Seismic Absorbers for electrical and I&C cabinet protection
A1731
In order to successfully qualify new electrical and I&C equipment, the seismic capacity of concerned structures, systems and components has to be assessed and often reassessed for higher seismic demands due to changing regulations.
Framatome seismic absorbers, once installed, lowers seismic excitation levels of existing and new instrumentation and control (I&C) cabinets to improve plant reliability and ease qualification process.
