Current conductor

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The conductor has a main part (12) and a complementary part (14) separated by a concave surface. Recesses (18) are provided internally to an envelope extending over length of the conductor. The main part has an orthogonal cross-section formed by three sides of an enveloping rectangle of a cross-section (10) of the conductor and by a curved line (16) of the main part. The complementary part has another cross-section formed by a fourth side of the rectangle and by the line. The recesses are located in the complementary part. The main part has contact tracks (20) around a connecting groove (22). #CMT# : #/CMT# The main part of the conductor comprises 60 percentages of the conducting material of the conductor. The conductor is made of anodized aluminum. The contact tracks are covered with copper materials. An independent claim is also included for an electric cabinet. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Electric conductor e.g. horizontal elongate bar type high-amperage current and/or three-phase current conductors, for use in an electric power supply and/or distribution installation of an electric cabinet (claimed). Can also be used for a vertical type electric conductor. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The conductor is made of anodized aluminum, so that the conductor ensures better performance, light weight suitable for handling and for ergonomic assembling, and low cost. The cross-section of the conductor is designed to limit the quantity of materials necessary to transmit the given rated current. The utilization of the materials of the conductor reduces losses by Joule effect in the equivalent cross-section of the conductor. The design of the conductor enables fast erection and electric connection of the conductor. The elements containing the complementary part provide sufficient strength to the conductor to withstand at mechanical stresses. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a top view of a cross-section of a current conductor. 10 : Cross-section 12 : Main part 14 : Complementary part 16 : Curved line 18 : Recesses 20 : Contact tracks 22 : Connecting groove.
