Dungeness B Link Boxes
EDF Nuclear Power plant - Preventative Maintenance Plan
EDF Energy operates nuclear reactors strategically located across power plants in the UK. Each power plant is subjected to a ‘Statutory Outage’ every three years to permit preventative and curative maintenance to be undertaken, ensuring continued safe operation and power generation.
During the 2017 outage at the Dungeness ‘B’ power plant, PD Devices supplied four replacement SVL Link Boxes to protect the 400kV cables of generator Circuit 21. SVL Link Boxes allow the cross-linking of cable armoured sheaths, providing protection against potentially damaging overvoltage conditions and reducing wasteful circulating currents.
