Patent attributes
An electric cable includes an electrical conductor surrounded by a first layer of mica tape made up of mica particles deposited by means of a polymer binder on a backing, a second layer of a polyimide tape, and a third layer of a polytetrafluoroethylene tape, where the first layer is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of at least 400° C. and the ratio R of the weight per unit length of PTFE over the sum of the weights per unit length of the polymer binder and of the polyimide is such that R is greater than or equal to 2 when the section of the electrical conductor is no greater than 0.2 mm2, R is greater than or equal to 4 when the section of the electrical conductor is strictly greater than 0.2 mm2 and strictly less than 0.6 mm2, R is greater than or equal to 6 when the section of the electrical conductor is equal to 0.6 mm2, and R is greater than or equal to 12 when the section of the electrical conductor is strictly greater than 0.6 mm2.
