Patent ID: 7309835

Claim:
A cable and termination system, comprising a) a cable comprising a cable core and cable wrap, i) said cable core comprising three insulated phase conductors, each phase conductor being a soft drawn tinned or bare copper conductor, three ground conductors, the ground conductors collectively having a total cross-section of at least one-half of the cross-section of a phase conductor and being a soft drawn tinned or bare copper conductor, and filler; wherein each ground conductor corresponds with one of the phase conductors, respectively, and is in intimate contact with that phase conductor and a second phase conductor; and wherein the filler is interspersed within the cable core to force the ground conductors into symmetrical, geometric location with their corresponding phase conductor and a second phase conductor; and ii) said cable wrap comprising: binder tape, applied over said cable core, copper tape, applied helically over the layer of binder tape, with an overlap of fifty percent, an interlocking strip of armor, applied over said copper tape, and an overall jacket; and b) a termination comprising: a first connector coupled with a rubber grounding seal having metal tines, a second, reverse-threaded connector comprising an exterior metal body and a male metal body coupled with a collet sleeve, said exterior male metal body being configured to attach to said first connector and said male metal body, and a plurality of tinned-copper braids secured about said copper tape of the cable core.
