Abstract
Continuously transposed conductor (“CTC”) cables are described. A CTC cable may include a plurality of electrically insulated strands connected in parallel at their ends. Additionally, each strand may include one or more conductors and an extruded insulation layer formed at least partially around the one or more conductors.
Claims31
A continuously transposed conductor (CTC) cable comprising:
- a plurality of electrically insulated strands connected in parallel at their ends, each strand comprising:
- a conductor;
- and
- an extruded insulation layer formed at least partially around the conductor.
1 more element
A method for forming a continuously transposed conductor (CTC) cable, the method comprising:
- forming a plurality of electrically insulated strands, wherein each strand is formed by:
- providing a conductor;
- and
- extruding an insulation layer at least partially around the conductor;
- and
- arranging the plurality of strands into two interposed stacks such that each strand successively takes on each possible position within a cross-section of the CTC.
3 more elements
A conductor for use in a multiple parallel conductor cable, the conductor comprising:
- an electrically conductive core;
- and
- an extruded insulation layer formed directly on and at least partially around the conductive core.
An electrical device comprising:
- at least one winding of a multiple parallel conductor cable, the multiple parallel conductor cable comprising:
- a plurality of electrically insulated strands connected in parallel at their ends, each strand comprising (i) a conductor and (ii) an extruded insulation layer formed at least partially around the conductor.
