Title:
【発明の名称】抵抗が低く且つ可撓性が高い電気ケーブル及びその製造方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002512730
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An electrically conductive cable includes a number of conductive strands which are twined to form a wire rope. The wire rope is drawn through a die to reduce its diameter until the outer surface of the conductor is smooth and the cross section of the conductor is substantially circular. According to a presently preferred embodiment, the electrically conductive cable is successively drawn through four dies of decreasing diameter so that the overall diameter of the wire rope is reduced by at least approximately 18 percent. The resulting electrically conductive cable has the tensile strength advantage and the low resistance advantage of a solid conductor with the flexibility advantage of a wire rope cable. In addition, the smooth outer surface of the electrically conductive cable according to the invention is easily insulated with an extruded material.
