A power cable to be provided inside a steel pipe that is electrically connected to a reference potential node, includes 3 transmission cables, 3 ground buses making contact with outer peripheral surfaces of adjacent transmission cables and arranged at 3-fold rotationally symmetrical positions with respect to a center of the transmission cables in a cross sectional view, a binder covering the ground buses and the transmission cables, and a jacket provided to overlap the binder. The transmission cables have outer diameters to inscribe a first circle having a radius corresponding to a radius of a second, envelope circle of the power cable having a maximum radius inside the steel pipe, but excluding thicknesses of the binder and the jacket. The ground buses have outer diameters to project outwardly of an envelope closed curve of the transmission cables, but less than or equal to a diameter of the first circle.

A cable includes a first shield portion that includes at least one or more lines for transmitting a signal or electric power and that is provided on the outer side of the lines, a first layer that is provided in such a manner as to cover an outer circumference of the first shield portion and that includes a member that absorbs radio waves, a second shield portion that is provided on an outer side of the first layer, a second layer that is provided in such a manner as to cover an outer circumference of the second shield portion and that includes a member that absorbs radio waves, and insulating resin that covers an outer side of the second layer.

A low loss cable system adapted for use as a cable landfall system. The cable system comprises a cable having a plurality of cores. Each core comprises a conductor, a first insulating layer, a second electrically conductive layer and a third layer. The cable comprises two sections, connected at a connection point CP. A first section of the cable is arranged to be exposed to a landfall area and a second section of the cable is arranged to be exposed to a submarine area. The cable is arranged such that circulating currents are prevented or reduced in the second conductive layers of the cable in the section exposed to the landfall area, thus assisting in maintaining the ampacity of the cable in this section without, or by reducing, the need to increase the cross sectional area of the cable in the landfall area. This is accomplished by electrically connecting the second conductive layers of the cores to each other at the connection point. At a distal end of the first section of the cable, the second layers are arranged to leave an open ended termination, thus avoiding a closed circuit that would otherwise create circulating currents in the second layers of the first section, thus maintaining ampacity.

Submarine electrical cable system (100) having a substantially circular cross-section and comprising: a first insulated core (1) and a second insulated core (2); a three-phase cable (3) comprising three stranded insulated cores (8) the three-phase cable (3) being stranded with the first core (1) and the second core (2); an armour (4) surrounding the first core (1), the second core (2) and the three-phase cable (3).

A steel wire as an armoring wire for a power cable for transmitting electrical power, where the steel wire has a steel core and a non-magnetic coating. The coating has a thickness in the range of 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm and selected from metals or alloys having a melting point below 700 C.

A connection conductor electrically connects a sensor, the output side of which provides measurement signals, to an intelligent electronic device which is set up to process the measurement signals. The connection conductor has conductor phases arranged insulated from one another, a sensor end on which is formed a conductor input for electrically connecting to an output of the sensor, and an evaluation-unit end which has a conductor output for electrically connecting to an input of the evaluation unit. The two conductor phases extend from the conductor input to the conductor output and are set up to transmit the measurement signals between the output of the sensor and the input of the evaluation unit. In the connection conductor measurement errors due to high-frequency interference are avoided, and the connection conductor is adapted to a frequency range in which the interference occurs.
