Abstract: An electric cable (10) includes at least one composite reinforcement element (1) including one or more reinforcement element(s) at least partially embedded in an organic matrix. A coating (2) surrounds the composite reinforcing element(s) (1). The coating (2) is sealed all around the composite reinforcing element(s) (1). At least one conducting element (3) surrounds the coating (2), where the thickness of the sealed coating (2) does not exceed 3000 ?m.

Abstract: The invention concerns an electric power transmission cable, particularly for an overhead power line, comprising at least one central composite ring (1) formed of fibers impregnated by a matrix, of which the specific breaking strength is greater than 0.4 MPa·m3/kg and at least one layer of conductive wires (3) nested within one another, made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy and windings around said ring (1), said cable having an outer diameter at ambient temperature called the initial diameter (Di) and the ratio between the thermal expansion coefficient of the conductive wires (3) and that of the central ring (1) is greater than three. According to the invention, said conductive wires (3) nested within one another are of a geometry such that the increase in the outer diameter of one length of said cable shorter than 45 m, during an increase of temperature lasting two to four minutes, from ambient temperature to a temperature between 150 and 240° C.
