure.
