Abstract

An electrical line for the connection of non-stationary electrical loads to a power source is specified which has a line core surrounded by a jacket ( 8 ) of insulating material. Four wires ( 1 ), stranded together to form one star quad (S), for the transmission of data, and also two wires ( 2 ) stranded together to form a pair of wires (A) and used for supplying power are placed in the line core. The star quad (S) and the pair of wires (A) are stranded together as stranding elements for forming the line core and, over the same, a layer ( 5 ) of insulating material is placed, over which a braid or a stranded cover layer of copper wires is arranged in a first layer ( 6 ) as part of an electrical screen. At least one layer of a fleece material consisting of synthetic material and made electrically conductive is placed over the first layer ( 6 ) as second layer ( 7 ) of the electrical screen and the fleece material is surrounded by the jacket ( 8 ) of insulating material.

Claims (15)

1. Electrical line for the connection of non-stationary electrical loads to a power source, said electrical line comprising:

a line core surrounded by a jacket of insulating material, in which line core wires made of insulated electrical conductors used both for the transmission of data and for supplying power are arranged and in which the line core is surrounded by an electrical screen having two layers, one of which is constructed as braid or stranded cover layer of copper wires and the other one of which is constructed of a fleece material consisting of synthetic material made electrically conductive, wherein

four wires of said line core wires, stranded together to form one star quad, for the transmission of data are arranged in the line core,

at least two wires of said line core wires used for supplying power are also placed in the line core,

the star quad and the wires used for supplying power are stranded together as stranding elements for forming the line core,

over the line core, a layer of insulating material is placed,

over said layer of insulating material, a braid or stranded cover layer of copper wires is arranged as a first layer as part of the electrical screen,

the fleece material consisting of synthetic material and made electrically conductive is placed in at least one layer over the first layer as a second layer of the electrical screen, and

the fleece material is surrounded by the jacket of insulating material.

2. Electrical line according to claim 1 , wherein

said two wires used for supplying power are provided which are stranded together to form one pair of wires, and

the star quad and the pair of wires are stranded together.

3. Electrical line according to claim 1 , wherein the layer of insulating material consists of a material based on polypropylene or of a low-density polytetrafluoroethylene.

4. Electrical line according to claim 1 , wherein said inner first layer of said electrical screen includes an additional inner part composed of two metal-clad foils of synthetic material which have a metal layer on one side or on both sides are wound, in each case, with a gap over the layer of insulating material, the outer foil covering the gaps of the inner foil over which the first layer of the screen is placed.

5. Electrical line according to claim 4 , wherein said first layer as part of the electrical screen is constructed as stranded cover layer.
