A wire assembly (100) includes a plurality of strength members (105), a first coating layer (110) disposed on the strength members, and a conductive element (115) helically wound about the first coating layer. The conductive element has a length associated with a predetermined resistance. A second coating layer (120) is disposed on the conductive element, an the second coating layer is applied to the conductive clement and the first coating layer via pressure extrusion to eliminate air gaps between at least a portion of the first coating layer and the second coating layer. A method of forming the wire assembly includes coating the strength members with the first coating layer, helically winding the conductive element about the first coating layer, and applying the second coating layer to the conductive element and the first coating layer via pressure extrusion to eliminate air gaps between at least a portion of the first and second coating layers. |
