Abstract
A high voltage wet-mate connection assembly (1) with electrically non-connected and connected modes, comprising a receptacle part (100) and a stab part (200). The stab part has an axially movable connection body (250) moving between non-connected and connected positions. The assembly has a connected mode metal encapsulation (50) encapsulating the contact location (40) at a shield distance from the contact location when in the connected position. The connected mode metal encapsulation (50) is in electrical contact with a main receptacle conductor (109), thereby having the same electric potential as the main receptacle conductor (109).
Claims13
A high voltage wet-mate connection assembly configured to be switched between an electrically non-connected mode and an electrically connected mode, comprising:
- a receptacle part and a stab part, the receptacle part comprising a main receptacle conductor and the stab part comprising a main stab conductor;
- wherein the stab part comprises an axially movable connection body, which is configured to move between a non-connected position and a connected position, the connected position being a position where the connection body is in a state inserted into the receptacle part;
- wherein the connection body comprises a stab contact face configured to engage a receptacle contact face of the receptacle part at a contact location when in the connected state, thereby providing an electric connection between the main receptacle conductor and the main stab conductor;
- a connected mode metal encapsulation, the outer faces of which encapsulate the contact location at a shield distance from the contact location, when in the connected position;
- and
- wherein the connected mode metal encapsulation is in electrical contact with the main receptacle conductor, thereby having the same electric potential as the main receptacle conductor.
