Abstract:
A coaxial electric power transmission cable has an inner conductor within an outer conductor with solid dielectric material provided in the space therebetween. The dielectric material is solid at operating temperatures but non-solid at ambient temperature. An insulative spacer is provided for maintaining the coaxial alignment. The spacer includes insulative material which is identical to the solid dielectric material and may include a solid insulative insert having a solidification point higher than the insulative material whereby at least approximate coaxial spacing may be maintained should the insulative material not be maintained as a solid.
