1. Field of the Invention:
The present invention relates to a rotating electric machine, e.g., synchronous machines, normal synchronous machines as well as dual-fed machines, applications in asynchronous static current converter cascades, outerpole machines and synchronous flow machines and a method for making the same.
2. Discussion of the Background:
In the present document the terms radial, axial and peripheral constitute indications of direction defined in relation to the stator of the machine unless expressly stated otherwise. The term cable lead-through refers in the document to each individual length of the cable extending through a slot.
The machine is intended primarily as a generator in a power station for generating electric power. The machine is intended for use with high voltages. High voltages shall be understood here to mean electric voltages in excess of 10 kV. A typical operating range for the machine according to the invention may be 36 to 800 kV.
Conventional machines have been designed for voltages in the range 6-30 kV and 30 kV has normally been considered to be an upper limit. This generally implies that a generator is to be connected to the power network via a transformer which steps up the voltage to the level of the power network, i.e. in the range of approximately 100-400 kV.
By using high-voltage insulated electric conductors, in the following termed cables, with solid insulation similar to that used in cables for transmitting electric power in the stator winding (e.g. PEX cables) the voltage of the machine may be increased to such levels that it may be connected directly to the power network without an intermediate transformer. PEX refers to Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).
This concept generally implies that the slots in which the cables are placed in the stator to be deeper than conventional technology (thicker insulation due to higher voltage and more turns in the winding) requires. This entails new problems with regard to cooling, vibrations and natural frequencies in the region of the coil end, teeth and winding.
Securing the cable in the slot is also a problem—the cable is to be inserted into the slot without its outer layer being damaged. The cable is subjected to currents having a frequency of 100 Hz which cause a tendency to vibrate and, besides manufacturing tolerances with regard to the outer diameter, its dimensions will also vary with variations in temperature (i.e. load variations).
Although the predominant technology when supplying current to a high-voltage network for transmission, subtransmission and distribution, involves inserting a transformer between the generator and the power network as mentioned in the introduction, it is known that attempts are being made to eliminate the transformer by generating the voltage directly at the level of the network. Such a generator is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,429,244, U.S. Pat. No. 4,164,672 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,743,867.
The manufacture of coils for rotating machines is considered possible with good results up to a voltage range of 10-20 kV.
Attempts at developing a generator for voltages higher than this have been in progress for some time, as is evident from “Electrical World”, Oct. 15, 1932, pages 524-525, for instance. This article describes how a generator designed by Parson in 1929 was constructed for 33 kV. A generator in Langerbrugge, Belgium, is also described which produced a voltage of 36 kV. Although the article also speculates on the possibility of increasing the voltage levels, development of the concepts upon which these generators were based ceased. This was primarily due to deficiencies in the insulating system where several layers of varnish-impregnated mica foil and paper were used.
Certain attempts at lateral thinking in the design of synchronous generators are described in an article entitled “Water-and-oil-cooled Turbogenerator TVM-300” in J. Elektrotechnika, No. 1 1970, pages 6-8 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,429,244 “Stator of generator” and in Russian patent specification CCCP Patent 955369.
The water-and-oil-cooled synchronous machine as described in J. Elektrotechnika is intended for voltages up to 20 kV. The article describes a new insulation system consisting of oil/paper insulation whereby it is possible to immerse the stator completely in oil. The oil can then be used as coolant and simultaneously insulation. A dielectric oil-separating ring is provided at the internal surface of the core to prevent oil in the stator from leaking out towards the rotor. The stator winding is manufactured from conductors having an oval, hollow shape, provided with oil and paper insulation. The coil sides with the insulation are retained in the slots with rectangular cross section by way of wedges. Oil is used as coolant both in the hollow conductors and in cavities in the stator walls. However, such cooling systems necessitate a large number of connections for both oil and electricity at the coil ends. The thick insulation also results in increased radius of curvature of the conductors which in turn causes increased size at of the coil overhang.
The above-mentioned U.S. patent relates to the stator part of a synchronous machine comprising a magnetic core of laminated plate with trapezoid slots for the stator winding. The slots are stepped since the need for insulation of the stator winding decreases less in towards the rotor where the part of the winding located closest to the neutral point is situated. The stator part also includes dielectric oil-separating cylinders nearest the inner surface of the core. This part will increase the excitation requirement in comparison with a machine lacking this ring. The stator winding is manufactured from oil-saturated cables having the same diameter for each layer of the coil. The layers are separated from each other by way of spacers in the slots and secured with wedges. Characteristic of the winding is that it consists of two “half-windings” connected in series. One of the two half-windings is situated centrally inside an insulated sheath. The conductors of the stator winding are cooled by surrounding oil. A drawback with so much oil in the system is the risk of leakage and the extensive cleaning-up process required in the event of a fault condition. The parts of the insulating sheath located outside the slots have a cylindrical part and a conical screening electrode whose task it is to control the electrical field strength in the area where the cable leaves the plate.
It is evident from CCCP 955369 that in another attempt at increasing-the rated voltage of a synchronous machine, the oil-cooled stator winding consists of a conductor with insulation for medium-high voltage, having the same dimension for all layers. The conductor is placed in stator slots in the shape of circular, radially situated openings corresponding to the cross-sectional area of the conductor and space required for fixation and cooling. The various radially located layers of the winding are surrounded and fixed in insulating tubes. Insulating spacer elements fix the tubes in the stator slot. In view of the oil cooling, an inner dielectric ring is also required here to seal the oil coolant from the inner air gap. The construction illustrated has no stepping of the insulation or of the stator slots. The construction shows an extremely narrow, radial waist between the various stator slots, entailing a large slot leakage flow which greatly affects the excitation requirements of the machine.
In a report from the Electric Power Research Institute, EPRI, EL-3391, from April 1984 an exposition is given of the generator concept in which a higher voltage is achieved in an electric generator with the object of being able to connect such a generator to a power network without intermediate transformers. The report deems such a solution to offer satisfactory gains in efficiency and financial advantages. The main reason that in 1984 it was considered possible to start developing generators for direct connection to the power network was that by that time a superconducting rotor had been developed. The considerable excitation capacity of the superconducting field makes it possible to use air-gap windings with sufficient thickness to withstand the electric stresses.
By combining the construction of an excitation circuit, the most promising concept of the project, together with winding, a so-called “monolith cylinder armature”, a concept in which two cylinders of conductors are enclosed in three cylinders of insulation and the whole structure is attached to an iron core without teeth, it was deemed that a rotating electric machine for high voltage could be directly connected to a power network. This solution implied that the main insulation has to be made sufficiently thick to withstand network-to-network and network-to-earth potentials. Besides it requiring a superconducting rotor, a clear drawback with the proposed solution is that it requires a very thick insulation, thus increasing the size of the machine. The coil ends must be insulated and cooled with oil or freones in order to direct the large electric fields in the ends. The whole machine is to be hermetically enclosed to prevent the liquid dielectric medium from absorbing moisture from the atmosphere.
It is also known, e.g. through FR 2 556 146, GB 1 135 242 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,392,779, to apply various types of support members for the windings in the slots of a rotating electric machine. These do not apply to machines having an insulation system designed specifically for high voltages, and therefore lack relevance for the present invention.
The present invention is related to the above-mentioned problems associated with avoiding damage to the surface of the cable caused by wear against the surface, resulting from vibration during operation.
The slot through which the cable is inserted is relatively uneven or rough since in practice it is extremely difficult to control the position of the plates sufficiently exactly to obtain a perfectly uniform surface. The rough surface has sharp edges which may shave off parts of the semiconductor layer surrounding the cable. This leads to corona and breakthrough at operating voltage.
When the cable is placed in the slot and adequately clamped there is no risk of damage during operation. Adequate clamping implies that forces exerted (primarily radially acting current forces with double main frequency) do not cause vibrations that cause wear on the semiconductor surface. The outer semiconductor is to thus be protected against mechanical damage even during operation.
During operation the cable is also subjected to thermal loading so that the cross-linked polyethylene material expands. The diameter of a 145 kV cross-linked polyethylene cable, for instance, increases by about 1.5 mm at an increase in temperature from 20 to 70° C. Space must therefore be allowed for this thermal expansion.
It is already known to arrange a tube filled with cured epoxy compound between the bundle of cables in a slot and a wedge arranged at the opening of the slot in order to compress the cables in radial direction out towards the bottom of the slot. The abutment of the cables against each other thus also provides certain fixation in lateral direction. However, such a solution is not possible when the cables are arranged separate from each other in the slot. Furthermore the position force in lateral direction is relatively limited and no adjustment to variations in diameter is achieved. This construction cannot therefore be used for high-voltage cables of the type under consideration for the machine according to the present invention.
Against this background an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of achieving a machine of the type under consideration so that the cable is not subjected to mechanical damage during operation as a result of vibrations, and which permits thermal expansion of the cable. Achieving this would enable the use of cables that do not have a mechanically protecting outer layer. In such a case the outer layer of the cable has a thin semiconductor material which is sensitive to mechanical damage.
According to a first aspect of the invention this problem has been solved by giving a machine of the type described herein.
The invention is in the first place intended for use with a high-voltage cable composed of an inner core having a plurality of strand parts, an inner semiconducting layer, an insulating layer situated outside this and an outer semi-conducting layer situated outside the insulating layer, particularly in the order of magnitude of 20-200 mm in diameter and 40-3000 mm2 in conducting area.
The application on such cables thus constitutes preferred embodiments of the invention.
The elongated pressure members running parallel with the cable lead-throughs secure the latter in the slots and their elasticity permits a ceratin degree of fluctuation in the diameter of the cable to be absorbed. An important prerequisite is hereby created for achieving a machine with high-voltage cables in the windings at a voltage level that permits direct connection to the power network without any intermediate transformer.
According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention at least one of the two semi-conducting layers has the same coefficient of thermal expansion as the solid insulation so that defects, cracks and the like are avoided upon thermal movement in the winding.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention of the support members include elongated pressure members.
The elongated pressure members running parallel with the cable parts secure the latter in the slots and the resilient members allow for the absorption of a certain degree of fluctuation in the diameter of the cable. An important prerequisite is hereby created for achieving a machine with high-voltage cables in the windings at a voltage level that permits direct connection to the power supply system without any intermediate transformer.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention the pressure elements include a tube filled with a pressure-hardened material, preferably epoxy. An expedient and reliable type of pressure element is hereby obtained, which is simple to apply.
According to a preferred embodiment each pressure element is arranged to act simultaneously against two cable lead-throughs so that the number of pressure elements may be limited to approximately half the number of cable lead-throughs in each slot. The pressure elements are preferably arranged in waist parts of the slot, situated between a pair of cable lead-throughs, thus facilitating the use of a single pressure element for two cable lead-throughs. In this case it is advantageous to design the waist part with a constriction on only one side as to leave space for the pressure element on the opposite side.
According to a preferred embodiment the pressure members are arranged on the same side of the slot as the resilient members, which produces a simple embodiment. It is also advantageous for the pressure members and resilient members to be joined together, suitably as a pressure hose with resilient pads applied on its outer surface.
According to yet another preferred embodiment the support member consists of a corrugated sheath surrounding the cable.
Since the cable is surrounded by a corrugated sheath it will be firmly fixed in the stator slots, the tops of the corrugation abutting and supported by the slot walls. The vibrations are suppressed by way of clamping at the same time as the outer semi-conductor layer of the cable is protected from damaging contact with the laminations in the slot walls. The corrugations also allow space for thermal expansion of the cable.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the corrugated sheath is in the form of a separate tubular corrugated sheath applied around the outer semiconductor layer of the cable. The tube may be made of insulating or electrically conducting plastic. The sheath thus constitutes a protection that screens the semiconductor layer from direct contact with the slot walls, thereby protecting it. The sheath is thus in contact with the depressions of the corrugations towards the semiconductor layer and the cable can expand in the undulating spaces formed between sheath and semiconductor layer.
In this preferred embodiment it is also advantageous to arrange the corrugations annularly or as a helix. It is also advantageous in this embodiment to arrange a casting compound between sheath and slot walls. The position of the sheath is thus fixed more securely, avoiding any risk of it being displaced. Favorable heat transfer is also obtained from the cable to surrounding parts and any cooling arrangements provided. These may advantageously be embedded in the casting compound as longitudinally running tubes.
In a preferred alternative embodiment of the invention the corrugated sheath surface is in the form of corrugations directly in the outer semiconductor layer of the cable. The semiconductor layer will then admittedly come into direct contact with the slot walls, but only at the tops of the corrugations. Since the outer semiconductor layer is limited on its inner side by a cylindrical surface, its thickness at the tops of the corrugations will be considerable so that any damage to the tops of the corrugations on the semiconductor layer as a result of the scratching or wear from the slot walls will not cause significant damage to the semiconductor layer.
In this alternative embodiment the corrugations preferably run in the longitudinal direction of the cable.
In another advantageous embodiment the pressure elements are in the form of a hose. An expedient and reliable type of support element is thus formed, which is also simple to apply.
According to a preferred variant of this embodiment, the hose is filled with a pressure fluid. This enables the elasticity and contact pressure to be easily adjusted to that required. The hose may either be closed, which has the advantage that no special mechanism is required to maintain the pressure, or the pressure medium in the hose may communicate with a pressure source, enabling the pressure to be regulated and reduced if necessary.
In another preferred embodiment the hose encloses a pressure medium in solid form, e.g. silicon rubber, an alternative that provides ease of manufacture, little risk of faults occurring and requires little maintenance. In this case, the pressure medium should preferably have a cavity running axially through it.
According to a preferred embodiment each support element is arranged to act simultaneously against two cable parts so that the number of support elements may be limited to approximately half the number of cable lead-throughs in each slot. The support elements are preferably arranged in waist parts of the slot, situated between a pair of cable lead-throughs, thus facilitating the use of a single support element for two cable lead-throughs. In this case it is advantageous to design the waist parts with a large constriction on only one side so as to leave space for the support element on the opposite side, which may have a shallower constriction or none at all, i.e. so that the narrow part is asymmetrical.
According to a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, pressure members can be conveniently arranged in the stator slots so that, owing to the hose being filled with pressure medium after it is in place, an economic manufacturing process is achieved with regard to this particular component of the machine.
It is advantageous to pull the hose through several times, forwards and backwards, thereby producing several pressure elements from the same hose which is jointly filled with pressure medium.
According to another preferred embodiment the cable is surrounded by a corrugated sheath before it is inserted into the slot.
This embodiment offers considerable advantages since the risk of the laminations shaving off vital parts of the outer semiconductor layer is eliminated since only the tops of the corrugations reach the slot walls.
In a preferred embodiment of the alternative just described, a separate, tubular corrugated sheath is applied around the cable before it is inserted into the slot.
In this embodiment the sheath is preferably fitted over the cable in the axial direction and a lubricant is used, thereby achieving simple application of the sheath onto the cable.
In an advantageous variant of this embodiment of the method the corrugations on the sheath are annular. When the sheath with the cable is inserted into the slot by pulling on the sheath, the annular corrugations cause the sheath to stretch in longitudinal direction at the same time as its largest diameter decreases, i.e. the tops of the corrugations move radially inwards. A clearance is thus obtained between the sheath and the slot wall which facilitates insertion. When the sheath is in place and tensile force is no longer applied, it returns to its original shape where the tops of the corrugations will be in contact with the slot wall and fix the cable firmly in place.
In an alternative embodiment of the method the corrugations run in the longitudinal direction of the cable. In a particularly preferred embodiment of this alternative the corrugations are produced directly in the outer semiconductor layer of the cable. The advantage is thus achieved that the need for separate elements is eliminated. It also means that the corrugations can be produced simply by manufacturing the cable in such a way that its outer semiconductor layer is extruded, which constitutes a preferred embodiment of this alternative.
The support element is preferably inserted axially, after the winding phase.
Since the support elements are inserted after the high-voltage cable has been wound they constitute no obstruction for passing the cable through the slot during the actual winding process, and the axial insertion can be carried out in a simple manner, several advantageous ways being feasible.
In a preferred embodiment of the method each support element is inserted in such a state that it can pass without obstruction through the cross-sectional profile formed in the available space between cable and slot wall. Once the support element is in place it is caused to expand transversely to the axial direction.
Since the support element is given its intended thicker extension only after insertion, enabling it to be inserted without obstruction, there is negligible friction during the insertion, which facilitates the process.
In a preferred variant of this invention the support element includes an outer, thin-walled elastic hose. If it is sufficiently thin and elastic it will be so slippery that it can easily be inserted as described above. The hose can then be filled with cold-hardening silicon rubber to assume its expanded state, in which case the hose should suitably contain an elongated body upon insertion. When the hose is thereafter filled with the hardening, elastic material, the space between body and hose will be filled and less filler is required.
Another preferred variant to achieve unimpeded insertion of the support element is for it to have a smaller cross-sectional profile than the cross-sectional profile of the available space so that there is a clearance upon insertion. It may be advantageous to subject the support element to an axial tensile force upon insertion so that its cross-sectional profile is reduced. Once in place, the tensile force is released so that the support element assumes its operating shape. This offers a simple method of application. Alternatively the cross-sectional profile of the support element may be forcibly deformed so that it can be passed though the space, whereupon the deformation is released when the element is in place. This also constitutes a simple and expedient method of application.
A third preferred variant for achieving unimpeded insertion is for the support element originally to have had a cross-sectional profile in unloaded state that is less than the cross-sectional profile of the space, and is in the form of a hose which, when it has been applied, is expanding by placing the hose under pressure, suitably by way of pressurized gas or liquid or by introducing a cold-hardening compound which is allowed to solidify.
The invention will be explained in more detail in the following description of the advantageous embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and more particularly to
In the drawings the cables 6 are illustrated schematically, only the conducting central part of the cable lead-through or coil side being drawn in. As can be seen, each slot 5 has varying cross-section with alternative wide parts 7 and narrow parts 8. The wide parts 7 are substantially circular and surround cable lead-throughs and the waist parts between these form the narrow parts 8. The waist parts serve to radially position each cable lead-through. The cross-section of the slot as a whole also becomes slightly narrow in radial direction inwards. This is because the voltage in the cable lead-throughs is lower the closer they are situated to the radially inner part of the stator. Slimmer cable lead-through can therefore be used here, whereas increasingly coarser cable lead-throughs are required further out. In the example illustrated, cables of three different dimensions are used, arrange in three correspondingly dimensioned sections 51, 52, 53 of the slots 5.
The arrangement of the single-sided waist parts 8a provides extra space in the slot for pressure elements 13. The pressure element 13 illustrated in
A sheet 14 of rubber or other material having equivalent elastic properties is arranged on the opposite slot wall. Each cable lead-through will thus be resiliently clamped between the pressure element 13 and the rubber sheet 14 so that it is fixed in its position but so that the thermal expansion of the cable can also be accommodated. As can be seen in the enlarged section through it shown in
The pressure elements 13, 113 are inserted into the slots after the stator cables have been wound. The hose 11, 111 for the pressure elements 13, 113 is then inserted axially into the substantially triangular space between a pair of cable lead-throughs and the tangential wall part 9. At this stage the hose is not yet filled with epoxy and therefore has a collapsed shape as illustrated in
A single hose 11, 111 can be pulled repeatedly forwards and backwards through the slot 5 so that the various pressure elements forming the pressure members of a slot are formed out of a single long hose upon application, the hose then being filled with epoxy as described above. When the epoxy has hardened properly, the arc-shaped hose parts formed outside each end plane of the stator can be cut away and removed.
The rubber sheet in the example shown need not necessarily be arranged in the part of the slot opposite to the pressure element. Instead it may be arranged on the same side. Neither need the resilient element in the embodiment according to
Instead of using a material such as epoxy which is hardened under pressure, the hose may be filled with a pressure fluid in gaseous or liquid form. In this case the tube itself acquires elastic properties and will function both as a pressure element and as a resilient member. The rubber sheet/strips are not needed in such an embodiment.
The difference between the outer and inner diameter of the corrugated sheath 212 is suited to the thermal expansion of the cable, normally about 3-4 mm. The wave depth, i.e. the distance between a depression 214 and a top 213 (d in
The cable 6 with sheath is shown in an axial section in
When the machine is in operation the thermal expansion causes the outer shape of the cable 6 to adjust to the shape of the ribbed sheath 212 since expansion occurs only in the spaces formed between the depressions 214. This is illustrated in the lower part of
The fact that the space outside the sheath is filled out during operation assures the heat transfer from the cable to the surroundings. When the cable cools down during an interruption in operation it will to a certain extent retain its profiled outer surface.
When the stator is wound at manufacture the sheath 212 is first fitted onto the cable 6. A water-based lubricant such as a 1% polyacrylamide may be used. The cable is then passed though the slot 5 by pulling on the sheath. The corrugations cause the sheath 212 to stretch and it is thus compressed in the radial direction so that its outer diameter is decreased. A clearance is thus obtained through the wall of the slot 5, thereby facilitating insertion. Once in place, when the tensile force is no longer applied, the sheath expands so that its ridges 213 lie in contact with the slot wall as shown in
Another method is to thread the sheath 212 into the slot 5 by pulling on the sheath. The corrugations then cause the sheath to stretch and it is thus compresses in radial direction so that its outer diameter is decreased. A clearance is thus obtained in relation to the wall of the slot 5, thereby facilitating insertion. Once in place, when the tensile force is no longer applied, the sheath expands so that its ridges 213 lie in contact with the slot wall as shown in
The cable is then drawn into the sheath which is positioned, possibly using a water-based lubricant such as 1% acrylamide.
The casting compound 215 is then introduced into the spaces outside the sheath and this is secured to the slot walls by the casting compound. The longitudinal cooling tubes 216 may be embedded in the casting compounds at the same time. The casting compound 215 transfers the heat from the cable to the surroundings and/or the cooling tubes 216. Casting the sheath in this way also ensures that it is positioned in axial direction and, thanks to its corrugated shape the cable is axially secured in the sheath. The cable is thus firmly held in the slot even if the machine is oriented with a vertical axis.
The cable illustrated in
During operation the thermal expansion of the cable will result in the cable expanding only in the free spaces between the corrugations, and these free spaces will be substantially filled by the semiconductor material. The expansion force will also cause the contact pressure at the tops to increase and the clamping action to be intensified. The material of the semiconductor layer is deformed substantially elastically at temperatures around 20° C., whereas at high temperatures from about 70° C. and upwards the deformation will be increasingly plastic. When the cable cools down at an interruption in operation, therefore, its outer semiconductor layer will retain a ceratin deformation, thereby having less height at the corrugations.
In the embodiment according to
In both cases the corrugations may have some other appearance, e.g. helical. The corrugations may also run in two dimensions. The profile of the corrugations may be sinus-shaped as in
The corrugated sheath surface may also be formed using separate elements, e.g. longitudinal rods of polyamide arranged along the cable and distributed around its periphery.
These rods together with the outer semiconducting layer then forms a corrugated sheath surface in which the tops are formed by the rods and the depressions by the surface of the semiconductor layer.
The embodiment with corrugated sheath surface is suitable for slots with arbitrary profile of the slot walls, radially flat walls in
The arrangement of the single-sided waist parts 8a provides extra space in the slot for pressure elements 313. The pressure element 313 illustrated in the figure consists of a hose extending easily through the slots, i.e., parallel with the cable lead-throughs 6. The pressure element 313 is filled with pressure-hardened silicon or urethane rubber 312 which presses the hose out towards adjacent surface, acquiring a shape conforming to these surfaces upon hardening. The hose thus acquires a substantially triangular cross-section, with a first surface 11a supporting the slot wall, a second concave arc-shaped surface 311b abutting one of the adjacent cable lead-throughs 6b and a third surface 311c having the same shape as the second but abutting another of the adjacent cable lead-throughs 6a. Arranged in this manner, the pressure element 313 simultaneously presses the two cable lead-throughs 6a and 6b against the opposite slot wall with a force on each cable lead-through 6a, 6b that is directed substantially towards its center.
A sheet 310 of rubber or similar material is arranged on the opposite slot wall in the example shown.
The sheet 310 is applied to absorb a part of the thermal expansion. However, the element 313 may be adapted to enable absorption of all the thermal expansion, in which case the sheet 310 is omitted.
Several different variants for the slot profile are applicable besides those illustrated in

When the hoses 323, 315 are in place, the space between them is filled with a curable elastic rubber material, e.g. silicon rubber 316, below which the inner hose 315 is kept filled with compressed air. When the silicon rubber 316 has solidified a thin-walled hose is obtained which presses against cable and slot wall and which has a certain elasticity in order to absorb thermal expansion of the cable. The inner hose 315 may be concentric with the outer hose, but is suitably eccentrically situated. When the element 313 is expanded by being filled with silicon rubber, it will adapt to the cross-sectional shape of the available space, becoming a rounded-off triangular shape as shown in
