Method of manufacturing power cables and related power cable

摘要

A method (200) for manufacturing an electrical cable (100) is provided. The method comprises providing at least one core (105) comprising an electrical conductor (110), and arranging at least one copper sheath (120) around the at least one core (105). Said arranging the copper sheath (120) comprises providing (202) at least one foil of copper (300) having two opposite first edges (310); bending (204; 206) the foil of copper (300) around the core (105) until the first edges (310) of the foil of copper (300) are contacted to each other; welding (206) the first edges (310) of the foil of copper (300) to each other to form a corresponding solder jointwelded joint (320); deposing (208) a copper coating (354) on at least portions of the surface of the foil of copper (300) at the welded joint (320). Said deposing (208) the copper coating (354) is carried out by means of a thermal spray process.
