Conductor Lines

Conductor lines are designed to conduct currents even under extreme environmental conditions. Due to their special design, they are much more resistant to heat than conventional cables. They are therefore used for flexible bridging of connections in order to compensate for mechanical movements. For this reason, they are used not only in switchgear, industrial furnaces and electrolysis plants, but also in railroad applications.

The current is usually transmitted via electrolytic copper. However, aluminum or cupal sheet is also used from time to time. A distinction is made between foil strips, lamella strips and stranded strips.

Foil strips consist of layered foils that are packaged at the end, while lamella strips consist of copper lamellae laid on top of each other and stranded strips consist of strands laid next to each other.
