Abstract
Abstract Utilizing existing shipboard waterproof transition fittings (kickpipes) and existing ground adapters to protect cables routed between topside and below-deck or intercompartmental spaces have created performance degradation of over 120 dB. These electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic pulse (EMI/EMP) protection devices are called ground adapters since they attempt to protect below-deck systems from various high-level electromagnetic (EM) threats by shunting high-level currents into the ground plane. Specifically, these shield and conduit ground adapters (SGAs/CGAs) are devices designed to establish a 360-degree, low-impedance, wide-band, long-term electrical connection between either a cable's shield or a shield conduit and the ground structure through which the cable or conduit passes. This low-impedance connection is designed to reduce and/or eliminate EMI and/or EMP problems by shunting undesired high-level electromagnetic (EM) currents into the system's ground plane before reaching be...
