Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electrical cables and in particular to heating cables having at least one insulated wire conductor - such as a resistance wire terminated with 'cold' wire ends - and at least one earthing conductor arranged within at least one common outer layer.
  • at least one insulated wire conductor - such as a resistance wire terminated with 'cold' wire ends - and at least one earthing conductor arranged within at least one common outer layer.
  • EP 0 098 253 describes a heating cable having at least two conductors extending longitudinally of each other in spaced relation. Each of the conductors has an insulating coating which completely covers the respective conductors except for apertures in the conductors which are spaced longitudinally thereof. The apertures are arranged alternately in the conductors which are surrounded by a continuous layer of relatively low and substantially temperature-independent resistivity. The plastic layer is in contact with the conductors through the apertures and an electrically insulation outer layer covers the plastic layer completely.
  • EP 0 609 771 describes an electrical heating cable where a resistance wire is covered with heat resistive polymer insulation and outer mechanically resistive layers.
  • EP 0 312 204 relates to a heater conduit having a hollow tube comprising a conductive polymeric material that exhibits PTC behaviour, and two electrodes positioned in electrical contact with the tube, preferably in a helical configuration.
  • the conduit can be heated by the passage of electrical current therethrough, and is preferably used to heat a fluid passing through the tube.
  • US 4,309,597 relates to a heating element for use in an electric blanket or the like including conductors spaced apart in a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) material which serves as a self-limiting heater.
  • the conductors are separated by a spacer which prevents the conductors from engaging each other when the PTC material softens or melts during annealing thereof.
  • a coating of material having a higher melting point than the PTC material is placed over the PTC material to maintain its shape during the annealing process.
  • a constant objective with heating cables is reduction of production cost and improvement of the product design.
  • the main features of the invention are defined in the claims.
  • the basic idea is to combine the metallic sheath/screen and outer sheath in one semi-conductive layer.
  • the semiconductive material should have a conductivity/resistivity corresponding to that of conventional shields, i e with a volume resistivity ⁇ 100 ohmcm at 20°C and ⁇ 1000 ohncm at 90°C taken together with an earthing conductor having a conductivity corresponding to at least 1 mm 2 Cu.
  • the material need not have any particular PTC or NTC properties. Advantages are cost reduction, process simplification, design improvement (thinner) and handling improvement (lighter).
  • All embodiments have at least one conventional wire conductor such as a resistance wire which is terminated with 'cold' leads i e copper wire installation ends. Each conductor is covered by a layer of insulation material.
  • Figures 1-7 illustrate crossections of single conductor cables, - whereas Figures 8 to 13 illustrate crossections of two-conductor cables.
  • the semiconductive, polymer material may as base polymer material consist of:
  • the insulation polymer material (compound) may as base polymer material consist of:
  • the outer, protective layer polymer material (compound) may as base polymer material consist of :
  • the layers may consist of one single layer or two or more layers based on the same polymer, or a combination of the different polymers.
  • the compounds not being flame retardant may be made flame retardant by either halogenated or by so called halogen-free additives/systems.
  • Different colours may be achieved by adding necessary amount of colour masterbatch to the compound in the extruder process. There may be one single colour or different colours, as two or several stripes longitudinally.
