20100243320 | COLLET-TYPE SPLICE AND DEAD END FOR USE WITH AN ALUMINUM CONDUCTOR COMPOSITE CORE REINFORCED CABLE - This invention relates to collet-type splices and collet-type dead ends and methods for splicing together two electricity transmission cables or terminating one electricity transmission cable, the cables comprising a composite core surrounded by a conductor. The collet-type fittings use a collet inside a collet housing to hold the composite cores without penetrating or otherwise weakening the core itself. The composite cores can be stripped of the aluminum conductor to provide a bond between the collet and the composite core. The collet seats within the collet housing thereby holding the composite core with frictional forces. The design of the collet enables the composite core to stretch longitudinally through the collet to strengthen the frictional hold. | 09-30-2010 |
20100181012 | METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A COMPOSITE CORE FOR AN ELECTRICAL CABLE - A method for the manufacture of a composite core for an electrical cable. The method may include pulling carbon fiber tows and glass fiber tows through a composite core processing system. The carbon fiber tows and the glass fiber tows are contacted with a resin, such as a thermosetting resin, to impregnate the fiber tows with the resin. The glass fiber tows are disposed on the outside of the carbon fiber tows to form a glass fiber layer around the carbon. The resin is then cured to form the composite core, which is adapted for use in an electrical transmission and distribution cable. | 07-22-2010 |
