Patent number: 10916881Abstract: A high voltage wet-mate connection assembly (1) with electrically non-connected and connected modes, comprising a receptacle part (100) and a stab part (200). The stab part has an axially movable connection body (250) moving between non-connected and connected positions. The assembly has a connected mode metal encapsulation (50) encapsulating the contact location (40) at a shield distance from the contact location when in the connected position. The connected mode metal encapsulation (50) is in electrical contact with a main receptacle conductor (109), thereby having the same electric potential as the main receptacle conductor (109).Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Benestad Solutions ASInventor: Johannes Arngrim Vassgård

Patent number: 10833449Abstract: High voltage, subsea connection assembly having a male part (101) comprising a male housing (103) with a liquid chamber (110), and a male housing aperture (107). A male pin (106) is positioned within the male housing aperture. A female part (1) has a female housing (5) with a liquid chamber (10) with a dielectric liquid, and a male pin receiving aperture (7). The male pin is axially movable into and out of the female housing (5). An aperture channel (8) has a rear section (12), the radial inwardly directed face of which together with an outer radial face of the male pin (106) defines a flushing gap (14) when the male pin (106) is positioned in the rear section (12). An exit channel (16) is arranged in the aperture channel, between the rear section, and the male pin receiving aperture or the male housing aperture.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Benestad Solutions ASInventor: Johannes Arngrim Vassgård

Publication number: 20200287312Abstract: A high voltage, subsea connection assembly having a male part (101) and a female part (1). A radially inwardly facing female electric contact face (25) is axially movable with respect to the housing (5). A male pin (106) moves from a non-connected into a connected position along a first and a succeeding second insertion section. Along the second insertion section, the female contact face (25) is axially aligned and moves with the male electric contact face (113). The female part (1) has a radial actuation means (30) to move the female contact face (25) radially inwards when the female electric contact face (25) moves along the second insertion section, such that the electric contact faces (25, 113) of the male part and the female part, respectively, are forced radially against each other by radial force from the radial actuation means (30).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2017Publication date: September 10, 2020Applicant: Benestad Solutions ASInventor: Johannes Arngrim VASSGÅRD

Publication number: 20200287317Abstract: A subsea HV connection assembly comprising a male part (101) with an axially movable male pin (106) with a electric contact face. The male pin is supported in a support (103). A female part (1) has a female contact face (25), a female housing (5) and a male pin receiving aperture (7). The female housing (5) or the support (103) is flexibly supported to a support section (15, 115) over a flexible support arrangement (9). The flexible support arrangement (9) comprises a pivoting member (11) with an outer pivot face (14) in sliding engagement with an inner pivot face (16), wherein the pivot faces have the shape of a section of a concentric sphere, wherein the pivoting member (11) is configured to pivot with respect to the inner pivot face (16) about a pivotal point (24).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2017Publication date: September 10, 2020Applicant: Benestad Solutions ASInventor: Johannes Arngrim VASSGÅRD
