High voltage electrical power transmission cable having composite-composite wire with carbon or ceramic fiber reinforcement

摘要

A high power electrical transmission cable having composite wires (10), wherein the wires have aligned reinforcing fibers (12) of carbon or ceramic embedded within a matrix material (14). A jacket of an electrically conductive material surrounds the core wire (10). The reinforcing fibers and the matrix material may be also electrically conducting materials. The matrix material may be aluminum, copper, a polymer, or an epoxy material.
