Cable connections

Electrical Connections. Electric current is brought from the transformers by air-cooled copper busbars and close to the electrode by water-cooled bus tubes and flexible cables, connecting to water-cooled copper contact plates at the electrode. The plates are held against the electrode by hydraulic pressure. The connectors are as short and as balanced as possible to allow cancelling of magnetic fields associated with individual conductors. 

Explosion-proof enclosures are characterized by strong metal enclosures with special close-fitting access covers and breathers that contain an ignition to the inside of the enclosure. Field wiring in the hazardous environment is enclosed in a metal conduit of the mineral-insulated-cable type. All conduit and cable connections or cable terminations are threaded and explosion-proof. Conduit seals are put into the conduit or cable system at locations defined by the National Electric Code (Article 501) to prevent gas and vapor leakage and to prevent flames from passing from one part of the conduit system to the other.

Also the cable alley should be easily accessible to make cable connections, and facilitate easy maintenance and regular checks, as illustrated in Figures 13.2 and 13.34.

By providing 12 turns of 150 mm mean diameter of the 50 mm flexible copper cable connecting each 60 kVAr capacitor bank a self-inductance of roughly 42.93 x 10 H can be introduced into each switching circuit, which will limit the switching inrush current to almost the permissible value of the making current (/, ) of the switching device. 

The determination of C, only requires the measured value Cg and no cable connection to the pipeline. This technique can be repeated at equal intervals Aa = ... 

Finally there are large plate anodes up to 1 m square with cable connections as hangers. Such anodes serve to drain stray currents in ships in fitting out or repairs (see Section 15.6). 

The anodes most suitable for burying in soil are cylindrical anodes of high-silicon iron of 1 to 80 kg and with diameters from 30 to 110 mm and lengths from 250 to 1500 mm. The anodes are slightly conical and have at the thicker end for the current lead an iron connector cast into the anode material, to which the cable connection is joined by brazing or wedging. This anode connection is usually sealed with cast resin and forms the anode head (see Fig. 7-2). Ninety percent of premature anode failures occur at the anode head, i.e., at the cable connection to the anode [29], Since installation and assembly costs are the main components of the total cost of an... 

A cathode cable is adequate for the return path of the protection current for individual storage tanks. In pumping stations with several storage tanks, each tank must be provided with a cable connection. If the tanks are connected to each other by electrical connections, then two cathode cable connections must be provided [2]. 

Figure 11 -7 shows the basic circuit diagram for a tank with two domes. The protection current flows via the two interconnected openers of the cover grounding switch to the cathode connection. If one of the covers is opened, the protection current circuit is broken and the tank grounded via the closing contact. The unconnected cable connection of the tank is without current and can be used for measuring potential. By this method, only one tank at a time is separated from the protection system while the other parts of the installations are still supplied with protection current. 

The resistance in the lead and the anode itself, which usually is so small that it can be neglected with extended cable connections, anodes or pipelines, the voltage drop in the metal must, of course, be taken into account.

Files had to be transferred from a control computer to a training simulator. At first, there was no direct connection the files were first transferred to a freestanding workstation and then from there to the simulator. To simplify the transfer, a direct cable connection was made between the control computer and the simulator.

Failures of impressed-current systems may occur not because of anode failure in a specific environment but because of poor integrity of the anode/cable connection or the use of an inferior cable insulation. Particular... 

It is necessary to ensure the integrity of anode cable connections and to give consideration to the number of such connections related to longitudinal resistance of the anode and current attenuation, if early failure is to be avoided. 

Magnetite anodes can be operated at elevated temperatures up to 90°C, with the limitation in temperature being failure of the anode cable connection and not the magnetite itself. 

Scrap steel In some fortunate instances a disused pipeline or other metal structure in close proximity to the project requiring cathodic protection may be used. However, it is essential in cases of scrap steel or iron groundbeds to ensure that the steelwork is completely electrically continuous, and multiple cable connections to various parts of the groundbed must be used to ensure a sufficient life. Preferential corrosion can take place in the vicinity of cable connections resulting in early electrical disconnection, hence the necessity for multiple connections. 

Magnetite Anodes of cast magnetite are now available. The anodes are produced as a hollow cylinder closed at one end (typically 60 mm diameter X 720 mm length). The method of cable connection is relatively difficult and requires the inner surface of the casting to be copper plated. At a current density of 75 Am consumption rates in seawater of less than 1 -5g/Ay are claimed. 

Figure 1. Sketch of an electrochemical cell whose equilibrium (open circuit) potential difference is AE. (a) Conventional configuration and (b) short-circuited configuration with an air gap. M and R are the electrodes, S is the solvent (electrolyte solution). Cu indicates the cables connecting the two electrodes to a measuring instrument (or to each other).

Cu is the metal constituting the cables connecting the terminals of the cell to the measuring instrument. The work to bring an electron from M to R is equal to eAE along the external circuit and includes the contributions of the two electrodes [Eq. (13)] which, however, cannot be measured separately if only cell (a) is used.
