Abstract

See full text

A Metal-Clad cable includes at least two conductor assemblies and a non-linear bonding/grounding conductor within a metal sheath. Each conductor assembly has an electrical conductor, an insulation layer extending around and along the length of each of the electrical conductors, a jacket layer disposed around the insulating layer and a polymeric protective layer disposed around the jacket layer along the length of each of the electrical conductors. The bonding/grounding conductor includes a plurality of undulations disposed along a length thereof, and is disposed within the metal sheath so that it is in contact with an interior surface of the metal sheath. The bonding/grounding conductor is in cabled relation with the conductor assemblies. The undulations of the bonding/grounding conductor provide a degree of resiliency to the connection between the conductors and the metal sheath to facilitate easy removal of the metal sheath when making terminal connections.
