16 of 56 SPECIFICATION AND RESIDUAL HAZARDS The following is the typical specification for SpecTRON 45 connectors and penetrators with 630 mm², 26/45(52) kV jumper cable and will differ for connectors terminated to umbilical power cores or internal pigtails, and in other situations. For connector specific information, please refer to product specific datasheets. -
Page 17: Misalignment Capability Of Wet Mate Connectors
For any wet mate pair, one connector must be rigidly mounted using a fixed mount kit, and the other half compliantly mounted. Siemens Energy Subsea offer two compliant kits which differ in the amount of compliance they offer. Allowable misalignments are defined relative to the mounting mounts in the plates in the mating/stab tool, rather than the connectors themselves. -
