Illustration of the “snorkel effect” principle
Danger!
Ensure that supply and discharge
cables/lines
(4)
are tightly sealed (see
) to prevent a “snorkel effect” in
rising water.
1 Ground level
2 Underground distribution system
3 Tray/flood-proof cover

Fig. 2
The seal must be gas-tight.
•
Use compression joints with an oil
stop etc.
•
Then encase the cable using a cast
resin fibre closure
(2)
.
Fibre enclosures outside the
underground distribution system:
Note!
•
Do not lay cables directly in the
ground!
•
A conduit
(1)
, among other things,
can be used to protect the cables!
