Electrical Penetration Assemblies for Maritime Vessels
Advantages
Eternaloc® hermetically-sealed penetrations for use in nuclear marine applications have a number of key qualities:
The penetration system also includes connectors qualified for use in nuclear-powered submarines. The plugs are easy to connect and allow fast exchange of tails in case of a system modification.
Additionally, SCHOTT electrical penetration assemblies for ships and submarines undergo vigorous tests under various forms of stress to meet advanced system specifications:
- Pressure resistant
- Flame-retardant, maintaining electrical functionality for an extended period at elevated temperatures
- Highest quality standards combined with leading engineering know-how
- Virtually no aging-related wear of the conductors and glass seal
- Sealed conductors carry up to 1000 Amperes while permanently retaining hermeticity
- A lifetime of up to 40 years (qualified life)
- High shock resistance against torpedo impact
The penetration system also includes connectors qualified for use in nuclear-powered submarines. The plugs are easy to connect and allow fast exchange of tails in case of a system modification.
Additionally, SCHOTT electrical penetration assemblies for ships and submarines undergo vigorous tests under various forms of stress to meet advanced system specifications:
- Shock load
- Burst pressure
- Hydrostatic pressure
- Vibration
- SOLAS Fire Test
- Short circuit test
Applications
Our glass-to-metal sealed electrical penetration assemblies are used for Light Water Reactors (LWR) such as Boiling Water Reactors (BWT) and Pressurized Water Reactors (PWT) on nuclear-driven ships, submarines, ice breakers, aircraft carriers, and floating nuclear power plants.
Technical Details
Eternaloc® penetrations for use in nuclear marine applications, notably for those in ships and submarines, utilize compression glass-to-metal sealing (GTMS) technology. Please contact our sales department or refer to our technology pages for more information about GTMS.
