ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DEVICE, FOR CONNECTING BETWEEN TWO SUCCESSIVE CELLS OF A SERIES OF CELLS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ALUMINIUM

摘要

The electrical connection device connecting the cells in series comprises: a first conductor (16) connected to the cathode assembly of cell (N−1) and to the anode frame of cell (N), having a portion (19) located between said pots (N−1) and (N) in which the current (I) flows in the direction of the alignment axis (x) of the pots; a second conductor (24) connected to the cathode assembly of cell (N) and to the anode frame of cell (N+1), having a portion (23) located between said pots (N−1) and (N) in which the current flows away from the axis. short-circuiting wedges (20, 21) housed between said portions (19, 23) of said conductors (16, 24); a third conductor (27) to balance the current flowing through the wedges.
