ELECTRICAL CABLE WITH SELF-REPAIRING PROTECTION

摘要

A cable, in particular a cable for electric power transmission or distribution, having an inner layer comprising a self-repairing material with a predetermined cohesiveness and a controlled flowability, so as to re-establish, upon creation of a discontinuity in at least one of the cable coating layers, the continuity in the coating. The discontinuity in the coating can be caused by mechanical abuses of various types, for example accidental impact with cutting tools. Infiltration of moisture and generation of leakage currents, leading to a rapid corrosion of the conductor, are in this way avoided.
