Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing an electrical cable comprising: (a) providing at least one insulated conductor; (b) extruding a first polymeric material layer over the insulated conductor; (c) serving a first layer of armor wires around the polymeric material and embedding the first layer of armor wires in the first polymeric material by exposure to an electromagnetic radiation source; (d) extruding a second polymeric material layer over the first layer of armor wires embedded in the first polymeric material layer, wherein the first polymeric material layer is exposed to a second electromagnetic radiation source before extruding the second polymeric material layer over the first layer of armor wires, and wherein the first polymeric layer and second polymeric layer are bonded; and, (e) exposing the second polymeric material layer to a third electromagnetic radiation source and serving a second layer of armor wires over the second polymeric material layer, and then extruding a third polymeric material layer over the second layer of armor wires, wherein the polymeric layers are bonded.
