Abstract

An electrical supply line, in particular for a motor vehicle, contains two conductor arrangements for different operating potentials, the conductor arrangements being electrically isolated from each other. The two conductor arrangements are disposed in one conductor layer each and are disposed one over the other. Each conductor arrangement has a plurality of individual conductors. The conductor arrangements are led in a cable duct which forms, for each of the individual conductors, an individual duct with lateral separating pieces. The individual conductors are each disposed between two separating pieces such that the individual conductors are fixed relative to each other.

First claim

1 - 16 . (canceled)

17 . An electrical supply line, comprising:
a cable duct having laterals separating ribs; and two conductor configurations, electrically isolated from one another, for different operating potentials, wherein said two conductor configurations are disposed in one conductor layer each and one above another, wherein each of said two conductor configurations has a plurality of individual conductors and said conductor configurations are guided in said cable duct, said cable duct has for each of said individual conductors an individual channel defined by said lateral separating ribs, and in that said individual conductors are disposed in a stationary manner relative to one another between two of said lateral separating ribs.

18 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein the electrical supply line is configured as a DC line with one of said conductor configurations as a forward conductor and another of said conductor configurations as a return conductor.

19 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein said individual conductors are clamped in their respective said individual channel.

20 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein each said conductor layer has exactly one of said conductor configurations for exactly one operating potential.

21 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein each of said individual conductors of said conductor layer are electrically connected to each other.

22 . The electrical supply line according to claim 21 , further comprising a common contact element, wherein an electrically conductive connection between said individual conductors is established via an integrally bonded connection or via a mechanical connection of said individual conductors to said common contact element.

23 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein said cable duct is a one-piece cable duct.

24 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein said individual conductors are round conductors.

25 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein said individual conductors are compacted conductors or solid conductors.

26 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein said individual conductors are bare conductors without insulation.

27 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein said individual conductors have different conductor cross sections.

28 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein said individual conductors of a first of said conductor layers have a smaller conductor cross section than said individual conductors of a second of said conductor layers.

29 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein in one of said conductor layers there is formed an empty channel between every two adjacent ones of said individual conductors.

30 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein said individual conductors of a first of said conductor layers are disposed next to each other, forming a gusset region, and said individual conductors of a second of said conductor layers are disposed in regions of said gusset regions.

31 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , wherein said cable duct has an intermediate floor which separates said two conductor configurations from one another, wherein said intermediate floor is corrugated.

32 . The electrical supply line according to claim 17 , further comprising fastening means disposed on said cable duct for fastening to a carrier component.

33 . The electrical supply line according to claim 23 , wherein said one-piece cable duct is configured as an extruded profile.

34 . The electrical supply line according to claim 28 , wherein in said first conductor layer having said individual conductors with the smaller conductor cross section, there is formed an empty channel between every two adjacent ones of said individual conductors.

35 . A device, comprising:
an electrical supply line, containing:
a cable duct having laterals separating ribs;
two conductor configurations, electrically isolated from one another, for different operating potentials, wherein said two conductor configurations are disposed in one conductor layer each and one above another, wherein each of said two conductor configurations has a plurality of individual conductors and said conductor configurations are guided in said cable duct, said cable duct has for each of said individual conductors an individual channel defined by said lateral separating ribs, and in that said individual conductors are disposed in a stationary manner relative to one another between two of said lateral separating ribs; and
said conductor configurations are configured to connected to different electrical reference potentials, and a first of said conductor configurations is configured as a forward conductor and a second of said conductor configurations is configured as a return conductor.
