The busbar is formed by a solid-insulated busbar. The conductor connecting the vacuum circuit breaker to the busbar and the conductor connecting the vacuum circuit breaker to the grounding device are both formed by a solid-insulated conductor. The circuit breaker chamber and the grounding device have a sealed structure.
