BUSBAR ARRANGEMENT FOR LARGE, TRANSVERSALLY DISPOSED ELECTROLYSIS CELLS

摘要

A potline for the electrolytic production of aluminium which provides compensation for the unwanted magnetic influence between two or more rows of transversely arranged aluminium electrolysis cells. Electric current is conducted from the rear side of a cell in a row to the next cell and also around or under the short ends of the cell. The busbars are arranged unsymmetrically relative to the centre line of the cell row and one or more of the busbars underneath the cell are disposed at an angle ( alpha ) to the centre line of the row of cells.
