Current conductor for an electrical device, especially bus bar conductor for an electrical medium voltage installation
View Patent ↗A current conductor for an electrical device including an electrically conducting central section having a first side and a second side. The central section is configured to receive at least one inserted electrical component. Two electrical conducting shield sections are each disposed on one of the first side and the side and configured to shield against an electric field. The shield sections cover the central section and the at least one inserted electrical component.
1. A current conductor for an electrical device comprising:
an electrically conducting central section having a first side and a second side, and configured to receive at least one inserted electrical component; and
two electrically conducting shield sections each disposed on one of the first side and the second side and configured to shield against an electric field,
wherein the shield sections cover the central section and the at least one inserted electrical component.
2. The current conductor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the electrical device is a bus bar conductor.
3. The current conductor as recited in claim 2 , wherein the bus bar conductor is for an electrical medium voltage installation.
4. The current conductor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the central section includes an extruded material.
5. The current conductor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the shield sections include an extruded material.
6. The current conductor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the central section and the shield sections are integrally formed of a same extruded material.
7. The current conductor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the central section and the shield sections each include an aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
8. The current conductor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the shield sections include an electrically conducting plastic.
9. The current conductor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the shield sections include two concave sides facing each other to form a C-shape.
10. The current conductor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the central section includes a base section having a first side edge and a second side edge and extending lengthwise, and wherein the shield sections connect to the first side edge and the second side edge.
11. The current conductor as recited in claim 10 , wherein the base section includes a plurality of fins arranged at intervals from each other, each fin including a transverse bead, and wherein the inserted electrical component is fixable between adjacent transverse beads.
12. The current conductor as recited in claim 11 , wherein each of the at least one transverse bead forms an L-shape or T-shape with a corresponding fin.
13. The current conductor as recited in claim 12 , further comprising at least one lug, wherein the first side edge and the second side edge of the base section are configured to be locked using the at least one lug.
