Friction reducing electrical cable ring

An improvement to an electrical cable to reduce the friction between the electrical cable and a ground surface that the electrical cable is placed, wherein the improvement comprises:

• means for elevating said electrical cable above said ground surface disposed along a longitudinal length of said cable.

An improvement to an electrical cable to reduce the friction between the electrical cable and a ground surface that the electrical cable is placed, wherein the improvement comprises:

• a plurality of spaced-apart rings disposed around said electrical cable, each of said rings secured to said electrical cable at a predetermined location along a longitudinal length of said electrical cable.

A method for making a friction-reducing ring for placement around an electrical cable, comprised of the steps of:

• a. providing said ring with a first inside diameter;
• and
• b. treating said ring sufficient to provide a treated ring, said treated ring having a second inside diameter for said treated ring, said second inside diameter being less than said first inside diameter.

A friction reducing electrical cable ring, comprising:

• (c) a continuous one piece body that is generally round and includes an outside diameter and an inside diameter, and
• (d) means for securing said body over at least one electrical cable, and wherein said body includes a first end and an opposite second end, and wherein said first end includes a groove and said opposite second end includes a tongue that protrudes from said opposite second end, and wherein when said ring is disposed around said at least one electrical cable, said tongue is disposed in said groove, and including means for retaining said tongue in said groove.
