Abstract
A power cable (10) has a metal conductor encased in a first outer sheath (11), and further encased, partially along the length of the cable, in a second outer sheath (12, 13, 14) which influences the pattern of deformation of the cable under mechanical stress.
Claims18
A power cable comprising a metal conductor encased in a first outer sheath, and further encased, partially along the length of the cable, in a second outer sheath encasing the first outer sheath which influences the pattern of deformation of the cable under mechanical stress, wherein at least one of the first outer sheath and the second outer sheath is a heat shrink material.
A power cable, comprising:
- a conductor;
- a first layer encasing the conductor;
- and
- a second layer encasing a plurality of portions of the first layer and decreasing deformation to the power cable in the plurality of portions.
A power cable, comprising:
- a conductor having a first end and a second end;
- a first terminal at the first end of the conductor;
- a second terminal at the second end of the conductor, the conductor having a length extending between the first and second terminals;
- a first layer adjacent the conductor and continuous along the length of the conductor;
- and
- a second layer selectively coupled to the first layer to reduce deformation of the power cable under mechanical stress in the region of the second layer.
