• The copper wires undergo a series of
  manufacturing and engineering processes before
  they are ready for use. The stranded and braided
  copper wires are special set of copper wires that
  are used for specific industrial applications.
• The primary cabling and jacketing process makes
  the braided copper wires far stronger than the
  bare copper wires. The braided copper wires are
  grouped during cabling and stranding operation.

How to eliminate the moisture from braided copper
wires during manufacturing?

• The braided copper wires produced by cabling
  process are susceptible to moisture. It can cause
  internal faults and also cause noise
  interference. In order to remove moisture from
  the cables and ensure dry operation, the braided
  copper wires are pressurized. Use of air-core
  cables at the cabling station keeps the moisture
  from entering into the gap between wires and the
  covering.

• Another method to prevent moisture from entering
  the cables is the use of gel compounds. The cable
  is filled with the gel using core wraps. The gel
  compound can be introduced at two stages of
  cabling process. They are
• During the twisting process at cabling station
• During the jacketing process

Do jacketed braided copper wires require any
protective covering?

• Yes, they do. The jacketed braided copper wires
  are filled with gels and the core is then passed
  through a stream of hot water. Aluminium sheath
  around the braided copper wires ensures that the
  cable is capable of withstanding the high voltage
  surges, during a lightning strike. It acts as a
  grounding path for aerial cabling layouts. A
  combination of aluminium and steel sheath is also
  used for copper cables. Steel sheath with
  corrugations provide mechanical strength for
  buried cables susceptible to floods and pest
  attacks. Low density polyethylene is used for
  braided copper wires exposed to sunlight and long
  distance overheads.
