Design and Testing of Safety-Level Electrical Connectors in Nuclear Power Plants
In order to realize the reliable transmission of safety-level instrument signals,detachable electrical con-nectors are often used to connect instruments and cables,as well as cables and cables in nuclear power plants.This paper investigates the technology of electrical connectors,and designs a safety-level electrical connector with a simple structure,reliable performance and easy operation and installation that can effective absorb the vibration load in earthquakes and serious accidents and withstand irradiation aging and thermal aging for a longer time.Based on the developed prototype,the functional performance test and identification test are carried out.Test results show that the safety-level electrical connector has very high reliability,which can meet the needs of nuclear power plants in the environment of accidents and be promoted to the application fields in other harsh environmental conditions.
