ABSTRACT:
An electrical cable connector for conducting electricity across the interface of two areas containing two different fluids having substantially the same pressure and that are subjected to rapid increases in pressure. The electrical cable connector includes a hollow housing positioned between the two areas of fluid, an electrical cable extending into the housing, and a sealing assembly for sealing the space between the electrical cable and the inner surface of the housing to prevent fluids from passing between the two areas. The sealing assembly includes an annular sealing element or elements, optional O-rings, a bushing, a compression spring for axially compressing and thereby radially biasing the sealing element or elements, a conductor connector end, and a locking ring. The sealing elements are pressure energized and are generally U-shaped in longitudinal cross section, having first and second concentric leg portions. A porous material, a series of protrusions, or a substantially incompressible, dielectric flowable material is located between the leg portions of the sealing element or elements to prevent them from collapsing upon themselves due to rapid increases in pressure on the sealing element or elements.
