Abstract: A vibration resistant overhead electrical cable is provided, such as a high-voltage transmission line, which has an insulated conductor, the insulation of which has an axially continuously rotating oval or elliptical outer periphery such that the aerodynamic forces acting on the cable act in a continuously changing direction, thereby reducing the tendency of the cable to vibrate. The ratio of the major to minor axis of the oval or elliptical shape is preferably between 1.1 and 1.2 and the length between axial rotations along the longitudinal axis of the cable is usually between about 2.5 and 3.5 meters.
