More Information
Summary:A subsea power distribution module 106 includes an outer vessel 108 defining an interior chamber 110 and a plurality of power modules 112 disposed within the interior chamber 110. The outer vessel 108 is configured to maintain a pressure within the interior chamber substantially the same as an ambient pressure outside the outer vessel. Each power module 112 includes a pressure vessel defining an interior chamber and a power converter disposed within the interior chamber of the pressure vessel. Each pressure vessel is configured to maintain a substantially constant pressure within the interior chamber of the pressure vessel.
