Jointed power cable and method of manufacturing the same

The present disclosure relates to a power cable (5) comprising a conductive core (9) comprising a conductor (13) including a plurality of sections (13a, 13b), and an electrical insulation system (11; 11') enclosing the conductor (13), and a sheath (7) enclosing the conductive core (9), wherein one of the plurality of sections (13a, 13b) of the conductor (13) is a first conductor section (13a) and another of the plurality of sections (13a, 13b) of the conductor is a second conductor section (13b), which first conductor section (13a) has a first cross-sectional layout that provides a first ampacity for the first conductor section (13a), and which second conductor section (13b) has a second cross-sectional layout that provides a second ampacity for the second conductor section (13b), wherein the first ampacity is higher than the second ampacity, wherein the plurality of sections (13a, 13b) are thermally joined, and wherein the electrical insulation system (11) extends continually from the first conductor section (13a) to the second conductor (13b) section of the conductor (13). A method of manufacturing a power cable is also presented.
