Abstract: An improved electrical line comprising an electrical conductor (5) and a layer of thermoplastic material wherein the layer consists of at least one inner layer (6) and one outer layer (7) and the outer layer (7) comprises a lubricant which has migrated from the inner layer (6) into the outer layer (7).

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising insulated electric wires arranged in parallel to each other, each electric wire being surrounded by an insulating material and a thermoplastic supporting material, characterised in that the insulated electric wires are twisted together and define a bunch, and in that the thermoplastic supporting material is provided so as to connect all the insulated electric wires of the bunch together so that each insulated electric wire is connected to at least one insulated electric wire adjacent thereto, and so that a portion of the insulation material of at least one insulated electric wire of the bunch remains visually identifiable from outside the assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cable 1 comprising two or more insulated conductors 2s grouped together in a common sheath 3, each insulated conductor 2 comprising a conductive member 4 inside an insulative member 5. The invention is noteworthy in that each insulated conductor 2 is covered with a skin 6 that is attached to the insulative member 5 and is non-stick with reference to the sheath 3.

Abstract: The invention relates to a friction strip serving for the transfer of electrical energy to rolling stock and comprising a damage detection device. The friction strip consists of a wearing strip (2) of carbon based material comprising a groove (3) on its face which is in contact with the stirrup member (5) and a tightly sealed tube (4) placed in the groove is connected to the detection device. The material constituting the tube and the material constituting the wearing strip are selected to have closely related mechanical and thermo-mechanical characteristics; this is achieved with a tightly sealed tube of carbon based material. The invention also relates to the method of producing the friction strip.
