Abstract
A technique enables protection of electrical conductors in a submerged environment, such as a wellbore environment. A connector system is employed to connect a submersible component with an electrical cable. The connector employs redundant seal systems designed to maintain functionality during the life of the system when utilized in high temperature environments. For example, the high temperature, redundant seal systems enable continued operation of the submersible component in a submerged environment of at least 600 degrees Fahrenheit.
