Abstract: An electric device (100) comprises a gasket system (10) comprising a gasket (1) which is configured to be non-permeable for an insulating fluid used for the operation of the electric device. The gasket system further comprises an imbibing material (2) which is configured to absorb the insulating fluid used for the operation of the electric device. The gasket and the imbibing material are arranged one after the other in a region of the electric device, which is to be sealed so that, if the insulating fluid used for the operation of the electric device passes the gasket, the insulating fluid will hit the imbibing material.
