Explosion proof electrical connector system with quick power disconnect

摘要: An electrical connector system, particularly one that connects armored cables for oil wells through an upper surface is mated to a feed-through mandrel, automatically operates circuit breaker in the main power as unmated from mandrel. A pair of relay (R) wires are carried with conductors connector. set contacts, preferably pins and sockets, electrically connect R between The contacts mandrel wired together. Unmating withdraws their sockets which trips or otherwise breaker. Power (P) longer than so shut off before arcing can occur. Preferably this "quick disconnect" used conjunction improved lip seal formed on mating end resilient insulating body filling inner diameter less outer portion stretch thereby establish very tight fit when attached isolates interior connection site fluids surrounding sufficiently long it continues even during uncoupling prevent explosion due at contacts.
