Alternative Energy: Seal Electrical Connections
Service Detail from Douglas Electrical Components
Douglas Electrical Components provides hermetic feedthrough solutions for a wide range of alternative energy applications, including smart grids, wind turbines, wave and tidal power, lithium batteries, hybrid and electric vehicles, solar energy, and energy storage systems. These feedthroughs create reliable seals between environments, protecting electrical connections exposed to liquids, gases, and harsh operating conditions while enabling efficient power and signal transmission.
As alternative energy systems often operate in extreme or hazardous environments, Douglas designs custom hermetic sealing solutions that perform under high pressure, vacuum, cryogenic temperatures, and exposure to chemicals or gases such as hydrogen. The company supports both hazardous and non-hazardous applications, including gas storage systems that require compliance with standards like IEC 60079, and offers explosion-proof feedthrough options.
Douglas also supports energy infrastructure such as transformers used in wind and power distribution systems, with solutions designed for both onshore and offshore environments. Their epoxy-based hermetic technology, combined with customizable housings and interfaces, ensures durability and long-term performance.
With 100% leak and electrical testing, pressure capabilities from ultra-high vacuum to 15,000 psi, and fully customizable designs, Douglas delivers reliable feedthrough solutions for emerging energy technologies, helping improve safety, efficiency, and system performance.
