Abstract
A high voltage cable wherein each conductive element comprises a flexible inner conductor, an insulating sheath within which the inner conductor moves freely, a flexible outer conductor encasing the insulating sheath and an insulating jacket which encases the outer and inner conductors. The cable may consist of one conductive element or a plurality of conductive elements distributed symmetrically in groups over a circular cross-sectional area.
