Processes for making electrical cables

A process for making a cable, comprising:

• cabling three insulated electrical conductors and metallic elements together;
• centrally disposing one or more core elements between the three insulated electrical conductors, wherein the core elements partially fill an interstitial space located between the three insulated electrical conductors;
• seam welding a metallic layer about the three insulated electrical conductors and the metallic elements, wherein the metallic elements partially fill an interstitial space located between the three insulated electrical conductors and the metallic layer, and wherein the three insulated electrical conductors each comprise:
• an electrically conductive core;
• a layer of electrically insulating material disposed about the electrically conductive core;
• and
• a layer of metallic strands disposed about the layer of electrically insulating material;
• and
• drawing down the metallic layer about the three insulated electrical conductors and the metallic elements to produce an electrical cable.
