Three-conductor cable
A three-conductor cable ( 10 ) including three stranded electric cables ( 1 ), each having a core that has a current conductor ( 2 ) and a neutral and/or return conductor. Each individual cable ( 1 ) is essentially characterized in that the neutral and/or return conductor is configured from a number of individual conductors ( 4 ), distributed concentrically around the current conductor ( 2 ), that an insulating sheath ( 3 ) is provided between the current conductor ( 2 ) an the distributed individual conductors ( 4 ) of the neutral and/or return conductor and that a protective jacket covers the neutral and/or return conductor.
1. A three-conductor cable comprising three intertwined electrical cables, each of said intertwined electrical cables comprising:
a conductor having a current lead formed of wire;
a neutral or return line formed by a number of component conductors that are distributed concentrically about the current lead;
a protective insulation disposed between the current lead and the component conductors of the neutral or return line;
a protective sheath surrounding the neutral or return line,
wherein the protective insulation is approximately 0.2 to 1.4 mm thick; and
a plurality of dummy conductors and a plurality of control conductors for control, monitoring, measurement and command purposes, wherein the dummy conductors and the control conductors are embedded in the neutral or return line, which is formed by the component conductors;
further comprising a fleece tape disposed over the neutral or return line, and the protective sheath disposed over the fleece tape.
2. The three-conductor cable as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protective sheath is formed of plastic.
3. The three-conductor cable as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the number of component conductors is eight.
4. The three-conductor cable as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the three intertwined electrical cables are encased by an outer sheath.
5. A high-frequency electrical cable for power transmission at a frequency of a least 50 MHz comprising a three-conductor cable having three intertwined electrical cables, each of said intertwined electrical cables comprising:
a conductor having a current lead formed of wire;
a neutral or return line formed by a number of component conductors that are distributed concentrically about the current lead;
a protective insulation layer disposed between the current lead and the distributed component conductors of the neutral or return line;
a protective sheath applied on the neutral or return line,
wherein the protective insulation layer surrounding the inner conductor is approximately 0.2 to 1.4 mm thick; and
a plurality of dummy conductors and a plurality of control conductors for control, monitoring, measurement and command purposes, wherein the dummy conductors and the control conductors are embedded in the neutral or return line, which is formed by the component conductors;
further comprising a fleece tape disposed over the neutral or return line, and the protective sheath disposed over the fleece tape.
