Abstract
The present invention relates to a surface modified overhead conductor with a coating that allows the conductor to operate at lower temperatures. The coating contains about 5% to about 30% of an inorganic adhesive, about 45% to about 92% of a filler, about 2% to about 20% of one or more emissivity agents, and about 1% to about 5% of a stabilizer.
Claims24
An overhead cable comprising a bare conductor coated with a coating layer containing about 5% to about 30% of an inorganic adhesive, about 45% to about 92% of a filler, and about 2% to about 20% of one or more emissivity agents.
A method for making a surface modified overhead conductor comprising the steps of
- a. preparing a bare conductor;
- b. applying a liquid coating mixture on the surface of a conductor to form a coated conductor, wherein the liquid coating comprises 45-55% solid content and the solid content contains about 5% to about 30% of an inorganic adhesive, about 45% to about 92% of a filler, and about 2% to about 20% of one or more emissivity agents;
- and
- c. drying the coated conductor.
