Patent number: 9048003Abstract: The current invention relates to self-supporting cables that often are aerial mounted between cable fixing points (800) and where the conductors in the cables act as the bearing elements. In this type of cables, slippage between the surfaces of different layers in the cable is undesirable. On the other hand, it must be possible to easily bend the cable, even for larger dimensions. Both these requirements are difficult to meet with the solutions from prior art. The present invention overcomes this by introducing an intermediate layer (130) between the surfaces (112, 121) comprising at least on tape (511) with friction particles (512) where the friction obtained by the friction particles (512) is low enough to allow the two surfaces (112, 121) to slip relatively each other in longitudinal direction enough so that the cable 100 can be bent but prevents the two surfaces (112, 121) from slipping in response to an inwardly directed radial pressure force (F) at the cable fixing points (800).Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2010Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: NKT CABLES GROUP A/SInventors: Ulf Fridtjof Johnsen, Lars Efraimsson

Patent number: 9010695Abstract: The present invention relates to problems how to keep cable arrangement functional, or at least make the damage as little as possible, after being exposed to different types of mechanical overloads. The problems are solved by methods and arrangements in which the securing means and the contact material of the securing means are arranged so that the cable can slide through the securing means when it is exposed to mechanical overloads.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2006Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: NKT Cables Group A/SInventors: Lars Efraimsson, Ulf Fridtjof Johnsen

Patent number: 8866015Abstract: A power cable comprises at least one insulated cable core having an electric conductor, a screen and an outer insulating sheath surrounding the core/cores, and an outer conducting material attached to the exterior of the outer sheath. The outer conducting material includes at least one band attached to the outer sheath extending along the full length of the cable and having a width (W) extending over only a part of an outer periphery of the cable. At least one groove extends along the cable outer sheath and the band/bands of conducting material are received in the groove/grooves, or at least one rib extends along the cable outer sheath and the band/bands of conducting material are attached to an outer surface of said rib/ribs; or at least one band of the outer conducting material is adhered to the outer sheath and requires a stripping force.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: NKT Cables Group A/SInventors: Lars Efraimsson, Ivar Lars Sune Hansson, Ulf Fridtjof Johnsen

Patent number: 8139383Abstract: The invention relates to distribution of electrical power, supervision and security. The invention comprises a power feeding station PFS for delivering electrical power. The PFS comprises a low voltage side LVS, a high voltage side HVS and a transformer TF which is configured to deliver high voltage single phase alternating current on the high voltage side, The power can be distributed, via a cable, to one or more power receiving stations PRS. The cable is configured to distribute current-symmetrical single phase current delivered by the power feeding station. The cable can preferable be a coaxial cable with the shield as current return path. The invention also comprises a current sensor unit CSU which is situated on the high voltage side. The means for measuring characteristics of the current CD can comprise a coil without galvanic contact with the high voltage side. A circuit break unit CBU suitable for breaking the current is situated on the low voltage side.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (PUBL)Inventors: Lars Efraimsson, Henric Magnusson, Ulf Fridtjof Johnsen
