SAFE REEFER SOCKET<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022When the reefer containers arrive at terminal or the ship, have to be connected to the electrical supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022For this they have an electrical cable that ends in a plug for connecting to the reefer socket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022The disconnection of this plug is manual. While charging, the plug is mechanically locked to the socket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Current reefer socket are thought as a mechanism fixed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

PROBLEMS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The current operation frequently causes a feefer container to move without disconnecting. As the various elements are interlocked, a break occurs in the hose, in the plug or in the reefer socket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022  This break appear with the electrical system on load. With risk of electric arc, short circuit and its consequences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

GOAL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to desing an electrical socket specially designed for powering reefer containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The socket terminals will no be part of the fixed link, but may be aligned wit the pulling force of the hose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our socket will permit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • That the power supply is disconnected before removing the plug from the reefer socket. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • That the reefer socket aligns with the mechanically pulled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • That the plug comes out of the reefer socket when pulling the hose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Of course, the health and safety conditions provided for current regulations for electrical system, working outdoors and manually operated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
