THROUGH THE CORES OF THE CABLE INTO THE MOTOR CHAMBER IN THE EVENT OF A CUT
CABLE. THE CABLE IS ALSO SHEATHED FOR THE FIRST ONE METER BY MEANS OF A CABLE
GRIP MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL. THIS IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO
UNDUE STRAIN ON THE CABLE IF THE PUMP IS PULLED OR LOWERED INADVERTENTLY BY
MEANS OF THE CABLE. COMPLETE DETAILS OF THE CABLE GLAND ASSEMBLY ARE SHOWN IN
