The protection of cable is very important, but in some environments, due to various reasons, the cable will be immersed in water. Can the cable be immersed in water for a long time? Let's have a brief look.

电缆线可以长期浸泡在水里吗?

Can cables be immersed in water for a long time?

在我国城市电缆通道的建设当中，大部分都是有积水现象的，而时间长久之后电缆桥架如果不能够及时的进行更换，就会产生损坏现象，从而使电缆线直接疾跑在积水当中，运行的十千伏电缆大部分都在污水里，使用的电缆排管的通道中间接头也都泡在水里，这种现象是非常危险的。

In the construction of urban cable channels in China, most of them have ponding, and if the cable bridge is not replaced in time after a long time, it will be damaged, so that the cable runs directly in the ponding. Most of the running 10kV cables are in the sewage, and the middle joints of the cable drain pipes are also soaked in the water, This phenomenon is very dangerous.

当然现在电缆线的质量越来越高，如果短期浸泡在水中的话，其影响并不是很大，但是如果长期浸泡是有着很大的隐患，所以如果一旦发现电缆积水现象，一定要及时的进行处理，并且如果电缆保护外套有破损的话，必然会导致水树枝型爬电，影响导电质量。

Of course, the quality of cables is getting higher and higher now. If they are immersed in water for a short time, the impact is not great, but if they are immersed in water for a long time, there is a great potential safety hazard. Therefore, once the cable ponding is found, it must be treated in time, and if the cable protective jacket is damaged, it will inevitably lead to water tree branch creepage and affect the conductive quality.

所以电缆线如果有浸水现象，要及时的进行处理，同时要定期的对电缆桥架进行检查，如果发现其有使用质量问题，要及时的进行更换，对电缆线进行一个更好的保护

Therefore, if the cable is immersed in water, it shall be treated in time, and the cable bridge shall be inspected regularly. If it is found that it has service quality problems, it shall be replaced in time to better protect the cable
