Page 22 - Electrical Solutions for Power Generation
Basic HTML Version
If dew point, moisture or liquid breaches an
electrical product, it poses a serious and
potentially compounding threat to power
generation operations. Power plants must
prevent liquid ingress in order to:
• Ensure electrical safety
• Prevent corrosion
• Avoid system degradation
• Minimize costly downtime
Wiring systems are a prime concern for protection.
Proper product selection and installation minimize
the amount of condensed moisture and rain
water flowing into electrical system enclosures.
Waterproof materials, watertight devices,
sealing systems and compounds are among the
approaches to mitigating liquid ingress concerns.
At Thomas & Betts, we offer moisture protection
systems and equipment such as liquid-, moisture-
and vapor-tight fittings; waterproof interconnection
systems; watertight connectors and insulating
covers; and watersafe boxes. We also provide
training and support to ensure proper product
installation and maximum protection from
liquid ingress.
