Zusammenfassung:An electrically conductive wire for deep water transmission includes a first wire portion and a second wire portion. The first wire portion makes up one end of the wire, and is formed from a first metal. The second wire portion is formed from a second metal. The first metal has a higher ultimate tensile strength than the second metal. The first wire portion is used to support the weight of the second wire portion, thereby allowing the electrically conductive wire to be used in underwater or subsea power cables which may be freely suspended from their origin for providing electricity to electrical devices located in deep water or ultra-deep water.
