Abstract

The invention relates to a cable ( 1 ) having at least one electrical line ( 2 ), the electrical line ( 2 ) being surrounded by an electrically conductive sheath ( 5 ), the sheath ( 5 ) being formed from an electrically conductive and resilient sealing material.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An arrangement with a cable and a housing, the cable having at least one electrical line, wherein the electrical line is surrounded by an electrically conductive sheath, the sheath being formed from an electrically conductive and resilient sealing material, wherein the cable is connected to the housing, the sheath being in abutment with an abutment face of the housing in a sealing and electrically conductive manner, in abutment axially and/or radially in a sealing and electrically conductive manner.

2. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive and resilient sealing material is constructed in a purely resilient and/or viscoelastic manner.

3. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive sheath is surrounded by an electrically insulating outer sheath.

4. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the sheath is produced from an admixture of a resilient material and an electrically conductive material.

5. An arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the electrically conductive material has carbon black and/or graphite.

6. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the sheath is produced from an admixture of a resilient material and electrically conductive particles.

7. An arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein the electrically conductive particles are constructed in the form of metal particles, electrically conductive nanoparticles and/or graphite particles.

8. An arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the electrically conductive particles are constructed in the form of graphite tubes.

9. An arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein an electrically conductive particle is constructed in the form of a particle having an electrically conductive layer.

10. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the sheath has an electrically conductive silica gel and/or a dry silica gel.

11. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the sheath is constructed as a sleeve.

12. An arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein the sheath is constructed as an extruded sleeve.

13. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the sheath is constructed in the form of a strip which is wound around the electrical line, the strip in particular being wound in a layer and lateral faces of the strip being in mutual abutment in a sealing and electrically conductive manner.

14. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the sheath is constructed in the form of a tape, which is shaped to form a slotted sleeve and the mutually facing lateral faces of the sleeve are in mutual abutment in a sealing and electrically conductive manner.
