Abstract
An improved fault protected electric power cable is disclosed. In the improved fault protected electric power cable, there are at least two insulated power conductors and an uninsulated ground conductor wherein the ground conductor and the insulated power conductors are all in electrical contact with a conductive polymer composition. If an electrical fault occurs in one of the power conductors the conductive polymer composition will carry the current to the ground conductor.
