Lightweight Electric Power Cable.

Abstract

A TPE (Elexar 8614Z) material was selected from several candidates for evaluation in completed cable form. A second cable with higher heat resistance capability, using silicone insulation, was also evaluated. The objective was to produce a finished cable with a weight savings of 15% or better, with no loss of significant properties from the standard cable specified by Drawing 13222E8995. A weight savings of 21% was achieved conforming to the required specification. The jacket material utilized was polyurethane, producing a thinner layered construction over the standard cable. The performance of this, as a sheath material, was excellent when tested to the requirements of MIL-C-13777G. (Author)
