Abstract
An electrical conductor may be provided. The electrical conductor may comprise a conductor core comprising a plurality of core strands. Each of the plurality of core strands may comprise a first material. The electrical conductor may further comprise a plurality of conductor strands wrapped around the core. The plurality of conductor strands may comprise a second material. An elongation of the second material may be greater than 1% and may be less than an elongation percentage of the first material or may be equal to the elongation percentage of the first material.
Claims20
An electrical conductor comprising:
- a conductor core comprising a plurality of core strands, each of the plurality of core strands comprising a first material;
- and
- a plurality of conductor strands wrapped around the core, the plurality of conductor strands comprising a second material, wherein an elongation of the second material is greater than 1% and wherein the elongation of the second material is one of the following:
- less than an elongation percentage of the first material and equal to the elongation percentage of the first material.
An electrical conductor comprising:
- a conductor core comprising a first material and having a core elongation;
- and
- a plurality of conductor strands, the plurality of conductor strands comprising a second material, wherein the elongation of the plurality of conductor strands is one of the following:
- greater than the elongation of the conductor core and equal to the elongation of the conductor core.
