Abstract
A continuously transposed conductor (CTC) cable may include a plurality of electrically insulated strands arranged in first and second stacks with the plurality of strands successively transposed between the first and second stacks. The plurality of strands may include at least one strand having a plurality of component strands that are arranged in third and fourth stacks with the plurality of component strands successively transposed between the third and fourth stacks. Each of the components strands may include a conductor and insulation formed at least partially around the conductor.
Claims22
A continuously transposed conductor (CTC) cable comprising:
- a plurality of electrically insulated strands arranged in first and second stacks with the plurality of strands successively transposed between the first and second stacks, wherein the plurality of strands comprises:
- at least one strand comprising a plurality of component strands that are arranged in third and fourth stacks with the plurality of component strands successively transposed between the third and fourth stacks,
- wherein each of the plurality of component strands comprises a conductor and insulation formed at least partially around the conductor.
A continuously transposed conductor (CTC) cable comprising:
- a plurality of electrically insulated strands arranged in two stacks and successively transposed between the two stacks, wherein the plurality of strands comprises one or more strands that are formed as smaller continuously transposed conductors,
- wherein each smaller continuously transposed conductor comprises a respective plurality of component strands that are transposed between two component strand stacks,
- wherein each of the plurality of component strands comprises a conductor and insulation formed at least partially around the conductor.
