Title:
SUBMARINE WORKING CABLE AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/010829
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
Submarine working cables (10) for supplying power to submersibles, for information exchange between the submersibles and a mother station and for load handling in the manner of a crane cable for carrying the submersible, are intended to exhibit as high a load-bearing capacity as possible. At great water depths, the dead weight of the submarine working cable (10) reduces the load-bearing capacity thereof. Therefore, for great working depths, submarine working cables (10) have to be provided with an above-average large cross section of strands that can be loaded under tension. The invention provides for a part of the strands (44) of the submarine working cable (10) that absorb tensile loads to be made of a high-tensile, non-metal material, i.e. carbon. This reduces the dead weight of the submarine working cable (10), with the result that it can bear higher loads than submarine working cables (10), load-bearing, tension-absorbing strands of which are made entirely of steel.
