AI Technical Summary
Existing cable lug devices for offshore wind turbine installations fail to protect cables and connectors from severe damage during emergencies like storms or earthquakes, and do not facilitate easy disconnection for maintenance or repair.
An emergency break cable lug device featuring a pin element and socket element with an elastic element and a fastening device, allowing the pin element to exit the socket element upon a predefined threshold force, ensuring safe disconnection without damage to the cables or connectors.
The emergency break cable lug device effectively prevents severe damage to cables and connectors by releasing the connection at a predefined force, enabling safe and easy disconnection for maintenance or repair, while maintaining electrical contact until the threshold is exceeded.
