<p>An umbilical assembly for supplying power to subsea equipment includes an electrical conductor to convey an electrical current to the subsea equipment. An insulator surrounds the conductor. A support member is positioned between the insulator and the conductor. The support member has either non-magnetic properties or low-magnetic properties because of its material composition. The support member is adapted to connect to a structure at the surface of the sea. The support member supports the weight of the conductor. The supporting of the weight of the conductor by the support member can be to reduce creep typically associated with the conductor supporting its own weight. The support member can be used to hermetically seal the conductor and prevent hydrogen migration along the conductor.</p> |
