Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite cable comprises providing a number of electrical conductors which are each covered by insulation, providing a number of fibres for strength, coating the fibres with a liquid thermosetting or thermoplastic resin to form a fibre-resin matrix comprising a number of resin-coated fibres, combining the resin-coated fibres and the conductors to form the cable, and pulling the resultant cable through a curing station to cure the fibre-resin matrix. Before the curing station, the resin-coated fibres are passed through a pre-shaper stage where the fibres are arranged with an orientation parallel to each other and to the conductors and are guided through two guiding plates and at least one pre-shaper element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for manufacturing a composite cable, cables resulting from the manufacturing process and use of a composite cable in a well. According to the invention there are several elements to enhance a composite cable, where among a preheating process of conductors before joining them with a matrix, aligning the fibers in the matrix in parallel with each other and the conductors, adding exothermic starting agent to the liquid resin, forming the matrix.
