Abstract: An electromechanical actuator includes an electrically insulating rod, an electrically insulating cover at least partly encompassing the electrically insulating rod, and an elastomeric diaphragm. The electrically insulating rod has a body, a first actuation portion connected to an electromechanical drive mechanism arranged in a first region, and a second actuation portion for actuating an electromechanical actuation mechanism arranged in a second region. The elastomeric diaphragm unit is arranged between the body and the cover. The elastomeric diaphragm unit has a flexible membrane electrically separating the first region from the second region. The elastomeric diaphragm unit is coated on at least one surface of the membrane with a semiconductive layer.

Abstract: A bushing adapter comprises an insert having a bore extending through the insert along a length direction of the insert and a fastening member extending through the bore. The insert is configured to be attached to a bushing conductor of a bushing. The fastening member has an operating portion positioned outside of the bore at a bushing internal end of the fastening member and a fastening portion positioned outside of the bore at a bushing external end of the fastening member.

Abstract: A system for transmitting electric power through a wall, including a housing intended for being rigidly connected to the wall, and two penetrator sub-units on either side of the housing, each including a conductive element and an insulating element rigidly connected to one another. The system is arranged so as to maintain electrical contact between the conductive elements of the penetrator sub-units while enabling the conducting elements to move axially relative to one another. The insulating elements of the two penetrator sub-units engage with the housing such that the compression forces to which each penetrator sub-unit is exposed are at least partially transmitted to the housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system (11) for transmitting electric power through a wall (10), including a housing (40) intended for being rigidly connected to the wall, and two penetrator sub-units (12, 22) on either side of the housing, each including a conductive element (14, 24) and an insulating element (13, 23) rigidly connected to one another. The system is arranged such as to maintain electrical contact between the conductive elements of the penetrator sub-units while enabling the conducting elements to move axially relative to one another. The insulating elements of the two penetrator sub-units engage with the housing such that the compression forces to which each penetrator sub-unit is exposed are at least partially transmitted to the housing.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an electrical, optical or hydraulic connector (1) equipped with an electrical, optical or hydraulic plug, respectively, intended to be connected to an electrical, optical or hydraulic base, that self-aligns the plug (3) relative to the base (5), particularly for “offshore” connections, in which the plug (3) and the base (5) are attached to respective support parts (11, 7) intended to be positioned with respect to one another in order to approximately align the plug (3) and the base (5) in order to connect said plug and base to one another, characterized in that it has a mechanical driving mechanism (19) enabling the plug (3) or the base (5) to move forward or backward, in order to be connected into the base (5) or the plug (3), respectively, and a self-aligning mechanism (17) for the plug (3) or the base (5) relative to the base (5) or the plug (3), respectively.

Abstract: A high-voltage electrical connector, including, on the one hand, at the connection of a contact part and of a corresponding electrical conducting cable of at least one connector part and, on the other, at a take-up of an electromagnetic shielding element of at least one connector part, at least one air-tight cavity that is electrically isolated and able to collect air imprisoned in the electrical conducting cable.
