water in an outdoor JB and effect on SWA glanded in on the lower edge

psychicwarrior

Outdoor electrics tripping out and located to a JB (above ground) with water in it  (not clear if its condensation [seemed a lot for that] or a failed stuffing gland on the top edge - favour the latter)

Box emptied and dried out.  however,  the outdoor SWA glands on the bottom edge were obviously soaked and water must have seeped down the 3-core (one as cpc) cable (which goes underground).  Armour tied to cpc at both ends.

Just curious on other folks experiences on whether cables ever dry out (to some / any extent)  and whether will perform fine for lifetime  ?

thank you

    thank you all for the comments

    of course it is best nothing like this scenario happens, but if it does it would  seem (in relation to implications from comments) that DaveZ comments would be the ‘best’ outcome, but in reality it is likely somewhere in between that and total bust - hopefully not too bad though.
