Rating an enhanced strength conductor

A method comprising:

• manufacturing a conductor comprising a conductor core and a plurality of conductor strands, the conductor core comprising a plurality of core strands and a core elongation at an ultimate tensile strength of the conductor core, wherein manufacturing the conductor comprises;:
• providing the conductor core comprising a first material, and
• stranding the plurality of conductor strands around the conductor core, the plurality of conductor strands comprising a second material, wherein an elongation of the plurality of conductor strands is one of the following:
• greater than the core elongation and equal to the core elongation, the second material configured to cause the plurality of conductor strands not to break at the elongation of the plurality of conductor strands;
• and
• rating the manufactured conductor with a composite rated breaking strength equal to as calculated by an equation:
• the composite rated breaking strength=(ncon*STRcon*RFcon)+(ncore*STRcore*RFcore);
• wherein:
• ncon is a number of conductor strands in the plurality of conductor strands;
• ncore is a number of core strands in the plurality of core strands;
• STRcon is an average breaking strength of the conductor strands in the plurality of conductor strands at the core elongation;
• STRcore is an average breaking strength of the core strands in the plurality of core strands at the core elongation;
• RFcon is a rating factor of the plurality of conductor strands;
• and
• RFcore is a rating factor of the plurality of core strands.
