Abstract
1. A pre-assembled cable assembly for a penetrator body or pothead comprises at least one cable located in a volume of the penetrator body or pothead, the volume around the cable being encapsulated in a low temperature alloy. The cable or cables may include a spliced electrical connection located a volume of the penetrator body or pothead such that the volume around the spliced electrical connection being encapsulated in a low temperature alloy.
Claims26
A pre-assembled cable assembly for a penetrator body or pothead, comprising:
- at least one cable located in a volume of the penetrator body or pothead;
- the volume around the cable being encapsulated in a low temperature alloy.
An assembly according to any previous claim, wherein cable is metal clad.
A cable assembly for at least one cable includes a spliced electrical connection, comprising:
- at least one spliced cable;
- and
- a splice tube surrounding the at least one spliced cable, defining a volume between the cable and the splice tube;
- the volume being encapsulated in a low temperature alloy.
A method of disassembling a pre-assembled cable assembly for a penetrator body or pothead, the assembly having at least one cable located in a volume of the penetrator body or pothead and the volume around the cable being encapsulated in a low temperature alloy, the method comprising remelting the low temperature alloy.
