The present invention relates to a surface modified overhead conductor with a coating that allows the conductor to operate at lower temperatures. The coating is an inorganic, non-white coating having durable heat and wet aging characteristics. The coating preferably contains a heat radiating agent with desirable properties, and an appropriate binder/suspension agent. In a preferred embodiment, the coating has L* value of less than 80, a heat emissivity of greater than or equal to 0.5, and/or a solar absorptivity coefficient of greater than 0.3.

Electrical devices having polymeric members

An improved shielding composition for power cables is disclosed. The composition includes a base polymer, conductive carbon black and various additives, including trimethylquinoline as an antioxidant in greater than conventional amounts. Cable shields prepared from the composition exhibit improved aging performance in accelerated cable life tests (ACLT).
