METHOD TO STRAIGHTEN CROSS LINKED POLYETHYLENE HIGH VOLTAGE POWER CABLE

摘要

A method for forming cable which is insulated with a rigid insulating layer into a desired shape, comprising the steps of wrapping the a portion of the cable with a heater tape that houses heater elements, causing the elements to become hot and heat the cable portion so that its insulating layer is heated and loses its molecular memory of its prior configuration, and reconfiguring the cable portion into the desired shape.
