Benefits of technology

[0025] It is also an object of the present invention to provide an electrical transmission cable of the type stated in which the ends of the cable can easily be spliced together at an on-site location and with much less labor intensity than the splicing of a steel core cable and at significantly less cost.
[0037] The actual splicing operation can be conducted more quickly and with less labor intensity then when attempting to splice steel core conductors together. In addition, and since the inner core is formed of a reinforced composite material, the spliced section has essentially the same strength as any other portion of the entire conductor.

Problems solved by technology

Heretofore, there have been numerous problems arising out of the use of the steel core, as identified above, although there has been no successful current carrying conductor which utilizes a reinforced plastic composite inner core.

Embodiment Construction

[0049] Referring now in more detail and by reference characters to the drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention, C1 illustrates an electrical transmission cable having a reinforced plastic composite load bearing core 10 and a plurality of outer layers of aluminum wire 12 and 14 extending thereabout.

[0050] By further reference to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the load bearing core 10 includes a solid reinforced plastic composite member. Also, in the embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 1 and the subsequently illustrated and described embodiments, there are three outer aluminum layers 12, 18 and 14 (see FIG. 1), although it should be understood that any number of outer layers could be employed depending upon the desired thickness of the outer current conducting sheath to be formed over the core. It can be observed that in this construction, the cable C1 is similar in appearance to a conventional steel core cable. Consequently, it can be laid in the same fa...

Abstract

A method for increasing the current carried between two high voltage conductor support powers is provided. The method includes removing a first high voltage carrying cable mounted between the towers and replacing it a composite core cable.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 037,814, filed on Dec. 28, 2001, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09 / 500,285 filed on Feb. 8, 2000, now abandoned.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This invention relates in general to certain new and useful improvements in electrical transmission cables and, more particularly, to electrical transmission cables which have a composite reinforced component to provide loading capabilities. [0004] 2. Brief Description of the Related Art [0005] In electrical conductors and, particularly, long distance electrical conductors, copper was frequently employed because of its superior conductive properties and was widely used until about the time of World War II, at which point its primary use was directed to war efforts. Prior to that time, and even thereafter, conductor technology and the selection and mixture of different wir...
