ABSTRACT:
An electric cable for shielding the conductor therein from tensile stresses during bending of the conductor in a predetermined lateral direction. An elongated duct having a pair of opposed sidewalls and a floor therebetween holds the conductive element, while an elongated lid of relatively substantial thickness is mounted in the opening to the duct between the free ends of the sidewalls. The lid fills the duct from the opening between the free ends of the sidewalls to the neutral surface produced by lateral bending of the cable in the direction of the floor of the duct. Bonding material secures the lid and duct in a fixed longitudinal relationship, and a suitable flowable filler encases the conductor in the resulting tubular housing. The cable disclosed has particular application to the preservation of the integrity of superconductor materials used as the conductor in the cable. Preferably, the duct and lid are made of soft and hard copper, respectively.
