Overhead transmission conductor cable

A cable for power distribution applications includes a plurality of wires bundled into the cable. The plurality of wires typically is comprised of interior wires and peripheral wires with the peripheral wires surrounding the interior wires. At least one wire is coated with a high emissivity coating that includes at least 10 weight percent aluminum oxide and a metal oxide other than aluminum oxide. Characteristically, the wire coated with the high emissivity coating has an emissivity greater than about 0.5 in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum and a surface area at least 50 times greater than the surface area of a bare wire prior to being coated with the high emissivity coating.

Substrates such as sheet metal components may be kept spaced apart from each other using a molded polymeric spacing device. The spacing device has a main body with a thickness corresponding to the desired minimum spacing between the substrates and, extending from the main body or a base connected to said main body, an attachment member capable of being inserted into an opening in one of the substrates, but resistant to being easily withdrawn from such opening. Noise and vibration that might otherwise be generated or propagated by closely proximate substrates are reduced through the use of such molded polymeric spacing devices, which may be integrally fashioned from a rubber.
