Abstract

The primary cable of compressed conductor is properly a low tension primary cable with the particularity of having a same sectional area that permits to conduct , the same amount of electric current to any part of an automotive vehicle. However, its external diameter is much more smaller related to a same caliber of the same nature because of the compression that it suffers during the process of the compacted joining in a joining machine.
The cable of compressed conductor has several advantages over other conventional primary cables, since a bigger standardization in the insulator thickness is found and in this way, a standardization on the results of the chemical-physical, and mechanical tests is accomplished. (these tests are compulsory because of its design.)

It is a sectional cut of the cable of fig. 1 with caliber of 0.50mm2 Fig. 3. It is a sectional cut of the primary cable of joining of compressed conductor with caliber 0.75 mm2 The fabrication of the primary cable of compressed conductor requires accuracy during the extrusion of the insulating cover and a reduction of the wire size.
To accomplish these conditions it is necessary to select the type of isolating material and the equipment to reduce the volume of the conventional cable .
The primary cable of the invention 10, is properly a low tension primary cable, with the particularity of having a same sectional area 11, and it allows to conduct the same amount of electric current to any part of the automotive vehicle.
However, its external diameter 12, is dimensionally smaller in comparison to a same caliber of the same nature of compacted joint in a joining machine.
This cable is fabricated with red copper wires 13, drawn by drawing machines of one-row as first stage ; as second stage a joining machine with pre-twister must be used so the joining- compacted operation can be done in the same way ;
finally, the Extrusion Stage, it will be set in a surrounding way to have a thickness of equal insulation a cover or insulation 14, of thermoplastic component of PVC (Vinyl Polichloride) with classification 90° with extra thin walls and with great resistance to abrasion in any extrusion machine for thermoplastic, accomplishing bigger numbers of production comparing it to a conventional primary cable.
The primary cable of compressed conductor has several advantages in comparison to the other conventional primary cables, since a bigger standardization is found in the insulation thickness and with this a standardization in the results of the chemical-physical and mechanical tests is done. (these tests are compulsory because o~f its design).
The cable has been designed for a usage in the fabrication of automotive harness where it H~II be exposed to work temperatures of -40° C to 105°
C, rank of temperatures specified by design of the electric systems.
The joint cable 10, presents a nucleus 12, constituted by a central wire 15, surrounded by at least six wires13, pre-twisted that form the joint nucleus and with wires of caliber 0.0325 mm with a sectional area of 0.35 mm2 and 0.2mm thick of insulator.
This cable must have to be fabricated looking that when compacting, the maximum electric resistance allowed is accomplished since this is the characteristic that commands. and will rule on the cable design.
The fabrication of the cable of this invention requires a precision during the extrusion of the insulating cover and a size reduction of the wire. To have this conditions it is necessary to reduce select the kind of insulating material, and the equipment necessary to reduce the size of the conventional cable size.

The principal characteristics of the finished products are A) It reduces the weight of the product.
B) 'Thinner harnesses are obtained.
C) The flexibility of the harnesses is increased by allowing a bigger amount of circuits in it D) ~4dvantages in the terminal application, by the insulator displacement E) It permits a bigger productivity in the extrusion areas and this way equipment stopping caused by thread (loosen wires) will be avoided.
F) It permits to obtain standardized results on the abrasion tests, oil, heat, tension, lengthen and low temperatures resistance.
