A fluid-tight protection system is provided for an electromechanical component in a casing. An insulating absorbent covering layer which has a high capillary absorption capacity is disposed over joints or apertures in the casing requiring sealing. The covering layer is impregnated with a sealing compound which preferably has a thin liquid form during the impregnation. An impermeable film may also be provided to cover the absorbent covering layer.
