SpecTRON 8 is Siemen Energy’s solution for small multiphase pumping, electro-submersible pumps (ESPs), tidal/wave energy machines, and long step-out control systems.  It is a compact, three-phase connector solution which can be connected by remotely operating vehicles (ROVs) as well as application specific “Stab” plates.  The product range includes umbilical termination units, high pressure penetrators and a feed-through system for in-well single and dual ESP systems.

The SpecTRON 8 dual penetrator solution has been specifically designed and developed for subsea ETH projects. The product consists of the following:-

A Dual Penetrator - 3.8/6.6(7.6)kV, 120A, 300bar rated bi-directional Dual Penetrator assembly system utilising metallic sealing.

The penetrator assembly is utilised to penetrate the annulus in PiP ETH systems.

Cold Splice - 3.8/6.6(7.6)kV, 120A rated splice assembly utilised to terminate the inboard side of the Dual Penetrator assembly to the ETH cables.

Hot Splice - 3.8/6.6(7.6)kV, 120A rated splice system used to splice the ETH cables along the length of the PiP. Utilises triple layer elastomeric moulding for electric field control and allows for quick and reliable splicing operations.
