ABSTRACT:
A capacitive electrical connector apparatus for electrical signal or power coupling in a submerged environment. The connector consists of a first member and a second member disposed adjacent one another which are adapted for mechanical mating. Each member comprises an electrode, the electrodes being located opposite to one another and each provided with a dielectric layer at its surface directed to the surface of the other electrode. The electordes are adapted to be connected electrically to respective installation parts to be capacitively coupled. The first and second members mate mechanically in such a way that a cavity remains between the electrodes. When submerged, the cavity is filled with a conductive fluid such as seawater, or, for example, an aqueous drilling fluid.
