Definitions
- This electrostatic shielding tape is a metal strip of low resistance and low reactance folded longitudinally over the length of an insulated power cable having a semi-conducting insulating layer surrounding its insulation.
- the longitudinally folded metallic tape permits expansion of the insulation and insulation shield, located directly under it, without significant deformation of the insulation and the insulation shield.
- the coating on the side adjacent to the insulation shield is preferably semi-conducting to accept charging current from the insulation. It is a feature that the metal of the electrostatic shield is in electrical communication with the insulation shield.
- the purpose of this invention is to provide a superior means of electrostatic shielding for power cables. It consists of an essentially full coverage longitudinally folded smooth or corrugated metallic tape which will permit expansion of the insulation and insulation shield, located directly under it, without significant deformation when the cable is at elevated temperatures corresponding to its normal, emergency and short circuit operating conditions.
- the tape may have a thin corrosion protective nonmetallic coating on one or both sides. This coating may be semi-conducting on one or both sides to permit the metallic shielding tape to accept charging current from the insulation structure while protecting certain metals, such as aluminum, against corrosion due to ingress of moisture into the cable.
- the application of the metallic shielding tape so that it is longitudinally folded along the length of the cable further provides a permanent low resistance, low reactance path for voltage and current surges due to lightning or switching and for fault current regardless of whether the metallic tape is plain or coated for protection against corrosion.
- Circumferential corrugations in the tape as employed on cables of larger diameter facilitate bending of the cable during manufacture, installation and in training of the cable for splicing and terminating.
- the shielding tape will take the form of a longitudinally folded and overlapped corrugated copper or aluminum shielding tape.
- the aluminum will have a firmly bonded semi-conducting layer of a polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride based compound on the side of the tape facing the semi-conducting insulation shield.
- the other side of the tape may have the same coating or an in sulating coating of the same type compound and perhaps treated or with a supplementary coating to facilitate bonding to the overall jacket.
- a longitudinally applied bridging tape over the exposed edge of the metallic tape with or without a binder thread may be employed to prevent the edge of the metallic tape from cutting into the jacket.
- the longitudinally folded tape shield may be applied in the same operation as the overall jacket or in a separate operation.
- This invention may be employed in single conductor cable which may be shipped as such or factory-cabled into an assembly of two or more single conductor cables, or in multiple conductor cable with an overall covering.
- This method of shielding is superior to that which is presently commonly used whereby a metallic tape, normally plain or tinned copper, is helically applied overlapped on itself, by approximately to 25 percent of its width, over the insulation structure (including semi-conducting insulation shield) of the cable.
- a metallic tape normally plain or tinned copper
- This type of presently used shield uneven expansion of the insulation structure of the cable occurs at elevated temperatures under normal and particularly under emergency and short circuit operating conditions, due to the reinforcing action of the double thickness of tape at the overlaps.
- the insulation and insulation shield are significantly deformed such that they take on the surface contour of an interlocked or BX armored cable. This severe deformation may adversely affect the electrical properties and physical integrity of the insulation and may seriously increase the resistivity of the insulation shield, leading to premature failure of the cable.
- both of the adverse conditions described above are corrected by this invention in which the tape is longitudinally folded rather than helically applied.
- longitudinally folding the tape around the cable provides a permanently lower resistance and reactance shield path for the same amount of metal as when the tape is helically applied and the cable is subjected to aging and load cycling in service.
- a very important advantage is that longitudinally folding the metallic shielding tape permits the use of a corrosion-protected lowcost aluminum tape which, by virtue of a firmly bonded semiconducting layer, will permit the aluminum shield to accept charging currents from the insulation structure of the cable.

- This invention is used for power cables, an example of which is shown in FIG. 1.
- the cable illustrated has a center metallic conductor 12 surrounded with a semi-conducting shield 14, over which there is a layer of insulation 16 of substantial thickness, depending upon the size of the cable and the voltage with which it is intended to be used.
- Insulation shielding l8 surrounds the insulation 16 and is a semi-conducting layer.
- the shielding which occupies the position of the metal tape 20 is a helically wrapped tape with each convolution overlapping the next convolution by a predetermined amount.
- Such constructions have the objection that the shielding is of greater hoop strength where the convolutions overlap than at the locations where there is no overlap; and when the insulation and insulation shielding expand as the result of heating during operation of the cable, the insulation and its shielding will be more restrained at the overlap sections of the surrounding tape and the expansion causes the insulation and its shielding to assume a variable diameter, analogous to the surface of a BX cable, as previously explained.
- FIG. 3 shows the tape 20 with a small scale so that no attempt is made to illustrate protective coating on this tape for preventing corrosion. It is desirable to use aluminum as the metal for the tape 20 and since aluminum requires corrosionprotective coating, plastic coatings 23 and 24 are provided on the outside and inside, respectively, of an aluminum strip 26. (FIG. 5).
- the aluminum strip 26 preferably has a thickness of between 5 and mils and-the corrosion-protective coatings 23 and 24 have a thickness of between I and 3 mils. All of the coatings 23 and 24 may be semi-conducting; but in order to maintain electrical communication between the aluminum strip 26 and the insulation shielding which is covered by the tape 20, it is necessary that at least the coating 24 be semiconducting if the entire coating is not made of semi-conducting material.
- the coatings 23 and 24 are preferably polyethylene and at least the portion of these coatings 23 and 24, which contact with the metal, is a copolymer with reactive carboxyl groups for obtaining a chemical bond between the coatings 23 and 24 and the aluminum strip 26.
- Other protective coatings can be used on the aluminum strip 26; for example: the polyethylene may be cross-linked, or the coating may be made of polyvinyl chloride, ethylene propylene rubber, or other polyolefinbased material or other thin, nonmetallic layers for increasing resistance to corrosion.
- electrical conducting material such as carbon black is mixed with the plastic, in accordance with conventional practice in the cable industry.
- the tape can be made of material other than aluminum, for example: copper, brass, bronze, steel, stainless steel, zinc, or ferrous or nonferrous metals, the metal being nonmagnetic in the case of single conductor cables.
- the width of the tape 20 is greater than the circumference of the insulation shielding 18 so that there are edge portions 32 and 34 overlapping one another but not welded or otherwise bonded to one another. As the insulation 16 and insulation shielding 18 expand with heating of the cable, the edge portions 32 and 34 are free to slide on one another to increase the diameter and circumference of the electrostatic shield formed by the tape 20.
- FIG. 3 shows a modified construction in which the electrostatic shield is formed by a tape 20a folded longitudinally over the insulation shielding l8 and similar to the electrostatic shield, corresponding parts in FIG. 3 being designated by the same reference characters as in FIG. 2 but with a letter 0" appended.
- the tape 20a is of less width with respect to the circumference of the insulation shielding 18 so that edge portions 320 and 34a do not overlap one another. They may touch each other along a butt seam or there may be an open gap 36 between the edges 32a and 34a. The width of this gap changes with change in temperature but the gap is always narrow, so that the shield formed by the tape 20a extends around substantially the entire circumference of the insulation shielding 18.
- the tape 20a if made of aluminum, can be of the same construction as described in connection with FIG. 5.
- FIG. 4 shows another modification in which the electrostatic shield is formed by a tape 20b, similar to the tape 20 of FIG. 2, and with corresponding parts designated by the same reference characters but with the letter b" appended.
- This tape 20b has edges portions 32b and 34b which overlap one another and in order to protect the jacket 22 from being cut or damaged by the outer edge 32b, particularly when the tape 20b has a sharp corner, a bridging tape 38 of plastic material is applied over the seam of the tape 20b so as to cover the comer of the outer edge portion 32b.
- edge portions 32b and 3411 are preferably free to slide over one another, and the bridging tape 38 can be bonded to either the edge portion 32b or the edge portion 34b, or can be bonded to both where there is sufficient resilience in the material of the bridging tape 38 to permit expansion of the electrostatic shield with changes in temperature of the insulation shielding and insulation directly under the electrostatic shield.
- the jacket 22 may be made of polyethylene, low, medium or high-density, or copolymers thereof, cross-linked polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, neoprene, chlorosulphonated polyethylene, chlorinated polyethylene, ethylene propylene rubber, or other materials for providing resistance to mechanical damage.
- FIG. 6 shows a construction in which an electrostatic shield is formed by a tape 20c which has corrosion-protective coating 23c over its outer surface and corrosion-protective coating 240 over most of its inner surface. Neither of the coatings 230 or 240 is semi-conducting.

Primary Examiner-Lewis l-I. Myers Assistant Examiner--A. T. Grimley Attorney-Sandoe, Hopgood & Calimafde ABSTRACT This electrostatic shielding tape is a metal strip of low resistance and low reactance folded longitudinally over the length of an insulated power cable having a semi-conducting insulating layer surrounding its insulation. The longitudinally folded metallic tape permits expansion of the insulation and insulation shield, located directly under it, without significant deformation of the insulation and the insulation shield. When the tape is of a metal requiring a thin corrosion-protective coating, the coating on the side adjacent to the insulation shield is preferably semi-conducting to accept charging current from the insulation. It is a feature that the metal of the electrostatic shield is in electrical communication with the insulation shield.
12 Claims, 1 1 Drawing Figures POWER CABLE WITH CORRUGATED OR SMOOTH LONGITUDINALLY FOLDED METALLIC Sl-IIELDING TAPE BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of this invention is to provide a superior means of electrostatic shielding for power cables. It consists of an essentially full coverage longitudinally folded smooth or corrugated metallic tape which will permit expansion of the insulation and insulation shield, located directly under it, without significant deformation when the cable is at elevated temperatures corresponding to its normal, emergency and short circuit operating conditions. The tape may have a thin corrosion protective nonmetallic coating on one or both sides. This coating may be semi-conducting on one or both sides to permit the metallic shielding tape to accept charging current from the insulation structure while protecting certain metals, such as aluminum, against corrosion due to ingress of moisture into the cable.
The application of the metallic shielding tape so that it is longitudinally folded along the length of the cable further provides a permanent low resistance, low reactance path for voltage and current surges due to lightning or switching and for fault current regardless of whether the metallic tape is plain or coated for protection against corrosion. Circumferential corrugations in the tape as employed on cables of larger diameter facilitate bending of the cable during manufacture, installation and in training of the cable for splicing and terminating.
In the majority of cases the shielding tape will take the form of a longitudinally folded and overlapped corrugated copper or aluminum shielding tape. In the latter case the aluminum will have a firmly bonded semi-conducting layer of a polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride based compound on the side of the tape facing the semi-conducting insulation shield.
The other side of the tape may have the same coating or an in sulating coating of the same type compound and perhaps treated or with a supplementary coating to facilitate bonding to the overall jacket. In the case of the copper shielding tape, a longitudinally applied bridging tape over the exposed edge of the metallic tape with or without a binder thread may be employed to prevent the edge of the metallic tape from cutting into the jacket. The longitudinally folded tape shield may be applied in the same operation as the overall jacket or in a separate operation.
This invention may be employed in single conductor cable which may be shipped as such or factory-cabled into an assembly of two or more single conductor cables, or in multiple conductor cable with an overall covering.
This method of shielding is superior to that which is presently commonly used whereby a metallic tape, normally plain or tinned copper, is helically applied overlapped on itself, by approximately to 25 percent of its width, over the insulation structure (including semi-conducting insulation shield) of the cable. With this type of presently used shield, uneven expansion of the insulation structure of the cable occurs at elevated temperatures under normal and particularly under emergency and short circuit operating conditions, due to the reinforcing action of the double thickness of tape at the overlaps. As a consequence thereof, at elevated temperatures the insulation and insulation shield are significantly deformed such that they take on the surface contour of an interlocked or BX armored cable. This severe deformation may adversely affect the electrical properties and physical integrity of the insulation and may seriously increase the resistivity of the insulation shield, leading to premature failure of the cable.
With this presently used method of metallic tape shield application, it is not practical to make use of low-cost aluminum metal. Uncoated aluminum is not acceptable for the purpose because it is highly susceptible to corrosion on ingress of moisture into the cable. The application of a thin layer of semi-conducting or insulating material to one or both sides of the aluminum tape to protect it against corrosion will result in a very high resistance, high reactance path when the tape is helically applied on the cable forming a short lay helical path for voltage surges and fault currents.
Both of the adverse conditions described above are corrected by this invention in which the tape is longitudinally folded rather than helically applied. In addition, longitudinally folding the tape around the cable provides a permanently lower resistance and reactance shield path for the same amount of metal as when the tape is helically applied and the cable is subjected to aging and load cycling in service. A very important advantage is that longitudinally folding the metallic shielding tape permits the use of a corrosion-protected lowcost aluminum tape which, by virtue of a firmly bonded semiconducting layer, will permit the aluminum shield to accept charging currents from the insulation structure of the cable.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will appear or be pointed out as the description proceeds.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT This invention is used for power cables, an example of which is shown in FIG. 1. The cable illustrated has a center metallic conductor 12 surrounded with a semi-conducting shield 14, over which there is a layer of insulation 16 of substantial thickness, depending upon the size of the cable and the voltage with which it is intended to be used. Insulation shielding l8 surrounds the insulation 16 and is a semi-conducting layer.
Around the outside of the insulation shielding 18 there is a longitudinally folded metal tape 20, shown in the drawing as helically corrugated; and there is a jacket 22 around the outside of the metal tape 20 for protecting it from mechanical damage. The construction thus far described has been used on power cables.
In the more conventional power cable constructions, the shielding which occupies the position of the metal tape 20 is a helically wrapped tape with each convolution overlapping the next convolution by a predetermined amount. Such constructions have the objection that the shielding is of greater hoop strength where the convolutions overlap than at the locations where there is no overlap; and when the insulation and insulation shielding expand as the result of heating during operation of the cable, the insulation and its shielding will be more restrained at the overlap sections of the surrounding tape and the expansion causes the insulation and its shielding to assume a variable diameter, analogous to the surface of a BX cable, as previously explained.
Longitudinally folded tapes have been used at the location of the tape 20. One feature of this invention is a construction of the tape 20 which maintains it in electrical communication with the semi-conducting insulation shielding. The construction of the tape 20 is shown more fully in FIGS. 2 and 5.
FIG. 3 shows the tape 20 with a small scale so that no attempt is made to illustrate protective coating on this tape for preventing corrosion. It is desirable to use aluminum as the metal for the tape 20 and since aluminum requires corrosionprotective coating, plastic coatings 23 and 24 are provided on the outside and inside, respectively, of an aluminum strip 26. (FIG. 5).
The aluminum strip 26 preferably has a thickness of between 5 and mils and-the corrosion-protective coatings 23 and 24 have a thickness of between I and 3 mils. All of the coatings 23 and 24 may be semi-conducting; but in order to maintain electrical communication between the aluminum strip 26 and the insulation shielding which is covered by the tape 20, it is necessary that at least the coating 24 be semiconducting if the entire coating is not made of semi-conducting material.
The coatings 23 and 24 are preferably polyethylene and at least the portion of these coatings 23 and 24, which contact with the metal, is a copolymer with reactive carboxyl groups for obtaining a chemical bond between the coatings 23 and 24 and the aluminum strip 26. Other protective coatings can be used on the aluminum strip 26; for example: the polyethylene may be cross-linked, or the coating may be made of polyvinyl chloride, ethylene propylene rubber, or other polyolefinbased material or other thin, nonmetallic layers for increasing resistance to corrosion. In order to obtain a semi-conducting plastic for the coating 24, electrical conducting material such as carbon black is mixed with the plastic, in accordance with conventional practice in the cable industry.
The tape can be made of material other than aluminum, for example: copper, brass, bronze, steel, stainless steel, zinc, or ferrous or nonferrous metals, the metal being nonmagnetic in the case of single conductor cables.
The width of the tape 20 is greater than the circumference of the insulation shielding 18 so that there are edge portions 32 and 34 overlapping one another but not welded or otherwise bonded to one another. As the insulation 16 and insulation shielding 18 expand with heating of the cable, the edge portions 32 and 34 are free to slide on one another to increase the diameter and circumference of the electrostatic shield formed by the tape 20.
FIG. 3 shows a modified construction in which the electrostatic shield is formed by a tape 20a folded longitudinally over the insulation shielding l8 and similar to the electrostatic shield, corresponding parts in FIG. 3 being designated by the same reference characters as in FIG. 2 but with a letter 0" appended.
The tape 20a is of less width with respect to the circumference of the insulation shielding 18 so that edge portions 320 and 34a do not overlap one another. They may touch each other along a butt seam or there may be an open gap 36 between the edges 32a and 34a. The width of this gap changes with change in temperature but the gap is always narrow, so that the shield formed by the tape 20a extends around substantially the entire circumference of the insulation shielding 18. The tape 20a, if made of aluminum, can be of the same construction as described in connection with FIG. 5.
FIG. 4 shows another modification in which the electrostatic shield is formed by a tape 20b, similar to the tape 20 of FIG. 2, and with corresponding parts designated by the same reference characters but with the letter b" appended. This tape 20b has edges portions 32b and 34b which overlap one another and in order to protect the jacket 22 from being cut or damaged by the outer edge 32b, particularly when the tape 20b has a sharp corner, a bridging tape 38 of plastic material is applied over the seam of the tape 20b so as to cover the comer of the outer edge portion 32b. The edge portions 32b and 3411 are preferably free to slide over one another, and the bridging tape 38 can be bonded to either the edge portion 32b or the edge portion 34b, or can be bonded to both where there is sufficient resilience in the material of the bridging tape 38 to permit expansion of the electrostatic shield with changes in temperature of the insulation shielding and insulation directly under the electrostatic shield.
The jacket 22 may be made of polyethylene, low, medium or high-density, or copolymers thereof, cross-linked polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, neoprene, chlorosulphonated polyethylene, chlorinated polyethylene, ethylene propylene rubber, or other materials for providing resistance to mechanical damage.
FIG. 6 shows a construction in which an electrostatic shield is formed by a tape 20c which has corrosion-protective coating 23c over its outer surface and corrosion-protective coating 240 over most of its inner surface. Neither of the coatings 230 or 240 is semi-conducting. In order to establish electrical communication between a metal strip 260 of the tape 20c, the tape 20c has embossed areas 42 projecting toward the insulation shielding 18, and the coating 24c is removed from the surface of the tape 20c over these embossed areas 42. This results in a direct contact between the metal strip 260 and the semi-conducting insulation shielding 18 so as to establish the electrical communication between the metal of the electrostatic shield and the semiconducting material of the insulation shielding. This construction shown in FIG. 6 can be used in place of the other tapes having continuous coating, as shown in FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 shows three single conductor cables which can be twisted together; and in this construction each of the conductors has its own electrostatic shield, as shown in FIG. 1; or the electrostatic shield can be any of the modified constructions shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 6. It will be understood that the electrostatic shield can be either corrugated or non-corrugated, depending upon the size of the cable and the degree of flexibility desired.
FIG. 8 shows a cable with three conductors, each with a conductor shield, insulation and an insulation shielding, as in FIG. 1, the parts being designated by the same reference characters as in FIGS. 1 and 2. The construction in FIG. 8 differs, however, from that in FIG. 7 in that the individual conductors 12 do not have separate electrostatic shields around their insulation, and insulation shieldings. The cable of FIG. 8 has conventional filler material 46 for giving the construction circular cross section; and there is a single electrostatic shield formed by a tape 20 surrounding the group of insulated conductors 12. I
This electrostatic shield formed by the tape 20' is shown as corrugated and the inner humps of the corrugation contact with the insulation shieldings 18 of the individual conductors 12. Although the area of contact of the tape 20' with the semiconducting insulation shieldings 18 of the conductors 12 is of restricted area, it does establish electrical communication between the tape 20 and the insulation shieldings 18 of the conductors 12 of the cable shown in FIG. 8.
FIG. 9 is an isometric view of the longitudinally folded tape 20 of FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 10 shows a similar tape 20 which may be similar in all respects to that shown in FIG. 9 except that it is uncorrugated.
FIG. 11 shows a modified construction for increasing the area of electrical communication between the metal strip 26 of the electrostatic shield and the semi-conducting layer of the insulation shielding 18. Although most of the downwardly extending humps 52 of the corrugated tape 20 touch the semiconducting material of the insulation shielding 18, the area of contact for transfer of current between the tape 20 and the insulation shielding 18 is increased in FIG. 11 by providing a semi-conducting compound 54, which fills the space between the insulation shielding l8 and the upwardly projecting humps of the tape 20. This compound 54 also serves the useful function of preventing passage of moist air or water longitudinally in the cable between the tape 20 and the semi-conducting insulation shielding 18.
The preferred construction of the invention and some modifications have been illustrated and described, and the invention is defined in the appended claims.
