  • Electrical cables having low resistance and methods of making same
    Patent number: 5994647
    Abstract: An electrically conductive cable includes a number of conductive strands which are twined to form a wire rope. The wire rope is drawn through a die to reduce its diameter until the outer surface of the conductor is smooth and the cross section of the conductor is substantially circular. According to a presently preferred embodiment, the electrically conductive cable is successively drawn through four dies of decreasing diameter so that the overall diameter of the wire rope is reduced by 30-40%. The resulting electrically conductive cable has the tensile strength advantage and the low resistance advantage of a solid conductor with the flexibility advantage of a wire rope cable. In addition, the smooth outer surface of the electrically conductive cable according to the invention is easily insulated with an extruded material.
