Model of Remote Diagnostics of Sealed Cable Glands at NPP

A mathematical model of remote diagnostics of the condition of sealed cable glands in NPP was developed based on an analysis of methods and techniques used in on-line monitoring of sealed cable glands. The availability of a mathematical model of the condition of sealed cable glands is important for practical purposes and necessary for their reliability assessment under NPP operating conditions, especially for preventing critical and emergency situations. The model has been tested on experimental samples of sealed cable glands. Its application makes sealed cable glands more reliable and thereby reduces the risk of emergencies.
