Description
ELECTRICAL WIRE
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates generally to an electrical wire. The
invention also relates to an electrical cable.
Background
[0002] Electrical wires come in many different forms. Typically it is the intendeduse of the wire that determines the design of an electrical wire. Some wires aredesigned for power distribution others are designed for transmission of
telecommunications signals and other signals or for other purposes.
[0003] Electrical wires are manufactured from a number of different materialssuch as Copper, Aluminum, Steel, and Nickel. Electrical wires are usually coveredwith insulating materials, such as plastic, rubber-like polymers, or varnish. Furtherwires can form cables. Typically, two or more wires can be joined to form a cable.Also, two or more wires may be wrapped concentrically, separated by insulation,
to form a coaxial cable.
[0004] Regardless of the type of wire or cable it is typically desired that theelectromagnetic field generated by the wire or cable is low. For this purpose, thewire or cable can be shielded from the surroundings by one or many layers ofelectromagnetic shielding components. The cable can then, for example, beencased for its entire length in foil or wire mesh. All wires running inside thisshielding layer will be to a large extent decoupled from external electric fields,particularly if the shield is connected to a point of constant voltage, such as earth.
[0005] There is a constant desire to improve the performance of transmission ofelectrical power an electrical signals. ln particular it is desired to reduce theelectromagnetic field from a wire or a cable. Hence, there exists a need for animproved electrical wire and electrical cable.
Summary of invention[0006] lt is an object of the present invention to provide an improved electrical
wire and an improved electrical cable.
[0007] This object and/or others are met by the devices as set out in the
appended claims.
[0008] As has been realized by the inventor it would be good if wires/cableswere to emit reduced electromagnetic fields. This would reduce the need forelectromagnetic shielding or completely remove the need for shielding and alsoreduce the electromagnetic interference between different electrical wires/cables.Other potential benefits also exist.
[0009] By combining the physical properties of Copper and Aluminum a wiregenerating significantly reduced electro-magnetic field can be provided. This isobtained by surrounding an Aluminum wire with a Copper wire/Copper wires in
direct contact with the Aluminum wire.
[0010] ln accordance with one embodiment an electrical wire is provided. Theelectrical wire is formed by a central wire made from Aluminum. The central wire is
surrounded by at least one wire of Copper in direct contact with the central wire.
[0011] ln accordance with some embodiments the central wire is made from one
solid wire of Aluminum.
[0012] ln accordance with some embodiments the central wire is made from
multiple wires of Aluminum, such as a stranded Aluminum wire.
[0013] ln accordance with some embodiments, multiple Copper wires are twistedaround the central wire. The multiple Copper wires can be twisted in two or morelayers around the central wire. The central Aluminum wire and the surroundingCopper wires can in accordance with one embodiment form a stranded Copper
Wire with a central wire of Aluminum.
The disclosure also extends to an electrical cable comprising one or more of theelectrical wires set out above. Using the wires/cables as described herein willprovide electrical wires/cables that emit significantly lower electromagnetic fieldsthan wires/cables that are conventionally used to day.

Around the central wire core of Aluminum one or moreCopper (Cu) wires 12 are provided. The Copper wire(s) can typically be twistedaround the central Aluminum wire. The Al wire 11 and the Cu wire(s) 12 are indirect contact with each other. ln accordance with some embodiments both theAluminum wire 11 and the Copper wire(s) 12 are naked wires without anyinsulation. ln the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 the Al wire 11 has a cross sectionarea of about 0,35 mm2 and the Cu wires 12 have a cross section area of about
4
0,20 mmz". ln accordance with some embodiments the core wire 11 of Aluminum isa solid wire having a larger cross sectional area than the individual surroundingwires 12 of Copper. The electrical wire 1 can be seen as a stranded Copper wire
having a central wire made from Aluminum in the middle.
[0020] The number of Cu wires 12 can be any suitable number and the Cu wires12 may be provided in one or more layers around the central core wire 11 ofAluminum. ln the example shown in Fig. 1, 21 individual Copper wires 12 aretwinned around an Aluminum core 11. The Copper wires are arranged in twodifferent layers with 8 wires in an inner layer and 13 wires in an outer layer. Thenumber of Copper wires used and in how many layers the Copper wires arearranged is a design matter and can be determined based on the application forwhich the wire is to be used.
[0021] ln Fig. 2 a cross-sectional view of a wire 1' in accordance with a secondembodiment is shown. The embodiment in Fig. 2 differs from the embodimentshown in Fig. 1 in that the central wire 11' is formed by more than one Aluminumwire 11'. Around the central wire 11' of Aluminum one or more Copper (Cu) wires12' are twisted. The Al wires 11' and the Cu wire(s) 12' are in direct contact witheach other. ln accordance with some embodiments both the Aluminum wires 11'and the Copper wire(s) 12' are naked wires without any insulation. ln theembodiment shown in Fig. 2, the Al wires 11' have a cross section area of about0,20 mm2 each and the Cu wires 12' each have a cross section area of about 0,20mmz". ln accordance with some embodiments the core wires 11' of Aluminum is astranded wire with individual wires having about the same cross sectional area asthe surrounding wires 12' of Copper. The electrical wire 1' can be seen as astranded Copper wire having a central wire formed as a stranded Aluminum wirein the middle.
[0022] The number of Cu wires 12' can be any suitable number and the Cuwires 12' may be provided in one or more layers around the core wire 11' ofAluminum. ln the example shown in Fig. 2, 21 individual Copper wires 12' are
twinned around an Aluminum core wires 11'. The Copper wires 11' are arranged in
two different layers with 8 wires in an inner layer and 13 wires in an outer layer.The number of Copper wires used and in how many layers the Copper wires arearranged is a design matter and can be determined based on the application forwhich the wire is to be used.
[0023] ln Fig. 3 a cross-sectional view of an electrical cable 20 comprisingelectrical wires 1 in accordance with the above is shown. ln general the electricalwires 1 in Fig. 3 are wires with a core of Aluminum surrounded be Copperwire/wires in direct contact with each other. ln the exemplary embodiment of Fig. 3wires 1 in accordance with the first embodiment described in conjunction with Fig.1 having a solid central wire of Aluminum are used. However, cables can also beformed using the wire 1' in accordance with the second embodiment described inconjunction with Fig. 2 having multiple central wires of Aluminum. ln someembodiments a combination of different electrical wires of the type describedherein can be used in the electrical cable when two or more electrical wires are
provided in the one and same cable 20.
[0024] ln Fig. 3 a cable 20 having two electrical wires 1 is shown. Cables havingother number of electrical wires 1 can also be formed. ln the exemplaryembodiment in Fig. 3, the two electrical wires 1 can be a phase wire and a neutralwire of the cable 20. The cable 20 thus comprises two electrical wires 1. Each ofthe wires 1 is formed by a central wire of Aluminum surrounded by twisted Copperwires in direct contact with the central Aluminum wire. The central Aluminum wires1 can be a solid wire as shown in Fig. 3 or the central Aluminum wire can beformed by multiple Aluminum wires. For example the central Aluminum wire canbe a stranded Aluminum wire. The surrounding Copper wires in direct contact withthe central Aluminum wire can be twisted around the central Aluminum wire. lnsome embodiments one or more of the electrical wires 1 is a stranded Copper wirehaving a central wire made from Aluminum. The central Aluminum wire can then
for example be a solid Aluminum wire or a stranded Aluminum wire.
[0025] ln the exemplary embodiment depicted in Fig. 3, each of the electricalwires 1 is provided with a jacket 2 of insulation. The jacket 2 can be of any suitable
material such as a polymer based material for example TPS 130. The jacket 3 canbe of any type used in existing cables. Further a filling material 3 can be providedin the cable 20. The filling material can be of any suitable type. ln someembodiments the filling material is also ofa polymer based material. The fillingmaterial 3 can be of any type used in existing cables. Around the insulated wiresand the filling material a binder 4 can be provided. Outside the binder 4 an outercoating 5 can be provided. The cable 20 described in Fig. 3 has two electricalwires. lt is however of course possible to design a cable with fewer or more wiresdepending on the application of the cable. Also the dimensions of the wires candiffer in different cables depending on the intended field of use for the cable. Thecable can for example be designed with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 electrical wires. Also theelectrical wires 1 in a cable 20 with 2 or more electrical wires 1 can be twistedaround each other. lt is further possible to design the cable in accordance with anyexisting designs where the wires are formed as set out herein with Copper
wire/wires surrounding an Aluminum wire in direct contact with the Aluminum wire.
[0026] Because the wire/cable as described herein emits a very smallelectromagnetic field, a cable can be formed without a shielding coating. Hence, insome embodiments no shielding layer is provided around the cable as described
herein.
[0027] The wires/cables as described herein can be used in many fields. Forexample as alarm cables, signal cables, and cables for data communication. Thecables can also be used as power supply cables in conventional power distributionsystems up to 1000 V. Another field of application is a power distribution cable in
the mid-voltage range from about 1 kV to 3 kV.
