Electrical Cable Installation Concern

Electrical Cable Installation Concern

(OP)
I have watertight cable types running thru a Quazite box that collects a fair amount of water that reaches above the cables.  What electrical issues might/will I have occurring?

RE: Electrical Cable Installation Concern

(OP)
200VDC rated 646kcmil single-conductor EPR/XLPO in one box and LSTSGU 3-conductor, 100VAC 400MCM with Si rubber insulation and XLPO jacket.

Sorry that was to be "2000VDC" not 200VDC.

If splices are submerged they simply need to be properly executed.
