Abstract
A cable system is provided which is configured with both electric wires and a fluid conduit running through the axial passage of a surrounding flexible sheath of the cable. The system allows for communication of electricity over the wires for electrical circuits and concurrent communication of a fire ignition suppressant fluid or gas through the fluid conduit, to all points in an electric circuit using the cable. One or both of a dye or scent can be included in the ignition suppressant fluid.
Claims74
A cable for an electrical power delivery station, the cable comprising:
- a sheath with an axial pathway running a length of the cable between a first end of the cable and a second end of the cable;
- a plurality of electrically conductive wires running through the axial pathway of the sheath for the length of the cable, each of the electrically conductive wires configured to communicate electricity from the first end of the cable to the second end of the cable;
- and
- one or more fluid conduits immediately adjacent to the plurality of conductive wires within the sheath, each of the fluid conduits having a sidewall surrounding an axial passage thereof that provides a defined flow path for a fluid that is therein to flow between the first end of the cable and the second end of the cable and to cool an interior of the sheath,
- wherein one or more of the plurality of electrically conductive wires is embedded within the one or more fluid conduits.
