Abstract

Installation for electric connection of devices placed inside the containment of a PWR, comprising a first cable associated with each electric device, extending from the device and connected to a fixed connector installed above the cover of the reactor vessel. A second cable is connected to the connector and to a connector fixed to a plate remote from the reactor vessel. Each second cable is formed from several sections including a first section for connection to the fixed connector above the cover and to a lead-in connector at the end of a leak tight conduit installed horizontally above the cover and a second section inside the conduit. A third section is adapted for connection to a lead-out connector from the conduit and to the connector fixed to the plate at a distance from the reactor.
