1. An electrical cable for a submersible well pump, comprising in combination:

  • a plurality of conductors;

    an insulating layer surrounding each conductor, the insulating layer being permeable to gas and resistant to oil and brine;

    a separate woven fabric layer for each of the conductors, each fabric layer consisting essentially of organic material and individually surrounding each of the insulating layers in nonadhering contact; and

    a separate elastomeric jacket for each of the conductors, each jacket extruded over and bonded to the fabric layer, the fabric layers being of a sufficiently dense weave to prevent contact of the material of the jacket with the insulating layers during extrusion to facilitate stripping, the jacket having means for allowing gas absorbed in the insulating layers and the jacket to escape while the ambient pressure is lowered, the fabric layers providing hoop strength for preventing rupturing of the insulating layers.
