Cable and a mobile electrical appliance having a cable

摘要

In the case of a cable having at least one control conductor (3) and at least one metallic power conductor (2) which carries a voltage which exceeds the mains voltage, in order to prevent the voltage which is present on the metallic power conductor having negative effects on the control conductor (3) the at least one control conductor (3) is constructed as an optical conductor made of an electrically non-conductive material. In order to protect a mobile electrical appliance which is connected to an electrical voltage source (power source) by means of a cable (1) which has at least one metallic power conductor (2) which carries a voltage which exceeds the mains voltage against the operator being injured in the event of the metallic power conductor (2) being damaged, at least one optical conductor (3) is arranged on the outer casing surface (5) of the at least one metallic power conductor (2), which is sheathed in an insulating manner, said optical conductor (3) being connected to a safety disconnect device which renders the power conductor (2) inoperative. <IMAGE>
