Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8908934A1] An electrical connector suitable for supply of power to electrical equipment which is installed and used underwater comprises a housing (1) filled with a liquid and accommodating an enclosure (2) also containing a liquid and at least one electrical contact (12). A pin of a plug is inserted through a valve (4) and into the enclosure (2) via a conduit (3) to provide an electrical connection with the electrical contact (12). Upon insertion of the plug, a push rod (19) actuates a valve (17) to evacuate substantially all of the liquid in the enclosure (2) into a gas-filled chamber (16) and the gas in the chamber (16) is displaced into the enclosure (2), such that the electrical connection within the enclosure (2) operates in a substantially liquid-free atmosphere.
