US Patent:

20130168126, Jul 4, 2013

Filed:

May 27, 2010

Appl. No.:

13/699999

Inventors:

Frank Kuchta - Lexington SC, US
Patrick Coplen - Lexington SC, US
Gonzalo Chavarria - Lexington SC, US
Nathan Kelley - Lexington SC, US

International Classification:

H01B 7/36

US Classification:

174102SC, 174105 SC

Abstract:

An electrical power cable has an outer semi-conductive layer extruded around and in contact with an outermost layer of a cable jacket. The jacket may have a plurality of polymeric layers. The semi-conductive layer is distinguishable from the outermost layer of the jacket immediately underneath it by at least color and possibly also texture. The distinguishable characteristics between the semi-conductive layer and the outermost layer of the jacket decrease the risk of inadvertent damage to the jacket when removing the semi-conductive layer for jacket integrity tests.

H01B 7/18

Abstract:

An electrical cable may include: at least two first members extending along a length of the electrical cable, each of the first members including a conducting element and an insulating layer radially external to the conducting element; at least two second members extending along the length of the electrical cable, each of the second members including a strength element and a conductive layer radially external to the strength element; and/or the first and second members being stranded around and in contact with a cradle extending along the length of the electrical cable. The cradle may be made of polymeric material having a tensile modulus greater than or equal to 1 GPa and a Vicat softening temperature greater than or equal to 125 C.
