Abstract
An electric current supply system () is designed to be at least partially submerged in an electrically conductive liquid during operation thereof, and having at least one electrically conductive component () enveloped in liquid-tight material (). The component () has a sacrificial material that is capable of reacting electrochemically with the liquid. Further, the component () has at least one gas trap portion () at which the sacrificial material occupies a space in the liquid-tight material () that is thereby defined with a gas trapping shape. If, in case of damage to the system () in an actual submerged state thereof, the component () gets exposed to the liquid, it is achieved that an electrochemical reaction occurring at the exposed area of the component () and an outflow of electric current to the liquid are stopped.
