Abstract
A high-voltage electrical cable assembly includes a central wire strand containing at least seven wires formed of a first alloy and a plurality of outer wire strands twisted around the central strand. At least one outer wire strand of the plurality of outer wire strands contains at least seven wires formed of a second alloy different from the first alloy. There is an electrochemical potential of about 2 volts between the first alloy and the second alloy. A method of assembling a high-voltage electrical cable assembly is also presented herein.

A high-voltage electrical cable assembly, comprising:
- a central wire strand formed of a first alloy containing at least seven wires;
- and
- a plurality of outer wire strands twisted around the central strand wherein each wire strand of the plurality of outer wire strands is formed of a second alloy and excludes the first alloy, wherein each of the outer wire strands contains at least seven wires, and wherein there is an electrochemical potential of about 2 volts between the first alloy and the second alloy.
A method of assembling a high-voltage electrical cable assembly, comprising:
- providing a central wire strand formed of a first alloy containing at least seven wires;
- and
- twisting a plurality of outer wire strands around the central strand, wherein each wire strand of the plurality of outer wire strands is formed of a second alloy and excludes the first alloy, wherein each of the outer wire strands contains at least seven wires, and wherein there is an electrochemical potential of about 2 volts between the first alloy and the second alloy.
