| Zusammenfassung: | A high-voltage underwater electrical connector is provided that includes first and second connectors each having a positive contact and a negative contact. The electrical connector further includes an auxiliary electrode made from a conductive material electrically connected to the first positive contact. A voltage limiting circuit electrically connects the auxiliary electrode to the positive contact. A high resistance water pathway is created between the auxiliary electrode and the negative contacts when the first and second connectors are mated while immersed in water or other corrosive environments. |
