Appl. No.:

12/277962

Inventors:

Barry Fisher - Marion IN, US
Gregg Szylakowski - Bargersville IN, US
Mark Easter - Indianapolis IN, US

Assignee:

General CableTechnologies Corporation - Highland Heights KY

International Classification:

H01B 1/00

US Classification:

174102SC, 174113 R

Abstract:

A low-voltage electrical power cable that includes of at least one uninsulated ground conductor and at least one insulated power conductor. The ground conductor and the power conductor are covered with an electrically conductive composition such that the power conductor contacts the electrical conductive composition for improving the flow of a fault current to the ground conductor and to trigger a circuit breaker when the low-voltage power cable is damaged by generating the fault current without the presence of a ground check wire.

International Classification:

H01R 13/58

US Classification:

439465000

Abstract:

An improved fault protected electric power cable is disclosed. In the improved fault protected electric power cable, there are at least two insulated power conductors and an uninsulated ground conductor wherein the ground conductor and the insulated power conductors are all in electrical contact with a conductive polymer composition. If an electrical fault occurs in one of the power conductors the conductive polymer composition will carry the current to the ground conductor.

US Classification:

524444, 524588, 524493, 524456, 2641761

Abstract:

Improved silicone rubber compositions, including silicone wire and cable insulations and jackets are disclosed. Silica fillers of specified surface area in specified amounts give silicone wire and cable insulations and jackets with improved abrasion resistance. These insulations and jackets are useful in wires and cables that require heat resistance, fire resistance and low temperature flexibility. Low cost formulations that can find use in new applications are disclosed.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to materials for making cable jackets, particularly riser and plenum cables. The materials provide low flammability and allow the cable to meet UL 910 or NFPA 262 or UL 1666 specifications. The material contains PVC resin, a plasticizer, a metal oxide particle, and optionally a brominated phthalate. Preferably, the metal oxide particle is spherical amorphous silicon dioxide. More preferably, the spherical amorphous silicon dioxide has a mean particle size of about 100-200 nm and/or a BET surface area of about 10-30 m/g. The metal oxide particle is also preferably metal oxide particle non-porous, non-ionic, and/or non-hydrated.
