Products

Electrical Penetrations for Nuclear Power Plant Containment Structures

Electrical Penetrations enable the passage of all types of cables through the containment structure, maintaining the integrity of the sealing in all operational scenarios (normal or during an accident), while simultaneously ensuring the continuity of electrical circuits.

Fault Processing Cabinets

Any change in the state of a contact inside the reactor building is transformed into an audible and visual signal according to a standardized sequence. The signal is transmitted to the control room and displayed on the control panel. Fault processing cards are grouped in cabinets with their protections and flashers. They are assembled on racks using connectors with card guides. The Fault Processing Cabinets are qualified for seismic resistance.
