Patent ID: 8829347

Claim:
An umbilical comprising at least one electrical power cable enclosed in an enclosure surrounding and defining the umbilical, each power cable comprises a high tensile strength electrical conductor which is comprised of such material and has such a cross-section that each cable is operable to transmit electrical power therealong and is also of sufficient strength to partially withstand tensile load applied to the umbilical; and a hang-off termination of the umbilical positioned and configured to be operable to connect the umbilical to an installation, wherein the hang-off termination is of sufficient strength to withstand tensile load applied to the umbilical and applied to the hang-off termination, wherein the hang-off termination comprises a primary hang-off termination, and each electrical power cable extends through the primary hang-off termination without being fully anchored to it, wherein the power cable has a voltage rating falling in the range 6 kV to 35 kV.
