High temperature electrical cable

Abstract

Abstract A high temperature electrical cable comprising generally three parts is disclosed, namely a central conductor, a covering of insulating material applied over the central conductor and an outer protective sleeving applied over the covering of insulating material. The central conductor is made of stranded or solid metal capable of essentially maintaining its useful service at high temperature. The covering of insulating material consists of at least one inner layer of inorganic high temperature material providing essentially complete coverage of the conductor and a smooth base for the subsequent layers, at least two layers of primary dielectric material consisting of mica tapes made from reconstituted mica sheets impregnated with carborane siloxane polymers, and an outer layer of inorganic high temperature material over the mica tapes such as to provide essentially complete coverage of the primary dielectric layers. The outer protective sleeving is achieved either by knitting or braiding one or more fine high temperature resistant wires onto the covering of insulating material.
