The present invention includes a cable having reduced surface friction and the method of manufacture thereof including steps in which a conductor wire is coated with a first plastic material and with a mixture of a second plastic material and lubricating material and the coated conductor wire cooled. The cable includes at least one conductor core and at least two coatings of plastic material and incorporates a lubricating material in and/or on the outer layer of plastic material. The equipment for the manufacturing of the electrical cable includes a reel for supplying a conductor wire to an extruding head, which is connected to tanks containing plastic material and lubricating material for coating the conducting wire, and a reel for taking up the cable.
A method for the manufacture of an electrical cable including:
An electrical cable including at least one conductor core and at least one coating of plastic material having a lubricating material incorporated therein.
An apparatus for the manufacture of an electrical cable including a reel for supplying a conductor wire to an extruding head, said extruding head connected to a tank containing plastic material for coating the conducting wire, and a reel for taking up the cable, including a device for providing a lubricating material to the extruding head.
An apparatus for the manufacture of an electrical cable including a reel for supplying a conductor wire to an extruding head, said extruding head connected to a tank containing plastic material for coating the conducting wire, and a reel for taking up the cable, including a device for providing a lubricating material to the tank containing plastic material.
A method for manufacturing an electrical cable, comprising:
An electrical cable comprising an electrical conductor wire coated with a first plastic material, said first plastic coated conductor wire coated with a mixture of a second plastic material and a lubricating material.
