Metal sheathed cable assembly with non-linear bonding/grounding conductor

A metal clad cable, comprising:

• at least one conductor assembly, the conductor assembly having an electrical conductor and a layer of insulation extending around and along the length of said electrical conductor;
• a non-linear bonding/grounding conductor;
• and
• a metal sheath disposed over the at least one conductor assembly and the non-linear bonding/grounding conductor;
• wherein the non-linear bonding/grounding conductor is in contact with an inner surface of the metal sheath and provides a resilient coupling between the metal sheath and the at least one conductor assembly.

A method of making a metal clad cable, comprising:

• providing a plurality of electrical conductor assemblies, each of the electrical conductor assemblies having a conductor with an insulating layer;
• providing a non-linear bonding/grounding conductor, the non-linear bonding/grounding conductor having a plurality of undulations along a length thereof;
• associating the bonding/grounding conductor with the plurality of electrical conductor assemblies;
• and
• surrounding the plurality of electrical conductor assemblies and the non-linear bonding/grounding conductor with a metal sheath such that an inner surface of the metal sheath is in direct contact with the bonding/grounding conductor.
