[PSUBS-MAILIST] Electrical Penetrators

[Jon Wallace]

Don't know if this made it through the first time.


See GL Section 11:D:8.1 and 11:D:8.2
Electrical pressure hull penetrations and underwater plug connections 
are to be type approved.

A Blue Globe fitting wouldn't get approved without adequate testing.  I 
don't see anything prohibiting multi-conductor cable however GL does 
state that "Electrical conductors within the penetrating device shall be 
of solid material" which I assume means you can't use stranded wire.  
Seems strange to me but might be due to creep of water between the 
conductor and insulation?
