Fan engine room electrical equipment connection

The space in the fan engine room is narrow and the equipment is dense, and all kinds of electrical equipment such as generators, gearboxes, inverters and so on are connected to each other, and the industrial waterproof connector is facing complex working conditions here. Because the fan will produce strong vibration and shock during operation, the connector must have excellent vibration resistance. Its internal structure design uses a special locking mechanism and buffer elements, which can effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy to prevent the connection part from loosening or falling off. For example, some high-end industrial waterproof connectors use a dual locking structure, adding a snap lock on top of the threaded connection to ensure the reliability of the connection even under long periods of intense vibration.


At the same time, the electrical equipment in the cabin will generate heat, and the high temperature resistance of the connector is also required. In the material selection of connectors, high temperature resistant engineering plastics and metal materials are used, which can maintain good mechanical properties and electrical insulation properties in high temperature environments. For example, the use of special nylon materials, its thermal deformation temperature can be as high as 200 ° C or more, to ensure that there will be no softening or deformation in the high temperature environment in the fan cabin, to ensure the stability of the electrical connection.


Cable connection in tower barrel

As the supporting structure of the wind turbine, the tower barrel has a long cable connection length and needs to withstand its own gravity and the torsional force during the operation of the fan. The application of industrial waterproof connectors in the tower barrel must first meet the low resistance requirements of large length cable connections to reduce the loss in the power transmission process. To this end, the conductive parts inside the connector are made of highly conductive copper alloy materials, and undergo special surface treatment, such as silver plating, to further reduce the contact resistance and improve the efficiency of power transmission.


In terms of waterproof performance, the humidity inside the tower is high, and there may be a risk of rain leakage. The industrial-grade waterproof connector is designed with multiple seals, such as a combination of rubber seals and sealants, to ensure water resistance in harsh humidity environments. Its waterproof rating usually reaches IP68 or higher, and it can soak in water several meters deep for a long time without seepage, effectively preventing short-circuit failure caused by water intrusion.


In addition, the housing structure of the connector is designed with sufficient strength and flexibility to cope with the tensile and torsional forces that the cable in the tower barrel may be subjected to. The high-strength aluminum alloy shell is used, and special reinforcement treatment is carried out in the connection part, and a certain expansion space is reserved, so that the connector can adapt to the deformation of the cable under different working conditions, and avoid the connection damage caused by external force.


Wind farm monitoring is connected to the communication system


The monitoring and communication system of wind farm is very important for the operation and management of the whole wind farm. Industrial waterproof connectors are responsible for connecting various sensors, controllers and communication devices in this system to ensure accurate data transmission and timely response to instructions.


In harsh outdoor weather conditions, the protective performance of the connector is particularly critical. In the face of extreme weather such as high temperature, low temperature, sand and dust, and heavy rain, the shell material of the connector has good weather resistance. For example, the use of anti-ultraviolet aging engineering plastics, can be in direct sunlight for a long time without embrittlement and discoloration; The surface of the shell is specially treated to prevent dust and splash, to prevent sand and rain from entering the interior of the connection and affecting signal transmission.


At the same time, for the high-speed signal transmission requirements of the communication system, the connector has been optimized in terms of signal integrity. The internal shield structure is used to effectively isolate external electromagnetic interference and ensure the accuracy and stability of signal transmission. For example, when connecting high-speed data transmission lines, industrial waterproof connectorswith metal shielding layers are used, and the shielding efficiency can reach more than 90dB, greatly reducing the impact of electromagnetic interference on communication signals.

Electrical connection between photovoltaic modules


The photovoltaic module is the core unit of the photovoltaic power generation system, and the connection between the industrial waterproof connectors directly affects the collection and transmission efficiency of power. Because photovoltaic power plants are usually located outdoors in open areas, connectors need to be exposed to strong ultraviolet radiation for a long time. In order to meet this challenge, the shell material of the connector is made of materials with excellent anti-ultraviolet aging properties, such as special polycarbonate materials, which, after special formulation and processing process, can maintain good mechanical properties and appearance integrity under long-term ultraviolet irradiation, effectively extending the service life of the connector.


In the connection of photovoltaic modules, the contact reliability of the connectors is crucial. Because the current generated by the photovoltaic module needs to be transmitted to the bus box through the connector, if the contact is poor, it will lead to heat, increased power loss and even cause fire hazards. As a result, the conductive terminals inside the connector are made using a high-precision manufacturing process to ensure a tight connection to the photovoltaic module cable with extremely low contact resistance. At the same time, in order to adapt to different specifications of photovoltaic module cables, the connector connection design is flexible and diverse, such as plug-in connection or crimp connection, so that installation and maintenance personnel can operate according to the actual situation.


The connection between the bus box and the inverter

The role of the bus box is to summarize the current generated by a number of photovoltaic modules and then transmit it to the inverter, and the industrial waterproof connector undertakes the task of large current transmission in this link. In order to meet the requirements of high current transmission, the conductive parts of the connector have a large cross-sectional area and an efficient heat dissipation design. For example, a heat fin is set on the connector shell or a material with good thermal conductivity is used to dissipate the heat generated when the current passes through in time, prevent the connector from being damaged due to overheating, and ensure the stability and safety of power transmission.


When connecting the bus box and the inverter, because the distance between the two may be far, and there may be a certain topographic drop, the connector needs to have good bending resistance and tensile resistance. The cable is made of highly flexible materials, and special strengthening treatment is carried out at the connection part of the connector and the cable to prevent the internal wire from breaking due to bending or stretching during long-term use of the cable, affecting the power transmission.


Photovoltaic power station monitoring and data transmission system connection

The monitoring and data transmission system of photovoltaic power station can monitor the power generation status and environmental parameters of photovoltaic modules in real time, providing a basis for the operation and maintenance management of the power station. The industrial-grade waterproof connectors are responsible for connecting various monitoring devices, data collectors and communication modules in the system.


In the environment of strong ultraviolet radiation and large temperature difference between day and night, the material stability of the connector faces a test. In addition to the use of UV-resistant aging materials, the connector also has a temperature compensation connection structure. For example, an elastic element is installed inside the connector to automatically adjust the connection pressure when the temperature changes, ensuring the stability of the connection. When the temperature rises, the material expands and the elastic element shrinks appropriately, keeping the connection pressure unchanged; When the temperature drops, the material contracts and the elastic elements extend accordingly, compensating for the gap caused by the contraction, thus always ensuring a good electrical connection.


In terms of signal transmission, the connector can meet the transmission requirements of the photovoltaic power station monitoring system for different signal types (such as analog signals, digital signals). Its internal circuit design is optimized, the signal transmission bandwidth meets the needs of high-speed data transmission, and it has good anti-interference ability to ensure the accurate transmission of monitoring data and real-time monitoring of the power station operating status.

Industrial waterproof connectors


industrial waterproof connectors play an irreplaceable role in the development process of the new energy industry from wind power to photovoltaic power generation. Through optimal design and reliable application in different application scenarios, as well as remarkable results in actual projects, it provides a strong guarantee for the efficient operation of the new energy power generation system.
