self supporting cable for 350m vertical drop

[garyca]

Having trouble locating a cable to supply 100kVA at 1000 Volts 3 phase to a platform that is raised and lowered to 350 meters. The cable will be reeled off a drum and needs to be able to support its own weight. Do you know what companies can supply such a cable?

Thanks

Look for ROV (remote operated vehicle) cable. Some suppliers:

South Bay Cable

The Rochester Corporation
Alcatel (Nexus?)
JDR Cable Systems (UK)

These are marine cables, but I'm sure these guys can help.

- make a product called Hi-Tensile Verlock - I believe i'ts self supporting to 2000' lengths
and voltages up to 46kV
Anixter usually has Vertitec but not sure on the specs on that
